Many embedded-microcontroller applications require generation of analog signals. An integrated or stand-alone DAC fills the role. However, you can often use PWM signals for generating the required ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Microchip is aiming at analogue sensors with a microcontroller that can measure signals while consuming less than 3µA while sleeping with one comparator monitoring an in-coming voltage. Called ...
