How to Select the Right Microcontroller for Your Application: New Future Electronics Video
Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components, has produced a new video on how to select the right microcontroller for your application.
A microcontroller is a self-contained system with peripherals, memory and a processor that can be used as an embedded system. Most programmable microcontrollers that are used today are embedded in other consumer products or machinery including phones, peripherals, automobiles and household appliances.
By reducing the size and cost compared to a design that uses a separate microprocessor, memory, and input/output devices, microcontrollers( http://www.futureelectronics.com/en/Search.aspx?dsNav=Ny:True,Nea:True,N:750 ) make it economical to digitally control even more devices and processes.
The advantages of microcontrollers are that all MCUs have on-chip resources to achieve a higher level of integration and reliability at a lower cost. Built-in resources increase reliability because they do not require any external circuitry to be working for the resource to function. They are pre-tested by the manufacturer and conserve board space by integrating the circuitry into the MCU.
Microcontrollers have a wide range of applications. They can be used in automatically controlled devices including power tools, toys, implantable medical devices, office machines, engine control systems, appliances, remote controls and other types of embedded systems.
Step-by-step visuals and narration explain the basics of microcontrollers, and then demonstrate the process of finding the right microcontroller product on the company's website in real time, showing how quick and easy it is to navigate the site, filtering by using parameters such as number of bits, Flash size, RAM size, packaging type, supply voltage, speed, manufacturer and more, and find the best parts for any application.
