Nuvoton Commits to 8-bit MCU Production Sustainability
July 11, 2023 | PRNewswireEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Nuvoton Technology, one of the world's leading suppliers of microcontrollers, has proudly launched its MUG51 8-bit MCU series of low power microcontrollers designed for battery-free devices. Nuvoton is committed to sustainable 8-bit MCU production and product longevity to ensure a reliable supply, giving customers the confidence to commit to long-term products, platforms, and projects.
New MUG51 Series 8-bit Low Power MCU for Battery-free Devices
The low power MUG51 series incorporates an 1T 8051 core microcontroller operating at 7.37 MHz, plus 16 KB Flash APROM and 1 KB SRAM memory within the chip. The MUG51 series supports special design power-on and resume, requiring a start-up current of just 200 ?A after power-on and before Flash memory initialization, while a normal operating mode uses less than 1.3 mA. In sleep-mode, it uses less than 1 ?A.
To meet flexible application design demands that minimize platform size and cost, the MUG51 series provides a rich set of peripherals including GPIO with an internal inverter, 16-bit timers, 12-bit ADC, 16-bit PWM, UART, I2C, SPI, two rail-to-rail comparators (ACMP) for stylus pen pressure measurement, and an ISO 7816-3 Smart Card interface can also configure as UART transmission.
For applications that experience extreme conditions it supports a wide operating voltage range of 1.8-5.5V, and wide operating temperature of - 40°C to 105°C, plus high resistance to electrostatic shock with EFT ±4.4 kV and ESD HBM ±7 kV.

Rules of Thumb for PCB Layout
11/21/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007The dictionary defines a “rule of thumb” as “a broadly accurate guide or principle, based on experience or practice rather than theory.” Rules of thumb are often the foundation of a PCB designer’s thought process when tackling a layout. Ultimately, a product spec or design guideline will provide the detailed design guidance, but rules of thumb can help to provide the general guidance that will help to streamline the layout process and avoid design or manufacturing issues.

Flexible Thinking: Rules of Thumb: A Word to the Wise
11/20/2024 | Joe Fjelstad -- Column: Flexible ThinkingIn the early days of electronics manufacturing—especially with PCBs—there were no rules. Engineers, scientists, and technicians largely felt their way around in the dark, making things up as they went along. There was a great deal of innovation, guessing, and testing to make sure that early guidelines and estimates were correct by testing them. Still, they frequently made mistakes.
