To simplify integration, many of the early embedded NAND solutions used single-level cell (SLC) NAND, which stores one bit per cell, with a host microprocessor that included a NAND interface. The ...

The growth of embedded processor cores in the programmable-logic world has often been difficult, with different vendors proposing various solutions. Implementing a processor core within a programmable ...

Executing code directly from non-volatile memory, where it is stored, greatly simplifies compute architectures — especially for simple embedded devices like microcontrollers (MCUs). However, the ...

In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access and ...

AMD brought its highly respected EPYC server processors into the embedded market a few years ago. After the acquisition of Xilinx, AMD’s push in the embedded market has become even broader, with a ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. Depending on the vehicle application, embedded systems typically use 8-bit, 16-bit and even 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs). With their low cost and ...

Advanced Micro Devices announced the expansion of its x86 embedded processor portfolio with the introduction of 5th Gen AMD Epyc Embedded processors. AMD Epyc Embedded 9005 Series CPUs are optimized ...

Wide buses, sophisticated pipelines, and large caches help high-end processors handle hundreds of threads. Smaller transistors and larger die sizes are radically changing the way 64-bit processors are ...

Consider a smart home display that uses Wi-Fi, Bluetooth mesh and local voice recognition. The embedded processor manages the wireless protocols, runs the voice model and powers the user interface.

“Built on the “Zen 4″ 5 nm core, the processors combine speed and performance while helping reduce both overall system energy costs and TCO. The series is comprised of 10 processor models with ...
