The type of memory a designer selects for an embedded project drives overall system operation and performance, so obviously this is a very important decision. Whether the system runs on batteries or ...

Microcontrollers are divided into categories according to their memory, architecture, bits and instruction sets. Generally we use 8051 Microcontroller, PIC Microcontroller, AVR Microcontroller, AMR ...

Selecting the right amount of flash memory for an embedded application can be challenging. You want to make sure that you have enough memory to protect for future features, firmware updates, and more.

Last month we wrote about the different components that form contactless smart card chips and we followed the manufacturing process from silicon to finished card. This month we’ll take a more in-depth ...

As the world demands faster and better performance in every application, new memory technology is needed. Texas Instruments’ Ultra-Low-Power MSP430FRxx family of MCUs is the answer to that demand.

The next-generation memory market for embedded applications is becoming more crowded as another technology emerges in the arena—embedded phase-change memory. Phase-change memory is not new and has ...
