Microcontrollers commonly add intelligence or digital functions to products, but they can also provide a variety of analog signals. An 18-pin PIC 16C54 microcontroller, combined with an inexpensive, 8 ...

All of Microchip’s baseline PIC microcontrollers have internal 4-MHz oscillators, which are useful for freeing up one or two pins for I/O use and allowing you to build minimal-component-count designs ...

Every AVR microcontroller, from the ATtiny in your thermostat to the ATMega in your Arduino, stores its configuration in a series of fuse bits. These fuse bits control settings such as the multiplier ...

Renesas Electronics has unveiled 16 new 16bit microcontrollers within its R8C/Lx mcu Series. According to Renesas, the product range provides the 'industry's most stable accuracy' on the high speed on ...

How to set up an PIC microcontroller to deliver high-precision frequencies from 1 Hz to 4 MHz. Examples of the frequencies delivered by this microcontroller design. In timing applications, a time-base ...

A traditional early project for someone discovering a love for electronics has been for many years a metal detector. This would mean a few transistors back in the day, but today it’s more likely to ...
