Technology races forward, and it's putting a lot of pressure on embedded-system developers. Competing in markets with increasingly complex applications, developers often face performance shortfalls ...

With the rise of the ARM processor architecture and the widespread adoption of 32-bit microcontrollers it would be all too easy to assume that as 32-bit chips fall in price and power then the argument ...

MILPITAS, Calif. & BIEL, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IXYS Corporation (NASDAQ: IXYS), an international power semiconductor and IC company, has completed its previously announced acquisition of ...

The venerable 8-bit microcontroller just keeps chugging along. Despite the performance advantages of its 16- and 32-bit siblings, 8-bit micros still accounted for a substantial percentage of the ...

Thanks to its reconfigurable peripherals, the original programmable system-ona- chip (PSoC) from Cypress Semiconductor is one of the major microcontroller advances of the past decade. However, its ...

Eight-bit microcontrollers-called that because they operate on data eight bits at a time-continue to dominate the microcontroller market, although 32-bit controllers are showing faster market growth.
