URGENTLY NEEDED, Full or Part-time Microcontroller Researchers for short-term contract until 10 Jan 25 - MUST BE UK BASED

The overall aim is to survey commercially-available microcontrollers to identify those that fulfil a set of defined criteria. The extent of the survey to be performed can be tailored to the time available, for example by restricting it to the components available from a certain manufacturer.

A microcontroller (MCU) is a small computer on a single integrated circuit. A microcontroller contains one or more CPUs (processor cores) along with memory and programmable input/output peripherals. The capability and power of MCUs vary widely. The results of the survey are to be captured in a spreadsheet, along with the manufacturer’s name and the part number of each MCU surveyed. We are carrying out a survey to identify those MCUs that fulfil the following criteria:

  1. Key question: is an evaluation board available? If yes then complete the additional questions. If not then record the manufacturer and part number but leave other fields blank.
  2. CPU (only 16/32/64 bits - do not survey 8 bit devices)
  3. Maximum clock speed
  4. Memory size
  5. Power consumption
  6. Embedded mitigations
  7. Availability and variety of IOs
  8. Operating temperature range (°C)

Additional criteria may be added.

Experience required

  • Good knowledge of microcontrollers
  • Good electronics knowledge
