Because so many microcontrollers now include a floating-point unit (FPU) that performs math operations, engineers can tackle a wider range of applications that rely on precise values for control ...

Is a 64-bit computer in your future? With all of the hype surrounding 64-bit processors, you probably assume that my answer would be an unequivocal “yes-and pretty darn soon, too!” But put aside the ...

Bitwise XOR compares each binary digit of the two inputs. The XOR returns a 1 when only one of the two digits is a 1, otherwise, it returns a zero for that position. Let’s say the coordinates were 3, ...

Before we dig into core architectures and other technical details, it's important to convey some general guidelines and context. In my college days, I remember taking a test and being so intent on ...
