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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
