While microcontroller specs may be the first thing engineers look at when deciding on a device for their system, the ecosystem that surrounds the microcontroller is certainly very important, and ...

Microcontrollers existed before the Arduino, and a device that anyone could program and blink an LED existed before the first Maker Faire. This might come as a surprise to some, but for others PICs ...

This paper describes the design and implementation of a version of the 8051 microcontroller, one of the most commercially used microcontrollers in FPGA with reconfigurable instruction set.

Microchip Technology has introduced the MPLAB PICkit Basic, an affordable and versatile in-circuit debugger designed to simplify programming and debugging for engineers, hobbyists, and students. The ...
