The nucleus of the ST9 comprises a core that includes the CPU, the register file, interrupt and DMA controllers, and the memory-management unit (MMU). The MMU lets you address as much as 4 Mbytes of ...

Like just about everyone we know, [Luis] decided a gigantic RGB LED matrix would be a cool thing to build. Gigantic LED matrices are very hard to build, though: not only do you have to deal with large ...

Applications for the R4xxx µPs range from games to laser printers to workstations. Most R4xxx processors implement the MIPS III-architecture instruction set, which provides 64-bit integer registers, ...

While regular Hackaday readers already know how to blink a LED with a microcontroller and have moved onto slightly more challenging projects such as solving the Navier-Stokes equations in 6502 ...

Characteristics and contrasts with microprocessors. Hints on selecting and deploying microcontrollers. What might be on the horizon for microcontrollers, especially the competition between Von Neumann ...

This article presents the aspects of building USB3.0 application using low performance 8-bit microcontroller taking an 8051 derivative as an example. First it gives a technical overview of the USB ...

Embedded microcontrollers are the original SoC devices. In the last few years FPGA and PLD manufacturers have proffered the term "System- on- a Programmable Chip" (SOPC) which captures the idea of ...
