Motorola to push 8-bit with DSPGale Morrison Motorola is looking to hold on to its slim lead in the industry’s bedrock 8- and 16-bit microcontroller segment by turning up the heat with more embedded ...

The accumulator-based 68HC08 provides a code-compatible performance extension to the 68HC05 along with 78 new instructions. Although the CPU has only an 8-bit accumulator, the index register, stack ...

Microchip Technology, a fast-growing Chandler-based semiconductor company, has passed Motorola to become the world’s largest supplier of 8-bit microcontrollers, a key device used in many household ...

Activity is heating up in 8- and 16-bit, and 16- and 32-bit deeply embedded microcontrollers. Even as market attention fixates on 32-bit embedded RISC and DSP in everything from set-top boxes and cell ...

The venerable Motorola 68000 architecture takes a leap ahead with a unique real-time microcontroller architecture from Innovasic Semiconductor. Looking for a deterministic microcontroller that can be ...

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.

Flash memory-based microcontrollers have changed the landscape for embedded applications. Programming speeds and access times have improved. Flash reliability is no longer a concern in all but the ...
