Traditionally programmers and organizations have had an irrational fear of using interrupts. One might think that statement is facetious but on more than one occasion in the last year the author has ...

This paper will discuss design practices and guidelines that will maximize the efficiency of interrupts and interrupt handling in an embedded system IC. These practices can result in a smaller code ...

On the lower end of the performance spectrum, many widely available and inexpensive microcontrollers pay for their small pc-board footprints by omitting functions. For example, most low-end processors ...

What’s the biggest difference between writing code for your big computer and a microcontroller? OK, the memory and limited resources, sure. But we were thinking more about the need to directly ...
