The need for timing in embedded programming often exceeds the small number of available hardware timers in microcontrollers. For example, the Microchip PIC16F84A has one timer, but you can create as ...

Microcontrollers now find use in every walk of life. Their peripherals vary from the general-purpose I/Os to the USB interface, making them versatile for a range of products. Timing is one key part of ...

Microcontrollers and systems on a chip have not had hardware virtualization, and the new MIPS M5150 is the first microcontroller to offer the capability.

Most digital timers require a set of dip switches or rotary BCD encoders to preset their interval. But those techniques consume eight or more inputs from a microcontroller's ...
