Traditional control-system designs use separate switches to control power and various system functions, but adding a few components to a small, microprocessor-based system can combine a control ...

When the microprocessor and inexpensive ROM memory arrived in the early 1970s, building small, stored-program computing systems became practical. System designers learned that with the rapidly growing ...

As I get more and more used to analog control of power giving way to digital control, I often look for applications where the microprocessor is controlling the entire show. I do this for several ...

Integrating processors, sensors, and data exchange functionality into everyday objects, the Internet of Things (IoT) pushes computing capabilities far beyond desktops and servers. On December 5, ...

RZ/T2M motor control microprocessor units (MPUs) are for applications such as AC servo drives and industrial robots. According to Renesas, the RZ/T2M combines fast and highly precise real-time motor ...

Sensors can measure all manner of physical properties. Whether it's pressure, temperature, humidity, pH, conductivity, or other unknown, there's a sensor out there to measure it. But once the ...
