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 ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Sometimes a design needs more DACs than the mixed-signal microcontroller has available. An easy solution is to put in 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 ...

When I was in graduate school 10 years ago, a controls group proposed to the power-electronics center to use an advanced microcontroller in power supplies. This controller was to implement a new ...

I am supposed to be on other duties this week, but cannot resist pointing you in the direction of the new Raspberry Pi in-house MCU, the RP2040. Much as I want to write chapter and verse about the ...

The basic idea behind these new peripherals is that, once set up properly, they will operate independently and relieve the microcontroller core from the heavy lifting of the task at hand. This allows ...

[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 ...

It never fails — we post a somewhat simple project using a microcontroller and someone points out that it could have been accomplished better with a 555 timer or discrete transistors or even a couple ...

MIKROE has announced that the latest release of its mikroSDK software development kit now supports the Renesas RA2E1 family ...
