Microcontrollers have proliferated into every nook and cranny of our daily lives from simple 8-bit devices that control our toaster ovens to powerful 32-bit DSPs that provide us with the rich media ...

Structure and timing of typical microprocessors. Sample microprocessor families. Memories, UARTS, timer/counters, serial devices, and related devices. MUX and related control structures for building ...

As computer systems become more and more ubiquitous in everyday items, the workings of those items will require some sort of digital controlling. Controllers that once handled large mechanical systems ...

In the last several posts, we’ve started to explore Embedded Rust. You’ve seen that the Cortex-M QuickStart Template is a great place to start. A generic template, though, isn’t going to help you ...

Today’s embedded developers look for hardware and software solutions that enable them to respond quickly and easily to customer and market demands, last-minute design changes and competitive ...

Very often while developing complex systems, engineers have to greatly simplify the task of writing final user space applications. In this case it is desirable to move as far as possible from 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 ...

When designing a system, one of the most important design decisions is choosing what voltage domain(s) to use. Some voltage domains, such as 5 V, are good for noisy and harsh operating environments ...
