It’s difficult to convey in an era when a UNIX-like operating system sits in your pocket, how there was once a time when the mere word was enough to convey an aura of immense computing power. If you ...

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 ...

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

The Raspberry Pi RP2350 microcontroller is generally available, meaning the chip can now be picked up from resellers rather ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Most smart gadgets still need the internet for anything that smells like intelligence, since the most powerful models live in the cloud. Edge device companies want the thinking to happen on the device ...

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 ...
