You have the option to search amongst ALL processors or within the subset of 32/64 bit or 8/16 bit processors. Once the set of processor instruction word length has been chosen selected, number of fields are available for you to narrow your search down to the processor or processors which best match your current needs. The search engine has been developed to allow a successive narrowing of search criteria. Any combination of the search menus constitutes a valid search. We suggest you start with the most important requirements, perhaps a specific interface (CAN, Ethernet) and execute the search before you narrow down using other desirable features, performance as determined by your choice of instruction set architecture and speed grades, flash size etc.

To start over simply hit the red "RESET" link.

Once you have narrowed you search use the compare feature to look at the next level of detail, go to the specific processor page or open the datasheet directly from the search results.

The compare operation is available for up to 20 processors which correesponds to one page of results. narrow your search to one page of results and use the top compare check box to select all processors and them compare them side by side.

If you know what processor you are interested in you can start with a processor search and then narrow down the available tools from the specific processor page. If you prefer to explore tools and software you can start here.

The tools search menus are self explanatory and are independent of each other. This can lead to searches with zero results if you choose a set of mutually exclusive conditions. The aim of this search is to allow you to explore what is available and from whom. Each tool is listed with the company name which is a link to their complete list of tools. The tools name is also a link to a more complete description of the tools and a link (where available) to check price and availability from our distribution partners.

The SEARCH AND RESET buttons work in the same way as in the Processor search engine.

TIP: Start with a broad search and narrow your search down. The back button on your browser will take you to a previous result if you need to.
