Another unusual webinar on the modern microcontroller market. This webinar focuses on the 8- and 16-bit marketplaces and why they will live forever. Yes, the (gasp!) 8051 is discussed, and the COP8, who many will say was the first Flash microcontroller, is briefly mentioned.
Part 3 will cover 32-bit and it's playful relationship to it's siblings with the smaller architectures.
- Microchip sells the 8051 microcontroller. What? Yes, I'm serious, Microchip sells 8051 microcontrollers. What? Stop it, stop laughing, I'm serious. No, this is not a trick. What?
- The new Atmel XMEGA B1 microcontrollers have that supports high-precision analog and a low-power LCD with character mapping. Go ahead, be a character
- New PIC Microcontrollers have a Configurable Logic Cell. Configure your PIC so peripherals can talk and interact with each other. Social media for peripherals?
- Today, Microchip shipped their 10 Billionth Microchip PIC microcontroller. Microchip shipped one billion microcontrollers in just the past year, a testament to the longevity of the eternal 8-bit.
- Startup XMOS, manufacturer of uber-advanced processor architectures, has signed with distributor Future Electronics. It's not often a startup signs with a major disty, is it? Here's to a bright future!
