A UNIVERSE EXPLORED

摘要

Even after 37 years of documenting the companies and their processors that target embedded-system applications, the annual EDN Microprocessor/Microcontroller Directory continues to grow. Companies each year continue to launch software-programmable processor architectures in an attempt to enable embedded-system developers to build applications with lower prices and smaller energy budgets yet deliver more features than ever before. Since the 36th edition of the directory, several companies have launched processors that have paved the way to even lower power consumption and prices.
