As computer systems become more and more ubiquitous in everyday items, the workings of those items will require some sort of digital controlling. Controllers that once handled large mechanical systems ...

Any electronic system that uses a computer chip but is not a general-purpose desktop or laptop computer, tablet or smartphone. Embedded systems use microcontrollers (MCUs), microprocessors (MPUs) or ...

Microcontrollers have proliferated into every nook and cranny of our daily lives from simple 8-bit devices that control our toaster ovens to powerful 32-bit DSPs that provide us with the rich media ...

When 8- and 16-bit microcontroller companies spot the opportunities that exist in the emerging net-centric computing-device and embedded Internet market, they sometimes act like deer caught in the ...

Where code meets reality, embedded systems come at that intersection, demanding precision, efficiency, and careful planning.

Arithmetic logic unit (ALU), which performs computation. Registers needed for the basic operation of the CPU, such as the program counter (PC), stack pointer (SP), and status register (SR). Further ...

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 automotive electronics industry continues to expand its use of 8-bit and 16-bit microcontrollers (MCUs). With the MCU being the cornerstone of electronic control modules (ECMs), from safety ...

Renesas Technology announced the first RX Family microcontroller (MCU) products built around the RX CPU for embedded systems. Built around a RX CISC-type CPU core, the eight 32-bit devices deliver ...
