Microcontrollers

It’s already been around 18 months since we last looked at the state of affairs in the microcontroller world (February 1999). Time doesn’t stand still, especially in this area, so we thought it was again time to make an up-to-date ‘family photo’.What we want to do here is to peek into the kitchens of the most important manufacturers, in order to see if they have anything new. We conclude the article with some general observations regarding the most important developments, since these naturally have an effect on the course of hobby electronics.
