Like many pre-21st-century technological artifacts including steam locomotives, audio tapes, and 4-bit microprocessors—16-bit processors have reached the end of their useful life. Steve Leibson, ...

Building a functioning 16-bit processor or CPU inside Microsoft Excel, with its own memory, output, and custom assembly language, is an impressive - if not entirely useful - feat. This is because ...

Scientists at MIT built a 16-bit microprocessor out of carbon nanotubes and even ran a program on it, a new paper reports. Silicon-based computer processors seem to be approaching a limit to how small ...

A highly integrated, dual-channel, 16-bit programmable sensor-signal conditioner from Maxim Integrated Products provides amplification, calibration, signal linearization, and temperature compensation.

A microprocessor is a complex, programmable integrated circuit (IC) on a single chip that can execute instructions. This generally includes CPUs found in computers but also refers to the ...

India has taken a big step in its semiconductor journey by creating the Vikram 32-bit processor. It is a home-grown microchip built to power space missions and survive tough launch conditions. On ...

New research paper titled “FlexiCores: low footprint, high yield, field reprogrammable flexible microprocessors” from researchers at University of Illinois and PragmatIC Semiconductor. “Flexible ...
