The report by The William Baldwin Group, Palo Alto, Calif., bases its results on the responses of 640 engineers polled about the devices and tools they use. The survey also shows a substantial ...

Microcontrollers (MCUs) have widely been considered the workhorses of embedded design – responsible for reading inputs, controlling outputs ...

Structure and timing of typical microprocessors. Sample microprocessor families. Memories, UARTS, timer/counters, serial devices, and related devices. MUX and related control structures for building ...

We use a microcontroller without a second thought, in applications where once we might have resorted to a brace of 74 logic chips. But how many of us have spared a thought for how the microcontroller ...

Integrating processors, sensors, and data exchange functionality into everyday objects, the Internet of Things (IoT) pushes computing capabilities far beyond desktops and servers, weaving computation ...

The need for timing in embedded programming often exceeds the small number of available hardware timers in microcontrollers. For example, the Microchip PIC16F84A has one timer, but you can create as ...

Characteristics and contrasts with microprocessors. Hints on selecting and deploying microcontrollers. What might be on the horizon for microcontrollers, especially the competition between Von Neumann ...

A solid knowledge of logic gates is at the basis of programming and electronics. This is required in any project. Truth tables are a great way to visualize the results of various combinations of ...

This article is part of our reviews of AI research papers, a series of posts that explore the latest findings in artificial intelligence. Deep learning models owe their initial success to large ...

We could all use a new hobby in 2021, especially after tiring of our old ones over the past year. If you're hoping to expand your interests and happen to have some free time on your hands at home due ...

Our cars are filled with a dizzying number of microcontrollers (MCUs), chips that do anything from lowering the windows to absolutely nothing while they wait to deploy the airbags. You find (if you ...
