to this edition of Focus On: Motor Control. This month's featured
article was written by Ram Sathappan and Jean Anne Booth from TI, and
explains how the use of a single microprocessor core can streamline
motor control development. In the Toolkit section, take note of Actel's
in-depth discussion of its mixed-signal programmable ICs and how they
enable single-chip motion control. There are also some interesting
developments highlighted in the news section. Hope you enjoy.<br>

                        <span class="blurb"> By carefully analyzing the
performance, functionality, and communications requirements at each
level of control, designers are able to use a unified, standard
processor-core architecture that not only provides optimal solutions at
a competitive price, but also provides a reduction in software
development cost and a significant reduction in design cycle time
through software reuse. This article explains how to build a unified
control environment using architectures such as TI's Stellaris ARM
