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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In many instances, the way embedded software is structured and how itinteracts with the hardware in a system can have a profound effect onthe transient immunity performance of a system. It can be ...
