ITRS roadmap 2011 also reports that numbers of asynchronous blocks are going to be more compared to that of synchronous blocks in any complicated SoC. In this paper 8 bit pipelined asynchronous ...

My manager studied electrical engineering in Columbia in the early 90’s, and every student had to build an 8-bit TTL CPU. I wish modern American universities provided that depth in their curriculum.

Kyle Hovey has decided to build his own 8-bit CPU from scratch, out of breadboard, ... The last step, according to Hovey's blog, is to design a steampunk-style case for his 8-bit computer.

With chip companies packing more peripherals and functionality into 8- and 16-bit processors, it's almost impossible to keep track of what's out there. But don't worry; we got someone to do the work ...

[Ben Eater] posted some videos of an 8-bit computer with no CPU chip that he built completely on a breadboard a few years ago. After being asked for schematics, he finally admitted that he didn&#82… ...

Upgrading from an 8-bit to a 32-bit microcontroller (MCU) typically requires substantial software changes, even when a high-level language like C is employed, because the peripheral architectures ...

Designed in the 1970s by electrical engineer Chuck Peddle and his team for MOS Technology, the 8-bit MOS 6502 ran at 1-2 MHz and packed 3,510 transistors. As the most affordable chip of its kind ...

As more of its customers seek performance headroom, Freescale Semiconductor Inc. plans to offer compatible versions of its high-end 8-bit and 32-bit processors, including software development ...

Chip designing is a slow and expensive process but a team in China is using AI to do it much quicker. What does this mean for ...

Details for Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor have apparently leaked online.; The new chipset will reportedly offer a 1+3+2+2 CPU design. Qualcomm’s chipset will purportedly be a 64-bit ...
