While microcontroller specs may be the first thing engineers look at when deciding on a device for their system, the ecosystem that surrounds the microcontroller is certainly very important, and ...

Characteristics and contrasts with microprocessors. Hints on selecting and deploying microcontrollers. What might be on the horizon for microcontrollers, especially the competition between Von Neumann ...

Raspberry Pi was synonymous with single-board Linux computers. No longer. The $4 Raspberry Pi Pico board is their attempt to break into the crowded microcontroller module market. The microcontroller ...

[Hugatry] wanted to replace the adjustment pot on an LM2596 buck converter with a microprocessor-controlled voltage. The regulator IC uses a divider to generate a 1.25V reference from the output. The ...

In this article, I'll be explaining the basics of how microcontrollers work, physically and virtually. First off, microcontrollers are no simple thing, so don't be discouraged if you find it ...

In our last session we looked at the basic structure and operation of a microcontroller (MCU). Now let’s look at some of the hardware (peripheral circuitry) required to support the microprocessor. In ...

The evolution of microcontrollers (MCUs) has significantly transformed embedded systems, shifting from simple, standalone processors to complex, multifunctional units that rival traditional systems-on ...

When designing a system, one of the most important design decisions is choosing what voltage domain(s) to use. Some voltage domains, such as 5 V, are good for noisy and harsh operating environments ...

There are currently around 600 programming languages to choose from, so picking the one that’s right for you can be pretty difficult. But if you’re looking for a language that’s incredibly popular, ...

STMicroelectronics faces a significant revenue decline, driven by underperformance in the Industrial Microcontrollers segment, with a 60.2% drop. The company's higher exposure to the weak European ...
