San Jose, Calif.&#151 Renesas Technology America, Inc. is readying its E8a emulator, an ultra-small tool for debugging embeddedsystems and programming Renesas microcontroller's on-chip flash memory.

This article presents an introduction of microcontrollers as the first part on the series Embedded Systems Programming. It describes the structure and operation of the microcontroller, and the purpose ...

If you want to use the reset pin as I/O, you will need to use High Voltage Parallel Programming to talk to your chip. Even if you don’t decide to do that, at some point you’re going to screw up and ...

[Andrew] picked up a handful of these big STC 8051 chips for a song and dance. The problem he has with them is the clunky VB6 programming software that only wants to run on a Windows box. He buckled ...

Makers, hobbyists and developers that enjoy creating wearable electronic projects or anything that is connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) may be interested in a new 32-bit microcontroller ...

Power management and motor control chip standards are evolving in response to increasingly complex end application demands, and microcontroller units (MCU) are being used to handle more sophisticated ...

End applications continue to demand increased flexibility, configurability and performance, along with reduced power demands, board space and cost. To address the increasing pressure for integration ...

The 177-MHz NS9360 MCU targets compact network applications. Digi's chip is based on the ARM 926EJ-S, the most powerful ARM-based processor core with DSP support. The core also has ARM Jazelle Java ...
