Multi-output MEMS clock generator billed as industry’s smallest
As consumer demand for compact Internet of Things (IoT) and portable electronics devices accelerates, product designers need to find solutions that reduce application size while extending battery life. Timing devices are central to the operation of these products, but clock sources traditionally require multiple components to meet the frequency requirements of consumer devices, thus consuming […]
Development board adds Google Cloud to embedded applications
Creating cloud-connected applications traditionally can require significant time and resources for embedded designers to develop the necessary expertise in communications protocols, security and hardware compatibility. Developers often overcome these challenges with large software frameworks and Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS), which results in increased development time, effort, cost and security vulnerabilities. Microchip Technology Inc. today announced a […]
PIC IDEs now support AVR MCUs
Designers who have traditionally used Microchip’s PIC microcontrollers (MCUs) and developed with the MPLAB ecosystem can now easily evaluate and incorporate AVR MCUs into their applications. The majority of AVR MCUs are now beta supported with the release of MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) version 5.05, available today from Microchip Technology Inc. Support for additional […]
Single-core digital signal controller accelerates DSP performance for time-critical control
System designers looking for digital signal processing power with the design simplicity of a microcontroller can now utilize a new family of 16-bit Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) from Microchip Technology Inc. Designed to deliver faster deterministic performance in time-critical control applications, the new dsPIC33CK DSCs have expanded context selected registers to reduce interrupt latency and new, faster […]
