Now, in the world of electronics, the term MCU has a very different meaning. It’s an acronym for the microcontroller unit. In an embedded system, the MCU is the core component that makes up the circuit. There is a great deal of knowledge about using an MCU but here is some brief ...
The SoC can store and run system-level code, that is, it can run an operating system (mainly LinuxOS). It can be compared in this way: MCU is only a chip-level chip, while SoC is a system-level chip. It integrates the advantages of MCU and MPU, that is, it has built-in RAM ...
When an MCU is powered off, the program code and data is stored in non-volatile memory. When the MCU starts up, or is reset, the bootloader is used to initialize the system and load program code and other essential data. While there are many specific implementations of bootloaders, they ...
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is the ability of a device or system to operate satisfactorily in its electromagnetic environment without causing intolerable electromagnetic interference to any device in its environment. Therefore, EMC includes two requirements: on the one hand, it means that the ...
A microcontroller is an integrated circuit (IC) which is small, low cost and self contained computer designed to handle a specific task in embedded systems. In simple words, a microcontroller (MCU or Microcontroller Unit) is a small computer integrated in to a single chip. We can also explain...
Approaching the mid-2022 now, China’s IC industry as well as the whole economy is experiencing more shocks. With weak demand for consumer electronics, the chip prices of memory, display panel driver and LED have fallen. However, the demands for industrial control, automotive electronics, and ...
“ecosystem” is the principle of GD32 MCU to serve customers and establish an industry beacon. In addition to the product itself, the expansion of the development ecosystem is also significant. As mentioned above, the influence of market segments is also part of the ecosystem expansion. In ...
What Is an FPV Battery? An FPV battery is a rechargeable power source specifically designed for FPV drones. These batteries are typically made of lithium polymer (LiPo) cells, known for their high energy density and lightweight properties, making them ideal for drones. FPV batteries come in var...
While the name FRAM or ferroelectric RAM seems to indicate that an iron element exists within the memory this is not actually the case.Ferroelectric RAM historyThe development of FRAM dates back to the early days of semiconductor technology. The idea was first proposed in 1952, bu...
Mixed signal oscilloscope, MSO are becoming increasingly popular as the need increases for combining the analogue measurement channels of an oscilloscope with the logic channels of a logic analyzer.When investigating boards with logic elements such as embedded systems using an MCU or MPU, it is ...
