In this article we first highlighted the real problem of microprocessor obsolescence and the challenge it presents. We then presented the FPGA-based options available to designers who must deal with ...

Any electronic system that uses a computer chip, but that is not a general-purpose workstation, desktop or laptop computer. Such systems use microcontrollers (MCUs) or microprocessors (MPUs), or ...

In the past 30 years, of course, microprocessors and microcontrollers (embedded microprocessors with integrated components) have become ubiquitous. In 2000 alone, ...

RS Components has grouped together a range of microcontrollers and associated devices from a number of suppliers in its move to address embedded control applications. The catalogue and online ...

Rabbit Semiconductor The 8-bit Rabbit 2000 microprocessor operates as fast as 30 MHz and has numerous on-chip peripherals, including four serial ports and. Aspencore network. News & Analytics Products ...

Writing code for embedded hardware (microprocessor, microcontroller, FPGA), as opposed to a full-fledged computer, is known as firmware development. Software that controls the sensors, peripherals, ...

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.

But these ICs are designed to work with microcontrollers. In this manually operated digital potentiometer, two pushbuttons control the wiper resistance without a microcontroller ( Fig. 1 ) .
