In this episode of MCU Wars, Ritesh Tyagi and Chris Anderson compare two 32-bit microcontrollers—the RX100 from Renesas, and the STM32 from STMicroelectronics. We chose these two devices because of ...

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.

Texas Instruments (TI) unveiled the MSPM0C1104 at Embedded World 2025 in Nuremberg, Germany. This device is now the world's smallest microcontroller (MCU). Measuring just 1.38mm²—smaller than a black ...

It’s generally pretty easy to spot a microcontroller on a PCB. There are clues aplenty: the more-or-less central location, the nearby crystal oscillator, the maze of supporting passives, and perhaps ...

Starting a new microcontroller project can be pretty daunting. While you have at least a rough idea of where you want to end up, there are so many ways to get there that you can get locked into ...

Driven by the robust domestic market opportunities in China's new energy vehicle sector, Chinese MCU (microcontroller unit) makers are accelerating the development of automotive-grade MCUs. Companies ...
