“Highest performance” is a sexy phrase, and, in the spectrum of microprocessors and microcontrollers, wider device architectures push what highest performance means on a nearly daily basis. Highest ...

On December 5, students in the COMP_ENG 346: Microprocessor System Design course led by Northwestern Engineering’s Branden Ghena presented a hands-on, public demonstration of their ...

See microcontroller. Embedded in a Shoe! The microprocessor in this sneaker calculates the foot-to-ground pressure and continuously adjusts the comfort level by moving a cushion.

First things first. Do you need a microcontroller or a microprocessor? These birds of a feather are distinct but inhabit overlapping use cases. Thus, understanding their comparative strengths is a ...

Microcontroller or Microprocessor: Making the Right Choice Microprocessors have a single processing core (CPU), typically powerful enough to handle complex applications involving lots of memory.

As applications and the standards by which they operate evolve over time, the narrower market space of the microcontroller design makes it more vulnerable to obsolescence. This article examines the ...

Arm Cortex-M85: Breaking new grounds with Cortex-M Faced with more demanding compute requirements, Cortex-M microcontroller system developers are faced with a choice: optimizing software to squeeze ...
