Sending data from a microcontroller to a PC usually requires some sort of serial connection, either through fiddly on-chip USB, FTDI chips, or expensive radio ICs. [Scott] didn’t want to deal with ...

Real operating systems on a tiny microcontroller.

The Design Idea in Circuit and software provide accurate recalibration for baseline PIC microcontroller’s internal oscillator uses three I/O lines to recover the internal calibration value by ...

Standard provides a single, scalable interface standard across all Cortex-M series processor vendors enabling easier code sharing and re-use CAMBRIDGE, UK – Nov. 12, 2008 – ARM [(LSE: ARM); ...

Many microcontroller designs typically mix multiple interfacing methods. A microcontroller (µC) system can be viewed as a system that reads from inputs, performs processing and writes to outputs.

USB interfaces are everywhere today, with low cost flash memory drives and all kinds of USB peripherals readily available. But these are very much focused on the PC market. Attempt to make use of ...

Direct sensor-to-microcontroller interface techniques enable the conversion of physical measurands into digital signals without dedicated analogue-to-digital converter chips or elaborate conditioning ...

As many as half of all embedded designs have an FPGA next to a microcontroller. The FPGA can be used to implement anything from glue logic, to custom IP, to accelerators for computationally intensive ...

Voltage-to-current converters that feed grounded loads are common in industrial measurement and control applications. The conventional "textbook" circuit uses both positive and negative supply rails.
