The use of RFID and contactless smart card technology is exploding and devices (e.g. tags, tokens, cards) all require embedded memory arrays that suit the needs of the application. All of these ...

Last month we wrote about the different components that form contactless smart card chips and we followed the manufacturing process from silicon to finished card. This month we’ll take a more in-depth ...

The type of memory a designer selects for an embedded project drives overall system operation and performance, so obviously this is a very important decision. Whether the system runs on batteries or ...

The PIC16CR73, PIC16CR74, PIC16CR76, and PIC16CR77 (PIC16CR7X) are the first in a Series of general-purpose ROM microcontrollers in the PIC16 and PIC18 families from Microchip. The new ...
