General-Purpose 32-bit RISC-V MCU Core Expands Design Freedom
By Daryl Khoo - 09 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

The microcontroller sector is evolving in an exciting direction by providing designers with a growing menu of choices tailored to their performance and power requirements. Unlike the classic 1990s debate between the merits of x86 (CISC) and PowerPC (RISC) CPU architectures, there is plenty of room under the MCU tent for competing – and complementary – processor cores. The common denominator... » read more
