The XC800 8-bit MCU family is ideal for a broad range of applications including motor control, transportation, building automation, automotive body, air conditioning or industrial automation. With the ...

Microcontrollers have come a long way, with 8-bit MCUs demonstrating tremendous resilience and application innovations through advances in memory, power consumption, packaging, and peripherals. 8-bit ...

Filtering occurs frequently in the analog world. Unfortunately, in the digital world, engineers apply it mainly to the DSPs (digital-signal processors) and not to the small 8-bit microcontrollers that ...

The 8-bit microcontroller celebrated its 44th birthday this year, but even though its making its way into many new applications, some very common myths surround the elder statesman of the embedded ...

Leading microcontroller and touch solutions provider Atmel CorporationATML recently announced the launch of its new ATtinyArray02/Array04 microcontroller unit (MCU) -- the highest performing, low ...

NEC introduced a low-power 8-bit microcontroller which running off a 2.7V supply operates at full speed, consumes 18µA (typical) and has a standby current of 0.9µA (typical). The µPD789881 also ...

[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 humble 8-bit microcontroller has a long and prosperous life ahead of it, says Ross Bannatyne of Silicon Labs If you looked up 8-bit microcontroller in a dictionary in 1995, you would find verbiage ...

[Craig] sent in a link to this project which manages to implement color tracking on an 8-bit microcontroller at 60 frames per second. That’s some pretty incredible performance, but we’re also not ...

Sure, Project Natal is the hotness and a little bird tells us PlayStation Move is pretty bodacious, but you don't have to buy a fancy game console to sooth your motion-tracking blues. When students at ...
