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 ...

In fact, the new architecture includes some twists that higher-end processors may institute in the future. For example, bit banging is common in microcontrollers.

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 ...

[Vinod] sent us his way of playing video on these small color screens, surprisingly using only an ATMega32 microprocessor. The build started off by saving uncompressed image data on an SD card ...

64-bit RISC-V Multicore Processor with 1024-bit Vector Extension AndesCore™ AX45MPV 64-bit multicore CPU IP is an 8-stage superscalar processor with Vector Processing Unit (VPU) based on AndeStar™ V5 ...

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.

The COP8's accumulator-based architecture includes six to eight control and data registers, one of which is an 8-bit program-status register. The CPU also includes two 8-bit address registers, a ...

[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 … ...

This article presents the aspects of building USB3.0 application using low performance 8-bit microcontroller taking an 8051 derivative as an example. First it gives a technical overview of the USB ...

Microcontrollers exist in almost everything, but can RISC-V satisfy the needs of this market? Is it small enough to replace 8-bit processors? What might help people migrate to a more modern processor ...
