This course introduces students to the architecture and design of Microcontrollers (MCUs), which are small processors used in a myriad of products. The main MCU components of the processor, memory, ...

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.

I need to select the brain of my upcoming robotics project. There will need to be a Raspberry Pi involved to do (at least) speech recognition. Professionally, I'm a c# programmer, so I wouldn't mind ...

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 ...

Editor's Note: View the Fundamentals of Microcontrollers to catch up on the architectural differences, selection, set up and programming of today's micros. To work through the thicket of choices, it's ...

ARM’s TrustZone security has been key to its higher-end solutions like the Cortex-A series, but it is now part of the Cortex-M with the advent of the ARMv8-M microcontroller architecture (Fig. 1). The ...

Electronic Design's own Lou Frenzel is updating one of his textbooks—and is soliciting advice from readers on microcontroller content to include. I am in the process of updating my book "Electronics ...
