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 ...

Selecting the right microcontroller for a product can be a daunting task. Not only are there a number of technical features to consider, there are also business case issues such as cost and lead-times ...

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 ...

We used to need SBCs for these projects; modern microcontrollers handle them more easily and inexpensively while being easier ...

Raspberry Pi was synonymous with single-board Linux computers. No longer. The $4 Raspberry Pi Pico board is their attempt to break into the crowded microcontroller module market. The microcontroller ...

[Hugatry] wanted to replace the adjustment pot on an LM2596 buck converter with a microprocessor-controlled voltage. The regulator IC uses a divider to generate a 1.25V reference from the output. The ...

Microcontrollers (MCUs) have widely been considered the workhorses of embedded design – responsible for reading inputs, controlling outputs ...

Using a microcontroller to manage the operation of a switching power supply allows designers to implement new programmable features previously unavailable from stand-alone controller chips. Many of ...

From Caesar ciphers to AES and RSA, Practical Microcontroller Cryptography shows how cryptography actually runs on ...
