This article presents an introduction of microcontrollers as the first part on the series Embedded Systems Programming. It describes the structure and operation of the microcontroller, and the purpose ...

The CC3200 is a SimpleLink™ single-chip wireless MUC for Wi-Fi and Internet-of-Things solution. The device is a wireless MCU that integrates a high-performance ARM Cortex-M4 MCU, allowing customers to ...

Why didn’t they do this sooner? That’s the question some embedded engineers designing with microcontrollers (MCUs) are asking about the idea of adding analog signal-chain components in MCUs. With ...

Power management and motor control chip standards are evolving in response to increasingly complex end application demands, and microcontroller units (MCU) are being used to handle more sophisticated ...

In recent years, integrated platforms equipped with microcontrollers (with Arduino probably being the best-known brand) have been gaining popularity.

The Dabao open-source hardware board features a Boachip-1x RISC-V MCU, whose RTL Verilog files are also open, and is IRIS inspectable.

The Dabao Evaluation board is a tiny new single-board computer with a USB 2.0 Type-C port, a 20-pin GPIO header, and a custom RISC-V chip called the Baochip-1x. It’s that last bit that makes this ...

Digital signal processors (DSPs) earn their living by doing certain analog jobs better than analog circuitry. In some cases, where analog circuits can’t even be considered for a task due to cost or ...
