The AVR ONE! is a powerful development tool for on-chip debugging and programming of all AVR32 devices. The tool uses AVR32 Studio 2 as its supported IDE interface along with ISP, JTAG and PDI. It has ...

A microprocessor is an integrated circuit that contains no memory. A microcontroller has the ability to store information. The size of a circuit can be significantly reduced. This is because ...

An increasing number of vendors offer 32-bit microcontrollers based on ARM® Cortex®-M processors, and at the same time, there are also new development environments introduced for these microcontroller ...

In last week's installment, we showed how to get started with Csound. This week we take it to the next step by constructing a homemade MIDI controller circuit and use the new device to control Csound ...

The AVR 8-bit microcontroller's modified Harvard architecture was introduced in 1997. These Atmel microcontrollers are popular among a reasonably large number of developers because they provide decent ...

Back in the olden days, when the Wire library still sucked, the Arduino was just a microcontroller. Now, we have single board computers and cheap microcontrollers with WiFi built in. As always, ...

Many PIC processors require 5-V power while being programmed, yet battery-powered systems may contain low-voltage devices that will be damaged at voltages above their maximum voltage ratings. In ...

SST (Silicon Storage Technology), a leader in flash memory technology, has announced a new addition to the company’s popular SuperFlash-based FlashFlex family of 8-bit, 8051-compatible ...

Let’s not beat around the bush. One of the lowest priorities for your embedded system is security. Most teams are pressured to deliver fast, and while securing your microcontroller-based IoT device is ...
