Joining the vendor’s 32-pin picoPower AVR microcontroller family, the ATmega48P, ATmega88P, ATmega168P, and ATmega328P devices have 4, 8, 16, and 32 kbytes of flash memory, respectively, providing a ...

The venerable 8-bit microcontroller just keeps chugging along. Despite the performance advantages of its 16- and 32-bit siblings, 8-bit micros still accounted for a substantial percentage of the ...

Every year there is a stampede in the popular industry press to predict that this will be the year that 8-bit microcontroller sales will finally stop growing. Recently, the wide availability of ...

Eight-bit microcontrollers-called that because they operate on data eight bits at a time-continue to dominate the microcontroller market, although 32-bit controllers are showing faster market growth.
