Direct memory access (DMA) systems in computers are more powerful than you might think, and [Bruce Land] and [Joseph Primmer] have done some clever hacking to take full advantage of this on the PIC32 ...

Like just about everyone we know, [Luis] decided a gigantic RGB LED matrix would be a cool thing to build. Gigantic LED matrices are very hard to build, though: not only do you have to deal with large ...

San Jose, Ca. – Atmel Corp. has begun revamping its 32 bit ARM7TDM-based microcontroller devices with a new peripheral DMA controller (PDC) architecture it believes will significantly improve ...

STMicroelectronics has put plenty of analogue features and DMA (direct memory access) into its latest 8bit 8pin microcontroller. Dubbed STM8L050, alongside two comparators, it has four-channel 12bit ...

Analog 8-bit microcontrollers are common, but their number approaches zero as the sample rate and resolution grow. Silicon Laboratories' C8051F064 sits at the top of the heap with an 8051-based MCU ...
