Abstract
How CHIPS are used in everyday life? Since CHIPS themselves are not easy to see in the devices such as smartphones or computers, it may to be hard to understand and recognize their importance, but in fact they are used in many electric appliances.
For examples, one smartphone has more than 2000 CHIPS, temperature sensors used in air conditioners are made with CHIPS. Rice cookers cook rice perfectly because CHIPS control the temperature precisely. CPUs that operate personal computers are also made with CHIPS. Many digital consumer products in everyday life such as mobile phones / smartphones, digital cameras, televisions, washing machines, refrigerators and LED bulbs also use CHIPS. It is not exaggerating to say that NO CHIPS, NO Phones and no good life, not even mention AI.
In addition to consumer electronics, CHIPS play a central role in the operation of bank ATMs, trains, the internet, communications and other parts of social infrastructure, such as the medical network used for the care of elderly, among other things. Furthermore, efficient logistics systems help save energy and promote the preservation of the global environment. The number of car-mounted CHIPS devices has been increasing steadily. There are many types of car-mounted CHIPS. Particularly for future ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), more CHIPS are expected to be used.
In this way, CHIPS help us to live comfortable lives. In this talk, I will briefly introduce the basic principle of CHIPS, its invention and history as well as its future in perspective.
