Pin-Compatible 8/32-Bit MCUs: A drop-in. painless upgrade for 8-bit MCUs direct to 32 bits? It may no longer be a dream

摘要

More microcontrollers are sold every year than there are people on the earth. Most of the world-from your toaster and coffee maker to your gaiage door opener-is run by 8-bit MCUs. High-end applications-from the car you drove out of the garage to your set-top box when you get back-are run by much more powerful 32-bit devices.
