Current source and measurement Figure 7 shows the digital outputs of the microcontroller that connect to a DAC circuit (AD420) with 16-bit CMOS current output using the SPI protocol. With this circuit ...

A microcontroller's internal ADC was inadequate to measure its own supply rail, so a circuit using standard discrete components was devised to do this with just one pin of the IC.

Geneva&#151An in-circuit emulator for the ST72561 family of 8-bit microcontrollers performs real-time emulation, debugging, and in-circuit programming while touting the emulator family's low-cost ...

If you’re really clever, you can clock digital circuits with mains AC, but we’ve never seen someone replace a tiny crystal in a microcontroller circuit with mains power.

This microcontroller-based control circuit adjusts the speed of a small permanent-magnet DC motor to one of four speeds as selected by a pair of photosensors.

Some have asked me: Will this affect the performance of the in-car system? **Not at all, it simply shuts off the power in non-operational states without affecting normal use.** It’s like a phone ...

The circuits contain two switches made from silicon carbide and operate as a logical NOT gate. The team believes that its nanoelectromechanical system (NEMS) could be used in microcontrollers embedded ...
