The IoT microcontroller market is segmented into three key product types: 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit microcontrollers. 32-bit ...

The folks at SiFive offered to give me a look at the HiFive 1, so here it is, the first hands-on with the first Open Hardware microcontroller. Before I dig into this, I must discuss the openness ...

We use a microcontroller without a second thought, in applications where once we might have resorted to a brace of 74 logic chips. But how many of us have spared a thought for how the microcontroll… ...

Along the way we'll discuss many aspects of software and electrical system designs and how they can be made to work together. The class will include lectures on these topics, practical hands-on lab ...

In Fig.2 we have the architectural model of a microcontroller basics. The Microcontroller 8051 is one of the most popular microcontrollers in the market. It is a simple 8-bit microcontroller, which ...

They may seem simpler, but don't be fooled: microcontrollers are perfect for a lot of my more complicated setups for a number of reasons ...

This circuit, based on a PIC microcontroller with a few added components, converts a sensor-based voltage into a 4- to 20-mA current loop. Shown is the circuit as originally drawn on a whiteboard.

The PIC microcontroller is the center of this frequency-to-voltage converter. To achieve the conversion, the input frequency is separated into four scales, which are manually selected by the ...
