Many microcontroller designs typically mix multiple interfacing methods. A microcontroller (µC) system can be viewed as a system that reads from inputs, performs processing and writes to outputs.

This is a simple circuit which shows how to interface 16×2 LCD to PIC18F4550 microcontroller which is of family PIC18F. Interfacing LCD to PIC is not different from interfacing to 8051. The basic ...

Sending data from a microcontroller to a PC usually requires some sort of serial connection, either through fiddly on-chip USB, FTDI chips, or expensive radio ICs. [Scott] didn’t want to deal with ...

As many as half of all embedded designs have an FPGA next to a microcontroller. The FPGA can be used to implement anything from glue logic, to custom IP, to accelerators for computationally intensive ...

USB interfaces are everywhere today, with low cost flash memory drives and all kinds of USB peripherals readily available. But these are very much focused on the PC market. Attempt to make use of ...

"When this chip is released, it will truly revolutionize the industry and provide the next generation of performance against which all other micro devices will be measured." That's how NEC's new ...

Chandler, AZ. The SAM D5x and SAM E5x microcontroller (MCU) families are now available from Microchip Technology Inc. These new 32-bit MCU families offer extensive connectivity interfaces and robust ...

[Lucidscience] is back again, this time showing us how to push data to a VGA monitor from your AVR project. It turns out that it is pretty simple, requiring only n open port and a few resistors and ...

The new laser diode driver iC-HT permits microcontroller-based activation of laser diodes in CW mode. With this device laser diodes can be driven by either the optical output power (using APC), the ...
