A version of thie article appeared in the February 2012 issue of Test & Measurement World. See the PDF. Many industrial systems use the 4–20-mA loop to transmit measurements from sensors to displays, ...

Connect your UNO R3 to your computer and configure the ATmega328P's ADC to read its internal temperature channel. Then print ...

This circuit solved a problem encountered in developing a portable device with an ARM Cortex-M0 processor. The power supply consisted of two AA batteries (2 × 1.5 V), and I needed to signal the user ...

GUEST OPINION: Choosing a suitable microcontroller is a crucial stage of any electronic system creation. MCU works as the brain of an application, managing the communication between components and ...

The future’s cheap and yellow.

The 0- to 20-mA current loop isa reliable means of data communicationin industrial applications.These circuits use a precision shunt inthe receiver to convert the current signalinto a voltage signal.

Toshiba’s TXZ+™ Family Entry-Class M4V Group microcontrollers feature an Arm® Cortex®-M4 core and enhanced security for system control applications.

Microchip is aiming at motor control by combining a triple half-bridge mosfet gate driver, a 100MHz processor and CAN FD transceivers in the same IC. Other members of the family offer LIN transceivers ...

Microcontroller port pins can typically be driven either high or low, or else be put into an "input" or high-impedance state. This circuit uses the three states to drive two separate LEDs with one ...

[Lujji] is playing around with the STM8 microcontroller. In reviewing the official documentation for this chip, he read the external clock can be a sine wave, a triangle wave, or a square wave with a ...
