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 ...

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 ...

For many years, the 8-bit microcontroller has been the workhorse of embedded systems. Design teams favor the size and power benefits that a tightly coupled processor, such as the 8051 microcontroller, ...

Xilinx high-performance CPLD, FPGA, and configuration PROM families provide in-system programmability, reliable pin locking, and IEEE Std 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary-scan test capability. This powerful ...

Despite the hopes and dreams of many embedded engineers, reliable code doesn’t happen by accident. It is a painstaking process that requires developers to maintain and manage every bit and byte of the ...
