As computer systems become more and more ubiquitous in everyday items, the workings of those items will require some sort of digital controlling. Controllers that once handled large mechanical systems ...

Geneva, Switzerland — STMicroelectronics has added a series of 8-bit flash microcontrollers to its low-cost ST7Lite family that features up to 24 I/O (input/output) lines. The ST7Lite family is ...

For the lowest power consumption, MCUs are still preferred, and for high performance, MPUs are dominant. But that’s changing.

For many years, the 8-bit microcontroller has been the workhorse of embedded systems. Design teams favor the size and power benefits that a tightly coupled processor, such as the 8051 microcontroller, ...

One of the biggest dreams anyone has is to make a living doing what they love. For all hackers, makers, and DIYers with a passion for embedded systems, it may make sense initially to pursue embedded ...

Geneva – STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, has extended opportunities to design free of charge with its ...
