LET'S GET TO KNOW THE INVENTOR
OF THE MICROCONTROLLER
This week, we're using the power of AI image generation to virtually "invite" five legendary figures from the embedded industry to visit MIKROE in 2024! Join us daily to see how AI is used beyond entertainment and into the realm of education, and see how these historical figures might look if they visited MIKROE today
Today we are "visited" by Gary Boone - the inventor of microcontrollers. Let's take a moment to remember his work, realize his importance, and see what links us back to him.
IMAGINE OUR WORLD WITHOUT MCUs!
Imagine a world without the tiny brains that power our electronics! Without them, the embedded world would be a much trickier place for engineers. And without Gary Boone's invention, we wouldn't have invented our open mcu/processor socket & add-on board standard SiBRAIN, which makes swapping out microcontrollers on a development board extremly simple.
Gary Boone is credited with inventing the Texas Instruments TMS1000 microcontroller in 1971, independently of other contemporaneous efforts. His design, using a single chip, integrated CPU, memory, and I/O interfaces, revolutionized electronics, enabling the development of countless devices, from cars to appliances.
