IBASE Technology Inc., a leading manufacturer of embedded computing solutions, introduces the IB996 Full-Size CPU Card, tailored to meet the demanding needs of industrial and embedded computing. Supporting 14th, 13th, and 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i9/i7/i5/i3 desktop processors,...

Jürgen Mülle has posted details of re-implementing the 65C02 in an FPGA, in a pin-compatible format that enables you to upgrade old computers and games to a 100 MHz clock rate! Speaking about the project, Jürgen says: "The idea of implementing a CPU core inside an FPGA is not new,...

In 2021, Imagination Technologies revealed that it was developing multiple processors based on Catapult's open RISC-V architecture. IMG RTXM-2200, a 32-bit RISC-V real-time embedded CPU core, is the first addition to the Catapult family introduced by the firm. The latest news found the...

ARM has developed the first full 32bit microcontroller built on a flexible plastic material using a 0.8 μm process from PragmatIC. The PlasticARM microcontroller consists of 56,340 NMOS transistors and resistors and is built on a plastic substrate developed by UK foundry PragmatIC...

NXP Semiconductors has announced the industry’s first crossover MCU, i.MX RT1170 28nm fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) microcontroller unit (MCU), which is a power-efficient design with real-time functionality, and MCU usability at an affordable price. It clocks its...

In this modern era, the electronics industry is incomplete without microprocessors. From daily household appliances to space exploration - microprocessors are accompanying us everywhere and making lives way easier. But, independently designing and manufacturing a processor is an...

by Thomas Scherer @ elektormagazine.com The impressively powerful i9-7980XE CPU from Intel boasts not just 18 cores and 36 threads but also an unlocked clock multiplier. The spec was clearly an open invitation to Roman Hartung who has something of a reputation when it comes to...

MCUs are called microcontrollers because they embed a CPU, memory and I/O units in one package. Apparently, today's MCUs are full of peripherals and in most cases they are not used in the application, and from an engineering point of view this is a waste of money and energy, but on the...
