While DSPs are the primary controllers in uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) with power-factor correction (PFC), ac generation and battery management, microcontrollers serve secondary functions for ...

To meet the demands of modern motor-control applications, which are being driven by the increased need for more energy-efficient appliances, engineers are looking for ways to better control motor ...

Eight-bit microcontrollers-called that because they operate on data eight bits at a time-continue to dominate the microcontroller market, although 32-bit controllers are showing faster market growth.

Characteristics and contrasts with microprocessors. Hints on selecting and deploying microcontrollers. What might be on the horizon for microcontrollers, especially the competition between Von Neumann ...
