The venerable 8-bit microcontroller just keeps chugging along. Despite the performance advantages of its 16- and 32-bit siblings, 8-bit micros still accounted for a substantial percentage of the ...

NEC Electronics announced the Kx1+ Series , the newest 8-bit member of the K_Line microcontroller (MCU) family. The 78K0/Kx1+ Series represents the first 8-bit MCUs offered by NEC Electronics to ...

An in-system programming (ISP) capability highlights the new VRS1000-40 8-bit 8051-based microcontroller. Thanks to its hardware features and powerful instruction set, the VRS1000 ...

[Craig] sent in a link to this project which manages to implement color tracking on an 8-bit microcontroller at 60 frames per second. That’s some pretty incredible performance, but we’r… ...

The 8-bit microcontroller celebrated its 44th birthday this year, but even though its making its way into many new applications, some very common myths surround the elder statesman of the embedded ...

IXYS’ wholly-owned subsidiary, Zilog, Inc., will offer the 4- and 8-bit microcontrollers acquired from Samsung, as well as its current expansive MCU product offerings.

The 100-pin versions include 4 UART channels, 16 Analog-to-Digital Converter channels and 16 Pulse Width Modulation channels, while the 64-pin devices integrate 2 UART channels, 8 Analog-to-Digital ...

This time, he’s topped himself. There isn’t much the ESP 8-bit won’t do. It can emulate three popular consoles, complete with ROM selection menus (with menu bloops).

When students at Cornell University wanted to play Human Tetris (and ace a final project to boot), they taught a 20Mhz, 8-bit microcontroller how to follow their moves.

The long-awaited Arduino Due just hit the market, replacing the 8-bit, 16 MHz brain of the popular Uno microcontroller prototyping platform with a 32-bit, 84 MHz processor, while augmenting inputs ...
