Gruntware Inc

GruntWare is dedicated to providing the engineering community with a first ever database of all Microcontrollers (MCUs) on the market today, searchable by manufacturer and a myriad of parametric options. The company's mission is to provide tools that help embedded design engineers with their product design efforts, while also assisting vendors with their field sales/tech support (GOPHER Pro) as well as in-house marketing analyses (GOPHER Stat). Since 2008 the GOPHER products have evolved from the installable CD version - originally called simply GOPHER - to the downloadable GOPHER PC version (no longer in production), replaced by the current online GOPHER Web Plus. Some of the most extensive features were available only in GOPHER PC but will soon be implemented in GOPHER Web Plus (such as "Pin-Sharing Resolution"). A successful search engine is only as good as the database that supports it, and the comprehensive GOPHER database includes all 18 major MCU manufacturers with all their MCUs (currently 27,755), with 115 standardized search parameters within each record. With the magnitude of these dimensions and advanced programmng techniques, GOPHER promises to find your "best fit" MCU every time! For the first time, users can compare MCUs in an easy to comprehend table of MCU parts by 115 standardized parametric features extracted from MCU product data sheets. The search engine provides quick responsive searches regardless of the volumes of data being searched - e.g. number of manufacturers, MCU parts and/or number of parameters. GOPHER finds all of this for you FAST! After GOPHER Web Plus finds your "best fit" MCU (in a matter of minutes), a simple secondary search will locate all the support products you require. GOPHER provides 7,993,279 web links - each taking you directly to the support products specifically made to match your MCU.
