Arithmetic logic unit (ALU), which performs computation. Registers needed for the basic operation of the CPU, such as the program counter (PC), stack pointer (SP), and status register (SR). Further ...

As computer systems become more and more ubiquitous in everyday items, the workings of those items will require some sort of digital controlling. Controllers that once handled large mechanical systems ...

The automotive electronics industry continues to expand its use of 8-bit and 16-bit microcontrollers (MCUs). With the MCU being the cornerstone of electronic control modules (ECMs), from safety ...

An embedded system is a microprocessor based hardware system integrated with software, designed to handle a particular function or entire system functionalities. With the rapid growth in terms of ...

Heterogeneous multiprocessor (HMP) systems, using functionally asymmetric compute elements, such as application processors and microcontrollers integrated within the same SoCs, are now used ...

The C/C++ programming languages have long dominated the embedded systems industry, with very few other languages being able to find a foothold. While languages such as Java and Ada have certainly ...

One of the biggest bottlenecks in the software development process for electronic products is that hardware is not available until late in the cycle. That means embedded software developers need to ...
