Microchip announced the 8-bit PIC18F87J72 microcontroller (MCU) family optimised for single-phase, multi-function smart-metering and energy-monitoring applications. Featuring a dual-channel, high-performance 16-/24-bit Analogue Front End (AFE), the new MCUs provide an accurate, reliable, easy-to-use and cost-effective solution for developing meters that exceed International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) class 0.5 performance.

Microchip announces two new high-density 8-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) which combine XLP technology for eXtreme Low Power consumption with 128 KB Flash programme memory and 4KB RAM, providing designers with space to implement application-specific code.

Renesas today announced the M306S0F8DGP, the newest product in its M16C/6S series of microcontrollers (MCUs). The new MCU includes integrated modems to enable low data rate communication using existing power lines. It is a competitively-priced device with 64 kilobytes (KB) flash memory and a robust powerline communication modem. It is designed to cope with significant noise, distortion and other powerline phenomena and is suitable for street lig...

Avalue Technology, an Affiliate member of the Intel® Embedded Alliance, a community of embedded developers and solution providers, is releasing a new 3.5-inch single board computer, the ECM-QB, which is powered by the Intel® Atom™ processor E620/640/660/680 series.

Driving smaller, lower cost products that run from a single-cell battery, Texas Instruments today announced the industry’s first true 0.9-V microcontroller (MCU) as the newest addition to the ultra-low-power MSP430™ MCU portfolio. Unlike existing MCUs that claim 0.9-V technology, TI’s MSP430L092 MCU inherently operates at 0.9-V, including the entire analog and digital logic. Because it operates at 0.9-V, the MSP430 MCU does not ...

Freescale Semiconductor today announced the MPC564xA microcontroller (MCU), the newest addition to its embedded 32-bit MCU portfolio that is ideal for automotive powertrain and transmission applications. This 32-bit dual issue core MCU built on Power Architecture® technology is designed to deliver the performance and precision needed for the rugged environments of engine management and transmission control.

Renesas announced the availability of two new 32-bit All Flash™ microcontrollers (MCUs), with processing performance of 1024 Dhrystone MIPS (million instructions per second, Note 1) at a clock speed of 200 megahertz (MHz), the world’s highest among the existing 32-bit dual-core MCUs with embedded flash memory. The new MCUs have two built-in CPU core, 64 kilobytes (KB) of random access memory (RAM) available for each core, 2 megabytes (MB) of...

Following the success of the NuMicro family, Nuvoton Technology today launched the NuMicro M051™ series - M052/54/58/516, its newest addition tothe NuMicrofamily. The NuMicro M051 is powered by the ARM® Cortex™-M0 processor - the smallest, lowest power and most energy-efficient ARM processor available today. As the newest member of the highly successful and powerful NuMicro family, the NuMicro M051 series delivers the same wide operating vol...

Energy Micro, the energy efficient microcontroller company, has introduced a free software tool designed to remove the traditionally time-consuming problem of debugging I/O pin conflicts. Supporting the complete EFM32 Gecko low power MCU family, energyAware Designer ensures correct pin configuration and automatically generates set-up code and documentation.

Artila Electronics Co., Ltd., an emerging force in embedded networking and computing, announced their PAC-5070, an ARM9-based single board computer with advanced data acquisition capability. The PAC-5070 integrates low power ARM9 SoC, isolated digital and analog I/O, 64MB SDRAM and 16MB flash memory with pre-installed Linux OS into a compact and DIN RAIL mountable module.
