Tracks: Sensors & Embedded Systems Design

Speaker(s): Jonathan Dillon, Senior Field Application Engineer, Microchip Technology, Inc.

Designers are being pushed into 32-bit MCUs, often not for processing power, but for sensor-conversion overhead. If dedicated conversion hardware existed, these designs could use simpler, more cost effective 8-bit MCUs. This session discusses how to combine the new core-independent peripherals inside modern 8-bit MCUs to create dedicated sensor-conversion hardware. ATTENDEE BENEFITS & TAKEAWAYS: - Learn about new building-block MCU peripherals that can be combined to create a wide variety of application functions with a minimum of software overhead
