Overview:The I2C communication interface is one of the most commonly used MCU peripherals in our daily applications. Initially, before MCUs had hardware I2C, I2C communication was accomplished by simulating I2C timing through GPIO ports. Later, as MCUs began to include I2C peripheral interfaces, the use of hardware I2C became commonplace. More importantly, this not only … Read more
Follow our official account, click the top right corner of the homepage, set a star mark, and stay updated on the latest news in automotive semiconductors. The Essence of MCUs The biggest difference between an MCU and a computer CPU (like Intel Core) is that it is a “dedicated computing unit customized for specific tasks.” … Read more
This is hard to say, as there are no organizations that specifically track this. However, the number of MCU positions is increasing because MCUs are becoming more powerful, capable of performing tasks that were previously only possible with Linux, gradually encroaching on Linux’s market. However, MCUs typically have a single core, and running Linux on … Read more
