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 ...

We love little tricks like this. Suppose that you want to generate an IR remote’s signal. It’s easy, because most of the codes are known. But it can be slightly harder because most IR remotes and ...

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 ...

Hi there, and welcome to Part 3 of this soon-to-be-heralded mega-mini-series. In Part 1, we discussed the first vacuum tube diodes, moved on to their solid-state (semiconductor) descendants, and then ...

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 ...
