Inside any electronic device, from an old television remote to a global positioning system, there will be at least one microcontroller unit (MCU) and, in many cases, several. MCUs are used in ...

In 1999 Altera set out to develop the Nios processor, a product that would provide the functionality of a microcontroller within a PLD. However, first we had to better understand the needs of ...

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

Typically, air flow is measured with a hot-wire anemometer. Here's an alternative version of that concept using two thin-film platinum resistance temperature detectors. A high-performance mixed-signal ...

The semiconductor industry lives and dies by a simple statement of belief: faster, cheaper, and smaller. With the progression of technology, manufacturing semiconductor products is becoming more ...

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 ...

STMicrocelectronics announced the release of its New STM32 microcontroller design tools that bring the efficiency of the STM32Cube™ software platform, and the convenience of STM32Nucleo development ...
