Inside any electronic device, from an old television remote to a global positioning system, there will be at least one microcontroller unit (MCU) and, in many cases, several. MCUs are used in ...

Microcontrollers and FPGAs often work together in embedded systems. As more functions move into the FPGA, however, debugging the interface between the two devices becomes more difficult. The ...

Today’s marketplace is getting heavily disrupted by the current semiconductor chip shortage that has hampered our manufacturing production lines. This is evident by the limited supply of products ...

Rated at 30 MIPS at a frequency of 40 MHz, the Field Programmable System Level Integration Circuit (FPSLIC) combines an 8-bit microcontroller with over 50 kgates of ...

Fig 1. Intel’s E600C blends an Intel Atom processor with an Altera FPGA on a multi-chip package linking the two using PCI Express links. Fig 2. Xilinx’s Zynq-7000 EPP puts a full dual-core Cortex-A9 ...

We are certainly spoiled by all the microcontroller options nowadays — which is a great problem to have. But between the good old 8-bit controllers and an increasing number of 32-bit varieties, it ...

San Jose, Ca. – At the Embedded Systems Conference here, Atmel (Booth 316) took the wraps off its newest CAP7L metal customizable MCU that allows ARM7-based SoCs to be implemented with 12 week ...

We believe its microcontroller segment, its largest segment (54% of revenues), could benefit from the expected growth in IoT and projected its revenue to grow by 5.4% on average. Moreover, we expect ...

Microchip’s revenue will grow significantly in the long term driven by its FPGA and microcontroller solutions. The company is rapidly paying off its debt, which is driving the demand for its shares, ...
