Overview of the Overall Market Size of RISC-V Processors RISC-V is an open standard instruction set architecture based on research from the Parallel Computing Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley. Since the establishment of the RISC-V Foundation (now renamed RISC-V International) in 2015, it has had 36 founding members; today, the organization has over … Read more
According to a report by Electronic Enthusiasts (Author: Wu Zipeng), when developing humanoid robot solutions, most people equate the intelligence capabilities of robots with AI large models. With high-performance AI chips paired with AI large models, the intelligence level of humanoid robots has significantly improved. However, AI large models are primarily used for high-level intelligent … Read more

Recently, Aipute Microelectronics, a leading domestic RISC-V MCU company in the fields of industrial control and smart home appliances, officially launched a powerful, high-performance, and high-speed processing RISC-V 32-bit MCU—the APT32F173 series, which supports dual motor drive. The APT32F173 series adopts a fully domestic RISC-V core, featuring 8K ICACHE, single-precision floating-point, and DSP computing capabilities, … Read more
In motor control applications, MCUs (Microcontrollers) and DSPs (Digital Signal Processors) each have their unique advantages and applicable scenarios. The following is a comparative analysis of the two: 1. Advantages of MCUs 1. Cost and Integration Low Cost: MCUs are generally cheaper, suitable for cost-sensitive applications (such as home appliances and consumer electronics). High Integration: … Read more
With the global economic outlook declining and traditional consumer electronics demand falling, the semiconductor industry is beginning to face a wave of order cuts. On July 1, market news reported that the storm of semiconductor chip order cuts and price reductions has expanded again, this time involving MCUs (Microcontrollers), especially with the largest price drops … Read more
Most people start learning about microcontrollers with the most basic 8-bit MCUs. Generally, the three most common series of 8-bit microcontrollers are: the 51 series, AVR series, and PIC series.Recently, there was a discussion in a group about a question: Is it meaningful to run RTOS on a 51 microcontroller? Regarding this question, everyone has … Read more
In the first episode of the already aired “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law,” we witness the origin of Jennifer Walters as She-Hulk. However, the most surprising aspect is the return of Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/The Hulk. As one of the few original Avengers still active, The Hulk has accompanied us for over a decade. However, … Read more
After ARM launched its MCU IP, it has become quite challenging to establish a strong chip manufacturer. Firstly, one must act quickly to seize market opportunities; secondly, having a loyal customer base for one’s own IP is crucial, as seen with Renesas, Microchip, and TI, who continue to use their own MCU core IP. Thirdly, … Read more
