GOEPEL has developed a dedicated model library for the Infineon processor family, XC16x that supports the innovative emulation technology VarioTAP. The libraries, described as VarioTAP models, are structured modularly as intelligent IP and enable a complete fusion of Boundary Scan test and JTAG emulation. By employing this technology, embedded and external flash can be in-system programmed with the help of the processor function. Furthermore, Var...

Keil has announced immediate support for the STMicroelectronics STM32 Connectivity Line in the Keil MDK-ARM (Microcontroller Development Kit) and RL-ARM (Real-Time Library). Keil has also introduced the new MCBSTM32C evaluation board and starter kit.

Keil has released the MCB1760 evaluation board and starter kit to support the NXP LPC1700 Cortex-M3 processor-based family. The MCB1760 evaluation board features a LPC1768 microcontroller running at up to 100MHz, together with a color QVGA LCD, Ethernet, USB, CAN, SD/MMC card interface, and UARTs.

NEC Electronics today announced the availability of 15 new 32-bit All Flash V850 microcontrollers for inverter control and motor control applications such as air conditioners, washing machines, dryers, factory automation (FA) equipment, and photovoltaic power systems.
