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 ...

Three common applications where a new class of 8-bit MCUs with advanced analog filtering capabilities support modern systems. As embedded designs have evolved, the 8-bit MCU has evolved from simple ...

Just five years ago, debating the merits of a 6-core CPU versus an 8-core model wasn’t possible. We were all stuck with 4-core chips at a consumer level—to break past that barrier, you had to pay ...

A timer is a simple counter! The input clock of microcontroller and operation of the timer is independent of the program execution.All the Atmel microcontrollers have Timers as an inbuilt peripheral.
