Freescale -based Freescale envisions its chip being embedded in a stretchable electronic patch or even under the skin, as an implant for such monitors. NXP Semiconductors has launched its newest chip, the Steve Tateosian microcontroller, which is as 'thin as a blade of grass', for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Packing in a 120-megahertz processor and a variety of memories and interfaces, yet small enough to serve as the chip brain for secure credit cards, wearables, and other razor-thin consumer electronics, multiple products using the chip are expected to be launched in 2020 . The thinner chip has in-built security and offers product designers better flexibility and scope for creativity. one potential use is a glucose monitor in a stretchable electronic patch that adheres to skin or is even implanted under the skin.
