The 8051 was an 8-bit Harvard-architecture microcontroller first put out by Intel in 1980.  They’ve since discontinued that ...

ABSTRACT: In many real-time resource-constrained embedded systems, highly-predictable system behavior is a key design requirement. The “time-triggered co-operative” (TTC) scheduling algorithm provides ...

Texas Instruments says it has shrunk the size of the smallest microcontroller unit in its industry with a new MCU the size of a black pepper flake. The MCU packaging is only 1.38 square millimeters in ...

Design and implementation of an ASIC with an 8051 microcontroller core. Includes VHDL modules, C applications, RTL simulations, and mixed-signal validation. Focused on hardware-software co-design and ...

Mindgrove’s first commercial high-performance SoC (system on chip) Secure IoT designed on open-source instruction set architecture (ISA) RISC-V The startup expects to improve cost efficiency for ...

Methods to enhance security for microcontrollers. What questions to ask when considering a security solution. Strong security requires a strong foundation. Before the MCU can secure the entire system, ...

Architecture is the design of spaces for human occupation. Despite architects’ skill in designing spaces to influence human behavior there often is a shortfall in anticipating and reacting to ...

8-bit microcontrollers are here to stay despite the rise of 32-bit microcontrollers. Renesas introduced the RL78/G15 entry-level 8-bit microcontroller in a tiny 3x3mm package at the beginning of the ...

Contemporary Indian design culture can aptly be described with one word - fusion. A close look at the trends in fashion, cinema, music, and art soon reveals the country’s aspirations as a globalized ...
