Many embedded-microcontroller applications require generation of analog signals. An integrated or stand-alone DAC fills the role. However, you can often use PWM signals for generating the required ...

Low-cost, 8-bit, single-chip microcontrollers are stingy when it comes to on-chip PWM (pulse-width-modulation) resources. The use of a PWM resource often forces a designer to sacrifice a ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Sometimes a design needs more DACs than the mixed-signal microcontroller has available. An easy solution is to put in a ...

I am supposed to be on other duties this week, but cannot resist pointing you in the direction of the new Raspberry Pi in-house MCU, the RP2040. Much as I want to write chapter and verse about the ...

Trying to create controllable low voltages – μVs – using a microcontroller is tricky. Even is only relative, rather than absolute, accuracy is required. The issue is working near oV – frequently even ...
