Low-cost, 8-bit, single-chip microcontrollers are stingy when it comes to on-chip PWM (pulse-width-modulation) resources. The use of a PWM resource often forces a designer to sacrifice a ...

STMicroelectronics has introduced a family of ARM-based microcontrollers, the STR730F Series, which addresses the emerging demand for high-performance, cost-effective and off-the-shelf 32-bit ...

Batteries are the typical power sources for portable-system applications, and it is not unusual these days to find microcontroller-based portable systems. A variety of microcontrollers operates at low ...

[Hugatry] wanted to replace the adjustment pot on an LM2596 buck converter with a microprocessor-controlled voltage. The regulator IC uses a divider to generate a 1.25V reference from the output. The ...

Trying to create controllable low voltages – μVs – using a microcontroller is tricky. Even is only relative, rather than absolute, accuracy is required. The issue is working near oV – frequently even ...

How to set up an PIC microcontroller to deliver high-precision frequencies from 1 Hz to 4 MHz. Examples of the frequencies delivered by this microcontroller design. In timing applications, a time-base ...

Atmel has introduced a 6-pin microcontroller. The 8bit AVR ATtiny10 has 1kbyte of flash and 32byte of SRAM in a 2x3mm SOT-23 package. Performance is claimed to be up to 12MIPS, and peripherals include ...

This paper discusses about a low cost, portable, reusable platform established to ease the in-system power-up behaviour evaluation of MCU. This flexible platform is able to generate ramp-up signals at ...

Let’s say you’re working on a project, and you need a microcontroller. Which chip do you reach for? Probably the one you’re most familiar with, or at least the one whose programmer is hiding away in a ...
