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 ...

[Morten] works very fast. He has already designed, fabbed, populated, and tested a breakout board for the new tiniest microcontroller on the market, and he’s even made a video about it, embedded below ...

We used to need SBCs for these projects; modern microcontrollers handle them more easily and inexpensively while being easier ...

Renesas Technology America, Inc. has announced the H8S/Tiny series, a new group in the popular H8S series of high-performance 16-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) for low-cost embedded system designs. There ...

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 ...

In an effort to bring added flexibility and functionality to an ever-expanding array of products, engineers are incorporating processors in a long list of small, low-cost applications, including ...
