On the surface, a programmable logic controller (PLC) might seem like nothing more than a generic microcontroller, perhaps outfitted to operate in industrial settings with things like high ...

FPGAs continue to advance, enabling ever more integration of programmable technologies into the heart of embedded systems. Today’s high-performance FPGAs boast hundreds of thousands of programmable ...

Part two explains the workings of the JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) boundary-scan technology. In software development, perhaps the most critical, yet least predictable stage in the process is debugging. Many ...

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are used extensively throughout the world. Over time, they have advanced to become more user-friendly, efficient, smaller, and less expensive. Different types of ...
