‘Microcontroller’
An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release
Microcontroller enables precise zoned cooling from
Maxim Integrated Products, which we summarised at the time by saying "Maxim Integrated Products has introduced a system management microcontroller that enables designers to customise algorithms for precise zoned cooling in complex systems such as servers.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Development tool for industrial control devices from
Mikroelektronika: "Mikroelektronika has launched the AVRPLC16 v6 PLC system, an AVR development tool intended for developing and designing industrial, home or office control devices using the Atmel AVR microcontroller.".
In August 2010, we covered the news from Nordic Semiconductor
- take a look at Swiftpoint mouse uses Nordic transceiver
which says: "Nordic Semiconductor has announced that the Swiftpoint wireless mouse employs the company's nRF24LE1 2.4GHz transceiver.".
Take a look also at the news release from Austriamicrosystems, Transceiver for short-range sensor networks,
as well as MCUs support Microsoft.NET Micro Framework 4.1 from Renesas Technology,
and Function image supports NXDN-compatible equipment from CML Microcircuits.
