Scalable, Ultra-Low-Latency MCUs Optimize Real-Time Control (Download)

High-performance industrial and automotive applications require real-time control to quickly respond to sensor inputs—controlling an electromechanical actuator, for example, or adjusting the pulse widths of the output of a pulse-width modulator (PWM). Ultra-low-latency real-time microcontrollers (MCUs) are key components for such applications, providing the processing power necessary to make decisions and take action.

To speed your designs and reduce BOM costs, opt for real-time MCUs that include integrated data converters, flash memory, and configurable logic as well as flexible I/O interfaces. In addition, choose an MCU vendor that provides full support in the form of reference designs and software-development kits (SDKs).
