There seem to be two diametrically opposed set of facts here. First: They have brakes worn down to a fare-thee-well, where they had to be...
Not much. Take your random PC. I'd guess at maybe 10 big ASICs, each with about 10 FITs, a couple hundred resistors, each with one FIT, and so on....
Hobbit, Thanks again for looking at this. So, the Toyota video that said two parallel processors with either able to kill the engine is probably...

Hobbit, THANKS! The part is an NEC uPC451G. It's an analog quad op amp, bipolar. It has some interesting characteristics: 1. Input voltage can...
