Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of microcontroller, analog and Flash-IP solutions, today announced a 32-bit microcontroller (MCU)-based development kit for the creation of high-quality, 24-bit audio applications. The Audio Development Board for PIC32 MCUs features an 80 MIPS PIC32 MCU, a 24-bit Wolfson…
Microchip has announced 60 MIPS 16-bitdsPIC® Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) and PIC24 microcontrollers (MCUs). Based upon the next-generation dsPIC DSC/PIC24 MCU core, the 60 MIPS dsPIC33 and PIC24 “E”devices offer larger (536 KB) Flash memory, more RAM (52 KB), greater I/O capability with 144-pin packages, a USB 2.0…
Since the invention of integrated circuits by Jack Kilby few decades ago, the number of transistors in a die has continuously doubled every 24 months. This is the famous Moore’s law, which is still relevant today. Sustaining this trend has…
The invention of complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) integrated circuit is a major milestone in the history of modern industry and commerce. It has driven revolutionary changes in computing due to its performance, cost and ease of integration. But as…
Among the different leakage currents in the nanometer CMS, the subthreshold and gate leakage are the most dominant. While the latter is mainly due to electron tunnelling from the gate to the substrate, the former is caused by many other…
