It has been a while (my apologies) but a few weeks ago I posted about how you can Magically Reduce Coding Time with PSoC Creator. The thrust of the article was, in these days where no-one has time to read and digest multi-thousand page chip reference…

Time is running out. Don't miss the opportunity to get an EagleSoC development kit featuring a Cortex-M3 PSoC 5LP device.

I posted about this a couple of weeks ago and there is still time to back the kickstarter project. Here are the creators, explaining…

Some friends of ours at EagleSoC just launched a Kickstarter project for their cool PSoC 5LP-based development boards. These boards are a lower cost alternative to the Cypress Development Kits (CY8CKIT-001 and CY8CKIT-050) and provide plenty of functionality…

If you haven’t been in the embedded space long, it’s difficult to appreciate the sector’s technological evolution in recent years. Back in the day, 4-, 8- and 16-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) ruled the roost. Applications and operating system software were…

At the recent Embedded World show in Nuremberg running from 24^th to 26^th Feb 2015 we saw the first MCU offerings from ARM’s silicon partners based on the high performance Cortex-M7, which is the latest member of the ARM Cortex-M processor family.  The…

Although the theme of EW was Internet of Things, there was so much to see at Embedded World (EW).  I was impressed with the breadth of embedded computing technologies.   If you are interested in my morning EW adventures, please check out …

It’s that time of the year again where spring is in full force, the sun is shining, birds are chirping and this year’s college graduates are spreading their wings and sending out resumes.  Despite at least four years of schooling and tens of thousands…

Chinese Version: 选择微控制器的 10 个步骤

Selecting the right microcontroller for a product can be a daunting task. Not only are there a number of technical features to consider, there are also business case issues such as cost and lead-times that can cripple…

In the last few months we have passed an important milestone for DSP and a smaller but for some no less important announcement of tools that can help build DSP systems. In some small way I’ve been involved with both so I’m particularly proud to write…

Really, it is a blast from the past. Soon you can get ARM Cortex-M0 microcontrollers in a DIP28 package, along with SOP20, TSSOP20 and TSSOP28 packages. Recently NXP announced the new additions of the LPC1100 microcontroller family, which will have these…

In the spirit of some of the more well-known ARM-based development boards and their popular communities, I was curious what other innovative ideas are out there being crowdsourced. Just a bit of research quickly revealed eight ARM-based embedded projects…

PSoC 4200L, 4200M, 4200BL and 4200 parts boost the flexibility and performance of the PSoC 4 portfolio, by adding Cypress’s unique Programmable Digital Blocks. Programmable Digital Block are hardware blocks like Universal Digital Blocks, Serial Communication…
