Choosing a microcontroller is a matter of convenience, but it doesn’t have to be this way. There are dozens of different ARM cores alone, hundreds of 8051 clones, and weirder stuff including the ...

Understanding the trade-offs between different microcontroller architectures can help in making an informed decision that balances performance, cost, and complexity.

A microprocessor is an integrated circuit that contains no memory. A microcontroller has the ability to store information. The size of a circuit can be significantly reduced. This is because ...

The GR716B radiation-hardened microcontroller from Frontgrade Gaisler handles multiple tasks over extended periods in space.

The first is the flexibility of programmable IO that an FPGA can offer. While a microcontroller has fixed and limited IO, an FPGA can be programmed for various IO interface standards (I2C, I2S, RGB, ...
