This article presents an introduction of microcontrollers as the first part on the series Embedded Systems Programming. It describes the structure and operation of the microcontroller, and the purpose ...

In our last session we looked at the basic structure and operation of a microcontroller (MCU). Now let’s look at some of the hardware (peripheral circuitry) required to support the microprocessor. In ...

In this article, I'll be explaining the basics of how microcontrollers work, physically and virtually. First off, microcontrollers are no simple thing, so don't be discouraged if you find it ...

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 ...

When designing a system, one of the most important design decisions is choosing what voltage domain(s) to use. Some voltage domains, such as 5 V, are good for noisy and harsh operating environments ...
