Microcontroller and Processor Components

Your Partner for Hard-to-find Microcontroller and Processor Components

Microcontrollers (MCUs) are integrated circuits used to automate and control devices.  A microcontroller system consists of at least one CPU, memory, and I/O.  They are an indispensable part of today’s technological world and most modern devices contain them – washing machines, telephones, trolleys, robotic lawnmowers, remote controls, and more. 

A processor is most often referred to as a microprocessor.  They are different from a microcontroller as they focus on performance rather than application.  They tend to have fewer peripherals and often have internal functionality that provides acceleration for their particular algorithms.  This may include internal memory cache, complex data and instruction busing, complex internal instruction units (pipelines), arithmetic instruction units (ALUs), and supervisor circuits.  Modern microprocessors can contain hardware accelerators for particular algorithms or graphics processing.

VRG Components can source any electronic parts that are hard to find – in short supply (allocations), end of life, or have long lead times – especially microcontrollers and processors.  We do this by leveraging our extensive network of carefully vetted, reliable suppliers to provide you with the right components to meet your needs.

Our mission is to supply hard-to-find, high-quality electronic components to maximize our customer’s production processes.  With the ability to source components from more than 500 leading manufacturers we can secure the microcontrollers and processors required for your project.

Diodes, Transistors & Thyristors

Diodes, transistors, and thyristors are types of semiconductor devices. A diode is a two-terminal electronic component that conducts current primarily in one direction. A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical power. A thyristor is a solid-state semiconductor device with four layers of alternating P- and N-type materials. It acts exclusively as a bistable switch, conducting when the gate receives a current trigger, and continuing to conduct until the voltage across the device is reversed biased, or until the voltage is removed.

Electromechanical Switches

An electromechanical switch uses a mechanical action to change the direction or orientation of path continuity within its terminal base. Many power supplies include them as an alternate means of clamping off power without the need to unplug the device. They are common in commercial, household, and automotive applications because of their durable construction and long life cycle.
