Energy Micro, a company specializing in microcontrollers and low-power radios, has begun shipping its newest and most advanced microcontroller to date, the EFM32 Wonder Gecko, with devices and development kits available immediately.
Microcontrollers are used in many systems to control multiple DC/DC converters at the point-of-load (POL), thus forming a hybrid control system to manage system behavior during startup, monitor electrical parameters, and manage the power consumption of peripheral subsystems. However, more sophisticated solutions can be found on computer motherboards, graphics cards, or CPU blades in servers, where voltage regulator modules (VRMs) communicate directly with their load and adjust supply voltages and/or even adapt their control characteristics based on temporary operating conditions. This type of "intelligent" power conversion management and control offers significant advantages in terms of overall system efficiency, performance, and reliability. These are, in other words, the most important aspects in the industrial, medical, automotive, and consumer markets.
Microchip announces two new 8-bit PIC® microcontrollers, the PIC16F527 and PIC16F570, which combine the easy handling of a PIC microcontroller and low-cost analog peripherals to create a well-integrated, economical family suitable for a wide variety of applications.
Microchip announces a new addition to its 16-bit PIC® microcontroller lineup with the low-cost PIC24F “KM” family. This family offers up to 16 KB of Flash, 2 KB of RAM, and 512 bytes of EEPROM, as well as advanced analog integration, all within a reduced pin count for cost-sensitive applications in automotive, consumer, medical, and industrial settings.
A new type of 32-bit device aims to capture the substantial market share traditionally held by 16-bit devices, offering new possibilities for the Internet of Things and enabling smarter, more energy-efficient systems.
