## Summary

Dima Mymrikov, Senior Director of Product Marketing at Renesas, demonstrates the GreenPAK programmable mixed-signal IC family and its Go Configure software. He shows how engineers can replace multiple discrete components with a single tiny chip by drawing schematic-like block diagrams instead of writing code. The tutorial covers designing a window comparator, adding digital filtering, and implementing level shifters and I²C expanders within one device. Mymrikov highlights the benefits of rapid prototyping, low power consumption, and cost savings compared to traditional ASIC development.
