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, the device acquires a current ...

The completed circuit sends mains power through an optocoupler to drive a 555 configured as a comparator. The output is a clean 50Hz clock that is connected to the OSCIN pin on an STM8. This is ...

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 ...

The Raspberry Pi Foundation has announced the Raspberry Pi Pico, a $4 microcontroller. The computer features the new RP2040, which will also show up in other products, thanks to the foundation’s ...

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 ...

In this article, I'll be explaining the basics of how microcontrollers work, physically and virtually. First off, microcontrollers are no simple thing, so don't be discouraged if you find it mind ...

Wire up your microcontroller to power and ground according to its circuit diagram. To the circuit you’ll now add the MIDI circuit. For this you’ll need the 2N2222 transistor.
