[Paul] has been working on porting over Arduino libraries for use with the Teensy microcontroller platform. This tends to be pretty simple since they both use the same Atmel chip architecture. But ...

The LCD displays for Nokia phones have seen a ton of use as easily interfaced displays for Arduino or other microcontroller projects. Usually, these LCDs are only used for displaying a few lines of ...

Eight-bit microcontrollers-called that because they operate on data eight bits at a time-continue to dominate the microcontroller market, although 32-bit controllers are showing faster market growth.

This article presents the aspects of building USB3.0 application using low performance 8-bit microcontroller taking an 8051 derivative as an example. First it gives a technical overview of the USB ...

The year Intel rolled out its first 8-bit microprocessor, Apollo 17 landed on the Moon. The Volkswagen Beetle became the best-selling car in history, surpassing the Ford Model T. And “The Godfather” ...

With the rise of the ARM processor architecture and the widespread adoption of 32-bit microcontrollers it would be all too easy to assume that as 32-bit chips fall in price and power then the argument ...

The TMP86P20XP low-cost One-Time-Programmable (OTP) microcontroller handles 8-MHz operation. It comes in two versions: The TMP86P202P supports a ceramic or crystal ...

The rise in popularity of 32-bit microcontroller (MCU) devices across the embedded community comes as no surprise. These function-rich devices suit an array of different applications, which explains ...

Because the main concern in migrating from an 8-bit microcontroller to a 32-bit device is how to reuse existing software, designers need 32-bit choices that offer peripheral compatibility with 8-bit ...
