Designers are often faced with a decision on which microcontroller variety to use, and are left to parse out the differences between 8-, 16-, and 32-bit MCUs. 16-bit MCU was previously favored in some ...

… or is the 16-bit microcontroller family dead? Over the years, the lines have blurred between the 8-, 16-, and 32-bit microcontroller families with designers confused to when they should select which ...

Before we dig into core architectures and other technical details, it's important to convey some general guidelines and context. In my college days, I remember taking a test and being so intent on ...

Microcontrollers have come a long way, with 8-bit MCUs demonstrating tremendous resilience and application innovations through advances in memory, power consumption, packaging, and peripherals. 8-bit ...
