What happens when you combine an Arduino-based microcontroller with a palm-sized aluminum box and clicky buttons? A fidget ...

Let’s say you’re working on a project, and you need a microcontroller. Which chip do you reach for? Probably the one you’re most familiar with, or at least the one whose programmer is hiding away in a ...

Selecting the right microcontroller for a product can be a daunting task. Not only are there a number of technical features to consider, there are also business case issues such as cost and lead-times ...

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 ...

Many microcontrollers have built-in ADCs (analog-to-digital converters), which means you can use a single device to both digitize analog signals and manipulate the results. Once the ADC digitizes a ...

STMicroelectronics. (STM) was in the spotlight on Tuesday as it unveiled a new 18 nanometer microcontroller, and some new tools for artificial intelligence. Shares fell 1.9% in premarket trading.

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 ...

If you thought the Raspberry Pi's chip was dinky, well, get a load of the nattily named Texas Instruments MSPM0C1104, said to the world's smallest microcontroller or MCU and measuring a mere 1.38 mm².

Texas Instruments has officially unveiled the MSPM0C1104, which it claims to be the world's smallest microcontroller. This remarkable device measures a mere 1.38 mm², which is only slightly larger ...

When taking measurements from analog sensors located at long distances, voltage drops and noise can affect precision of the readings. Therefore, a voltage-to-current (V/I) module is needed to transmit ...
