It’s generally pretty easy to spot a microcontroller on a PCB. There are clues aplenty: the more-or-less central location, the nearby crystal oscillator, the maze of supporting passives, and perhaps ...

What are Microprocessors and Microcontrollers? Microprocessors and microcontrollers are essential components of an embedded system. These are single-chip processors that accelerate the computing ...

Microcontrollers (MCUs) have widely been considered the workhorses of embedded design – responsible for reading inputs, controlling outputs ...

We used to need SBCs for these projects; modern microcontrollers handle them more easily and inexpensively while being easier to maintain.

Meet the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W, a tiny board designed around a microcontroller that lets you build hardware projects at scale. Raspberry Pi is once again using the RP2350, its own well-documented ...

Flash memory-based microcontrollers have changed the landscape for embedded applications. Programming speeds and access times have improved. Flash reliability is no longer a concern in all but the ...
