Microcontrollers Overview In this chapter, you will learn about microcontrollers, their types, and applications. This chapter also highlights some key differences between microcontroller and microprocessor. 8051 Microcontroller Architecture This chapter briefly discusses the architecture of the 8051 microcontroller...
and some are a lot easier than others. Also, there is a wide range of capabilities to choose from. The average selling price of a microcontroller in large quantities is around 70 to 80 cents so this large volume includes some fairly simple low-cost controllers...
Timers on the SmartFusion System timer “The System Timer consists of two programmable 32-bit decrementing counters that generate interrupts to the ARM® Cortex™-M3 and FPGA fabric. Each counter has two possible modes of operation: Periodic mode or One-Shot mode. The two timers can be conc...
Hence, it enables a faster communication in the microprocessor and microcontroller systems.In modern microprocessor-based systems, parallel communication interface is used as a bridge between the microprocessor and peripheral or memory devices. It ensures data exchange among different devices with minimal ...
