Embedded microcontrollers are the original SoC devices. In the last few years FPGA and PLD manufacturers have proffered the term "System- on- a Programmable Chip" (SOPC) which captures the idea of ...

A common enough microcontroller project is to create some form of logic analyzer. In theory, it should be pretty easy: grab some digital inputs, store them, and display them. But, of course, the devil ...

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 ...

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 ...

[Ted Fried] recently found a beautiful HP 1600A/1607A logic analyzer set. State of the art in 1975, it looks like glorious Space Age equipment today. He decided to hook it up some modern gear to put ...

A processor or controller chip. "Logic" implies "processing," in which a set of instructions is executed. The instructions may be a permanent set embedded in a microcontroller or, for smartphones, ...

The widely applied microcontroller in automotive electronics is heading full-speed at a wall of time and cost. The primary benefit of using microcontrollers (MCUs) has been high level system ...

Before the introduction of on-chip debugging, most software developers were using expensive In-Circuit Emulators (ICE) for application testing on microcontrollers.High-end emulators were connected via ...

On April 18th, Microsoft has announced the acquisition of Express Logic, a San Diego-based embedded software company, for an undisclosed sum. Since its entry into the IoT market through Azure and ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. This 8051 microcontroller-based control circuit adjusts the speed of a small permanent-magnet dc motor via photosensors ...
