Upgrading from an 8-bit to a 32-bit microcontroller (MCU) typically requires substantial software changes, even when a high-level language like C is employed, because the peripheral architectures ...

MAKING IT EASIER TO DEBUG Debugging on an 8-bit microcontroller without ICE (in-circuit emulation) hardware can be an exercise in patience. Developers using 32-bit processors are used to much more.

8-bit microprocessors in a low cost battle groundRichard Wilson STMicroelectronics is taking on the low cost 8-bit microcontroller afficionados, namely Motorola, Atmel, Philips and Microchip, with its ...

IXYS’ wholly-owned subsidiary, Zilog, Inc., will offer the 4- and 8-bit microcontrollers acquired from Samsung, as well as its current expansive MCU product offerings.

Turning these videos into talkies was a bit of a problem, but after taking an uncompressed .WAV file and sending that to a PWM pin on the ATMega, [Vinod] managed to play sound alongside his video.

One reason for the compact instructions is that the architecture, except for the accumulator, is memory-mapped. Also, National based the COP8 on a modified Harvard architecture. COP8 chips can run ...

[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 … ...

RISC-V defines a 32-bit processor instruction set architecture (ISA) ... The 8-bit microcontroller market was about $8B in 2020, expected to grow between 4% and 5% for the foreseeable future, ...

The TMS370's register-based architecture has 73 instructions and as many as 256 8-bit registers in a RAM register file. The CPU can address these registers as registers or as RAM. An 8-bit stack ...
