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 ...

To meet the demands of modern motor-control applications, which are being driven by the increased need for more energy-efficient appliances, engineers are looking for ways to better control motor ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

[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 ...

Mouser Electronics, Inc. is pleased to announce the availability of the new Intel Quark microcontroller, designed for Internet of Things (IoT) architectures and applications. The Intel Quark ...
