Microchip Technology has announced a 32bit 200MHz version of its dsPIC33 series of DSP-heavy MCUs. dsPIC33A, as the family will be called, is aimed at fast closed-loop control of PSUs and motors. As with earlier dsPIC processors, the parts remain a combination of CPU and maths accelerator (‘DSP engine’), rather than a pure DSP architecture. In this fifth generation, the ...
Resasas has put its in-house developed 32bit RISC-V core into a few-pin general-purpose MCU series, following earlier RISC-V projects with Anders and SiFive. Announced last November, the core implementation can accommodate various standard RISC-V options, to which Renesas has added its own options including: a stack monitor register to protect against rogue software, a dynamic branch prediction unit improve the ...
STMicroelectronics has introduced its “most affordable STM32” 32bit processor family, and it is covered by the company’s 10-year longevity programme. Called STM32C0, processing is through a 48MHz Cortex-M0+ and the series’ peripherals include a 1.7Msample/s ADC with hardware for 16bit over-sampling, and timers for motor control. Up to 32kbyte flash and 12kbyte ram is available. They deliver 44DMIPS instruction throughput ...
Microchip has added a set of small footprint large flash MCUs to its 32bit MIPS M4K-based PIC32 MX1/2 MCU family. Called the PIC32MX230F256 series, it comes in 28 and 44 pin packages, clocks at 50MHz (83 DMIPS) and has 256kbyte flash and 16kbyte ram. There is also Microchip’s 8bit Parallel Master Port (PMP) for graphics or external memory, a 10bit, ...
I just want to put this information somewhere on the web so that people trying to do the same thing have access it, via Mr Google of course. The quick version is: a Dell Inspiron 530 will happily run Windows 7 – 32bit or 64bit – as Win7 has all the appropriate drivers even if Dell hasn’t. And some Dell ...
Texas Instruments has added a number of MSP430 microcontrollers, designated MSP430G2xx2 which include integrated capacitive touch I/O.
ARM is entering the digital signal controller market with the Cortex-M4, a 32-bit core with built-in integer DSP, and an optional floating point unit. The processor is aimed at applications in audio, motor control, industrial automation and automotive.
Geir Førre, CEO of Energy Micro, talks to Electronics Weekly about the needs of the 32-bit MCU market, the need for strong software support in the CU market, and why the company chose the Cortex-M3 core...
Cypress Semiconductor has announced the enCoRe V full-speed USB peripheral microcontrollers and enCoRe V LV (Low Voltage) wireless MCUs
The latest addition to Toshiba’s family of ARM-based microcontrollers is a device with specific man-machine interface (MMI) functionality.
