again,

regardless of the granularity, microcode is formulated in HDL's like
even a simple inverter.
If you would insist, do it on the analogous side of the sensor. Then i
will agree, at the moment ;-)

But, that it is industry standard and not only the big player does it,
should.
It is day by day work for people developing embedded devices, PIC,
8051, ASIC, VLSI AD etc. pp.
Nobody will go back and 74er TTL's to implement a logical network in
hardware, so shouldn't we do in what will you call Software.
