This can be anything from a microcontroller and various controller ICs to a sprinkling of MOSFETs, opamps, and possibly some 7400- or 4000-series logic ICs to tie things together.

SAN FRANCISCO — Memory errors may cause some of the most serious reliability concerns for microprocessor designers, but Fujitsu Ltd. thinks it's time to pay closer attention to the logic as well. The ...

A microcontroller is a compact integrated circuit designed to execute operations, similar to a microprocessor, and typically found in embedded systems. You can imagine these devices are sprinkled all ...

Researchers in the US are the first to make tiny electromechanical logic circuits that operate at temperatures as high as 500 °C. The circuits contain two switches made from silicon carbide and ...

Figure 2 shows a circuit for interfacing 12 switches using only four microcontroller IO pins. To read switches S1-S3, Pin1 is set to logic 0, and Pin2, Pin3, and Pin4 are set to input mode.

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 ...

In that case, they built a three-input majority logic gate using 16 coupled nanomagnets. Lambson calculated that a computation with such a circuit would also dissipate energy at the Landauer limit.

The first fully functional microprocessor logic devices based on few-atom-thick layered materials have been demonstrated by researchers from the Graphene Flagship, working at TU Vienna in Austria ...

Express Logic has announced that its royalty-free real-time operating systems (RTOS) and USBX USB Host/Device stack now support Luminary Micro’s Stellaris LM3S3000 series and LM3S5000 series ARM ...
