MORE ABOUT Microcontrollers

Microcontroller systems running 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, can sometimes (rarely) find themselves in a latch-up state. When this happens nothing works and even a reset may not be enough. In this case only a power cycle will do the trick...

This free application note from National Instruments covers recommended best practices for powertrain HIL testing. In this guide, learn about the tools and insight you need to build an effective HIL tester that will ensure you can achieve maximum test coverage and future proof your system against future technology requirements.

Microchip announces, via its Microsemi subsidiary, the production release of a family of SiC power devices that offer proven ruggedness and the performance benefits of wide-bandgap technology.

Microchip announces the space industry’s first Arm®-based microcontrollers (MCUs) that combine the low-cost and large ecosystem benefits of Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) technology with space-qualified versions that have scalable levels of radiation performance.

Microchip announces new dual- and single-core dsPIC33C Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) with more options to meet changing application requirements across memory, temperature and functional safety. These options will help system developers to design high-end embedded control applications which need flexible options to provide scalability as projects increase in complexity.​

Mouser Electronics, Inc., the industry's leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, is now shipping the ADuCM4050 microcontroller from Analog Devices.

Much like they say about spiders, you’re likely always within 6‘ of a microcontroller. That’s because millions of microcontrollers are deployed throughout the Internet of Things. Regrettably, few nonengineers know much about these remarkable, ubiquitous devices. Here are a few key facts about microcontrollers that everyone should know.
