To produce trains of pulses suitable for keying transmitters, testing circuits, and debugging data links, designers requiring continuous or event-driven pulse sequences have traditionally relied on ...

A group of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) claims to have developed the first fully-programmable 16-bit microprocessor made entirely of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The ...

Microprocessor and programmable logic design are converging, though they still require a common language. After one of my engineers told me that she had found a typo in her hardware, I thought just ...

Now is the time to invest in programmable logic devices (PLDs), and there’s no better way to do that than through Altera and Xilinx. Here are six reasons why. Logic is used to manage the interchange ...

APEX-Optimized 32-bit Configurable Processor for Altera's Megafunction Partner Program (AMPP SM) High Performance MPU for Embedded Systems Web-based Xtensa Generator will Provide MPU Features ...

A microprocessor is a complex, programmable integrated circuit (IC) on a single chip that can execute instructions. This generally includes CPUs found in computers but also refers to the ...

It's no longer necessary to keep a microprocessor in continuous operation just to blink an LED, thanks to the FAN5646, a programmable LED blinker. With the company's TinyWire single-wire digital ...
