To simplify integration, many of the early embedded NAND solutions used single-level cell (SLC) NAND, which stores one bit per cell, with a host microprocessor that included a NAND interface. The ...

In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access and ...

Back when I was deep into building embedded control systems (and snow was always 20 feet deep and going to and from school was up hill both ways), the use of dynamic memory allocation was forbidden.

For the PDF version of this article, click here. Depending on the vehicle application, embedded systems typically use 8-bit, 16-bit and even 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs). With their low cost and ...

Consider a smart home display that uses Wi-Fi, Bluetooth mesh and local voice recognition. The embedded processor manages the wireless protocols, runs the voice model and powers the user interface.

AMD brought its highly respected EPYC server processors into the embedded market a few years ago. After the acquisition of Xilinx, AMD’s push in the embedded market has become even broader, with a ...

Advanced Micro Devices announced the expansion of its x86 embedded processor portfolio with the introduction of 5th Gen AMD Epyc Embedded processors. AMD Epyc Embedded 9005 Series CPUs are optimized ...

“Built on the “Zen 4″ 5 nm core, the processors combine speed and performance while helping reduce both overall system energy costs and TCO. The series is comprised of 10 processor models with ...

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 ...
