Another technique common to both embeddedprocessor performance optimization and embedded processor poweroptimization is software pipelining. Software pipelining is a techniquewhere the programmer ...

With data-transfer rates as high as 480 Mbps, USB 2.0 offers embedded-system designers a full spectrum of connectivity through a single connector. The USB On-The-Go supplement reduces bus-power ...

The next area of information to extract from the requirements document relates to communication pathways, both within the system and between the system and any external systems—specifically, ...

The trend toward multi-core devices is well underway in PCs, but in embedded systems, there's more focus on augmenting single-core devices with an array of peripherals. As geometries shrink, the cost ...

Direct memory access (DMA) is a means of having a peripheral device control a processor’s memory bus directly. DMA permits the peripheral, such as a UART, to transfer data directly to or from memory ...

Information about the SiBRAIN standard "Plug & play" embedded systems development Thoughts on electronic design from the MikroE perspective Being an embedded electronic systems designer was never an ...

For many years, the 8-bit microcontroller has been the workhorse of embedded systems. Design teams favor the size and power benefits that a tightly coupled processor, such as the 8051 microcontroller, ...

You might argue that the interface and abstraction will cost too much. That’s a misconception. An extra function call won't ...

It’s often tempting to make one processor handle the entire system load. But sometimes adding a second processor is the best option. DESIGN VIEW is the summary of the complete DESIGN SOLUTION ...
