The microprocessor is a small computer or CPU (central processing unit) used to do arithmetic and logical operation, controlling the system and storing the data etc. the micro processor will process ...

For the lowest power consumption, MCUs are still preferred, and for high performance, MPUs are dominant. But that’s changing.

What are Microprocessors and Microcontrollers? Microprocessors and microcontrollers are essential components of an embedded system. These are single-chip processors that accelerate the computing ...

Integrating processors, sensors, and data exchange functionality into everyday objects, the Internet of Things (IoT) pushes computing capabilities far beyond desktops and servers. On December 5, ...

Embedded microcontrollers are the original SoC devices. In the last few years FPGA and PLD manufacturers have proffered the term "System- on- a Programmable Chip" (SOPC) which captures the idea of ...

Fig 1. Intel’s E600C blends an Intel Atom processor with an Altera FPGA on a multi-chip package linking the two using PCI Express links. Fig 2. Xilinx’s Zynq-7000 EPP puts a full dual-core Cortex-A9 ...

The Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium (EEMBC) has developed a suite of benchmarks tailored for 8 and 16bit embedded microcontrollers. Until now the EEMBC benchmarking standards were best ...

Today, SiFive has released two new cores designed for the lower end of computing. This adds to the company’s existing portfolio of microcontrollers and SoCs based on the Open RISC-V ISA. Over the last ...
