“Massimo has been a consultant for NXP Microcontrollers for several years. During that time, he's been one of
our most active and helpful consultants. He participated in our LPC4300 Cortex-M4 "Experts" program and is a
frequent contributor on our technical forums. He is experienced in complete products (hardware and software)
in medical devices, data acquisition/monitoring, electronics scales, vending machines, remote controls,
electronic automatic payment systems, and human interfaces systems."

“Massimo proved extremely competent, delivered his project on time, and worked very well with our internal
engineers. He went over and above by sharing his expertise in our internal forums with other engineers. I
appreciated his detailed knowledge and enthusiasm, I wouldn't hesitate to work with Massimo again. "
Bob Scaccia
President

“Massimo helped us to fix some rather complex issues we had with the customer working on an Ignition
Control Unit. It was something they were stuck on for six months, and he fixed it in a few days. His 'written'
English is excellent. He has an accent which is a little strong but workable. Phenomenal talent.”

8. Certifications and partnerships
Micron Engineering is ARM partner since 2012 being part of the ARM
Connected program and is listed among the design partners for SoC and
R&D services. Cortex-M4, M3 and M0 are most used microcontrollers from
various silicon vendors but also ARM7 and ARM9 microcontrollers and
microprocessors were used.
Micron Engineering is NXP Partner since 2009 for RFID/NFC tags and
readers, microcontrollers and payment systems design after having used
NXP and Philips microcontrollers for more than 10 years, especially Cortex-
M3 and Cortex-M0 models. In the last quarter of 2011, our founder and
CTO, personally collaborated with NXP to test the LPC4300 dual
asymmetric core microcontroller family and during 2013 for LPC4370,
LpcLink2 and the LabTool.
Micron Engineering is Renesas Alliance Partner since 2006. The founder
used Hitachi microcontrollers since 1987 (8 years before founding Micron
Engineering). At first were used ex-Hitachi microcontrollers and more
recently some microcontrollers of the RL78, RX62, RZ and RH850 families.
Initially Hitachi microcontrollers were used designing weighing scales,
industrial and electromedical applications. Then they were used in
automotive designing ECUs for gasoline and electrical cars, little robotic
applications and led lighting applications.
