This is an article from Microchip on a solution that enables large ecosystem of PIC MCU applications to easily add secure cloud connectivity to next-generation designs.

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.

If you thought it was bad enough checking for spam and malicious emails incoming from terrestrial origins some astrophysicists have been musing on how and why extra-terrestrials may want to infect and bring down your system...

In the age of Internet-of-Things (IoT) and networked systems, more and more new designs rely on microcontrollers. In most applications controllers will take care of communications between the sensors and the network or will control complex systems. One of the first tasks of the hardware designer is to choose a suitable microcontroller for the specific application and evaluate its architecture before work can begin on the rest of the system hardware.

In the last installment we took a look at the multitude of possible protocols. The diagram here shows the different protocol layers. A common feature built into the IoT concept is that a node can communicate with another node using...

If you are wondering where to begin with IoT application development the Creator Ci40 platform by Imagination Technologies offers a comprehensive range of software and sensor options. The system consists of the Creator...

Cypress semiconductor has added two new series to its FM0+ family of flexible microcontrollers based on the ARM Cortex-M0+ core. The new FM0+ S6E1B-Series and S6E1C-Series microcontrollers (MCUs) deliver...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a fast emerging concept in intelligent automation and intelligent monitoring that uses that Internet as the communications medium. The “Things” in IoT typically refers to devices that have unique identifiers and are connected to the Internet to exchange information. For example, a small device the size of a matchbox can be used to collect data about ambient temperature, relative humidity and the atmospheric pressure. This data can then be sent and stored on the cloud and accessed by anyone, anywhere.

Atmel has announced a new series of Atmel | SMART ARM® Cortex®-A5-based microprocessors (MPUs). Firmly targeted at IoT applications they are said to deliver the world’s lowest power consumption for all MPUs in their class...

Atmel has recently announced the addition of the SAM L22 series to its family of secure, ARM® Cortex® M0+-based MCUs. These new devices offer a built-in, ultra-low power capacitive touch interface with a segment LCD controller that can deliver up to 320 segments. Typical applications for these controllers...
