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 are taking on a variety of new and much more complex computing tasks, evolving from standalone chips to more highly integrated devices that can rival complex microprocessors.

AVR's 32 registers constitute the architecture's fast-access RISC register file and connect directly to the processor's ALU. The ALU supports arithmetic and logic functions between registers or ...

Integrating processors, sensors, and data exchange functionality into everyday objects, the Internet of Things (IoT) pushes computing capabilities far beyond desktops and servers. On December 5, ...

The accumulator-based ST6 with only 40 instructions is a low-end µC with two 8-bit index registers; two 8-bit, general-purpose registers; an 8-bit accumulator register; and a 12-bit program counter.

When you think of IoT devices, chances are you are thinking about a connected camera or sensor. Most of those devices have very basic CPUs and run Linux or a similar operating system. Not every IoT ...
