Hi everyone! Have you heard of the brand new 8-bit computer built from (mostly) off-the-shelf parts called Commander X16 made by a team of people under The 8-Bit Guy (David Murray)? If so what are ...

Pity the poor TTL computer aficionado. It’s an obsession, really — using discrete logic chips to scratch-build a computer that would probably compare unfavorably to an 80s era 8-bit machine in terms ...

Editor's note – Chuck is responding to a question I posedabout 8-bit MCUs in a recentedition of the Focus on MCU newsletter: “What are your thoughts on8-bit versus 16-bit versus 32-bit MCUs?” Why, yes ...

Most broadband solutions use high-end 32-bit processors coupled with large external memories and specialized media-access controllers (MACs), ASICs or FPGAs. There are several reasons that system ...

When the need for speed overcomes you, thoughts generally don’t turn to 8-bit computers. Sure, an 8-bit machine is fun for retro gameplay and reliving the glory days, and there certainly were some old ...

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 ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Wayne Freeman, Campaign Manager, MCU8 Business Unit, Microchip Technology Inc. The venerable 8-bit microcontroller (MCU ...
