One way that silicon suppliers reduce manufacturing costs is by discontinuing older product portfolios leading to microprocessor obsolescence. Multiple versions of those processor cores and a mix of ...

FPGAs are looking superficially more and more like ASSPs and microcontrollers and are actually enhancing their ability to allow system developers to differentiate in hardware. For system designers, ...

Inside any electronic device, from an old television remote to a global positioning system, there will be at least one microcontroller unit (MCU) and, in many cases, several. MCUs are used in ...

FPGA designers are embedding soft microprocessors in an increasing number of designs. As a result, FPGA vendors and third-party Intellectual Property (IP) vendors have developed a number of soft ...
