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 ...

Gideon Intrater, CTO of Adesto, talks about how to use microcontrollers for applications where more memory is required, such as automotive, communication, and AI at the edge. Options include moving ...

Fig 1. Core memory used to be ubiquitous. Fig 2. Texas Instruments’ 16-bit MSP430FR57xx looks like most microcontrollers except it only has one memory block. Magnetic memory such as core memory used ...

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 humble microcontroller is getting squeezed on all sides. While most of the semiconductor industry has been able to take advantage of Moore’s Law, the MCU market has faltered because flash memory ...

Investopedia contributors come from a range of backgrounds, and over 25 years there have been thousands of expert writers and editors who have contributed. Robert Kelly is managing director of XTS ...

In the vast majority of cases, running a Linux-based operating system involves a pretty powerful processor with a lot of memory on hand, and perhaps most importantly, a memory management unit, or MMU.

Researchers Sean Cross and Dr. Andrew Huang demonstrated yesterday at the Chaos Communication Congress that they could write arbitrary code onto various flash-based SD memory cards. Researchers ...
