While microcontroller specs may be the first thing engineers look at when deciding on a device for their system, the ecosystem that surrounds the microcontroller is certainly very important, and ...

We see it all the time on Digi-Key’s TechXchange forum: beginning electrical engineering enthusiasts looking to select their first microcontroller. With more than 36,000 microcontrollers to choose ...

This paper describes the design and implementation of a version of the 8051 microcontroller, one of the most commercially used microcontrollers in FPGA with reconfigurable instruction set.

Microcontrollers existed before the Arduino, and a device that anyone could program and blink an LED existed before the first Maker Faire. This might come as a surprise to some, but for others PICs ...
