Battery-charger-control designers face a fundamental choice: to use a part from the rich selection of dedicated charge-control ICs available from many vendors or to use a programmable microcontroller.

Breaking the microcontroller universe down into three broad categories makes the job a little easier: simple process control, computationally intensive tasks, and IoT products. Figuring out where ...

In order to make a product out of this concept, a microcontroller is needed to process the sensor data. The microcontroller based control circuit senses and decides whether a touch incident or not and ...

Microcontrollers (PICs) are used in control systems, identified by their circuit symbols, and applied in robotic control. Bit patterns show the states of input and output devices. Circuits with ...

Billed as the industry’s fastest micro controller, the MicroSmart Pentra features a new Logic Engine that can process basic instructions in just 0.056ms. Besides being available in a traditional ...

Unlike complex approaches to power control and conversion design requiring extensive analog system integration knowledge, the PAC platform simplifies the development process by integrating all ...

A recent case in point is Texas Instruments’ new Hercules RM57Lx and TMS570LCx microcontrollers (MCUs ... quality manufacturing process, safety development process, safety-related documents, tools and ...
