Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are used in a wide range of electronic devices. However, most of the low-cost microcontrollers do not include an ADC peripheral. This design idea provides a way to ...

Microcontroller applications often have low-level sensor signals and moderate power-drive circuitry, in addition to the microcontrollers. A peaceful coexistence with these three extremes requires a ...

SAN JOSE , Calif., April 27, 2010 — Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC)*, a committed leader that collaborates with technology companies to create breakthrough designs, today ...

CHANDLER, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Microchip Technology Inc. (NAS: MCHP) , a leading provider of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and Flash-IP solutions, today announced a new family of ...

CHANDLER, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Microchip Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MCHP), a leading provider of microcontroller and analog semiconductors, today announced 12 new high-performance, 8-bit Flash ...

In portable and space-constrained systems designers have the option to use microcontrollers with integrated analogue-to-digital converters (ADCs) or lower resolution ADCs with preamplifier circuitry.

When taking measurements from analog sensors located at long distances, voltage drops and noise can affect precision of the readings. Therefore, a voltage-to-current (V/I) module is needed to transmit ...

Why didn’t they do this sooner? That’s the question some embedded engineers designing with microcontrollers (MCUs) are asking about the idea of adding analog signal-chain components in MCUs. With ...

Deep in the heart of your latest project lies a little silicon brain. Much like the brain inside your own bone-plated noggin, your microcontroller needs protection from the outside world from time to ...
