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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

AVR microcontrollers can do pretty much anything nowadays. Blinking LEDs, handling sensor inputs, engine control modules, and now, thanks to [Dan], a small single chip BASIC computer with only ten ...

The popularity of Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) has rapidly soared over the years due to the numerous advantages it offers over other display technologies. This application note provides an ...

Whether an embedded system runs on batteries or is connected to the grid, designing a system that is green and minimizes energy consumption is a common requirement for most systems. One of the biggest ...
