NXP Semiconductors has announced the industry’s first crossover MCU, i.MX RT1170 28nm fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) microcontroller unit (MCU), which is a power-efficient design with real-time functionality, and MCU usability at an affordable price. It clocks its...

David Johnson-Davies published another great tiny project. He writes: This project describes a simple low-current meter I devised to check the sleep current of different microcontroller circuits, such as ones based on AVR microcontrollers. It's capable of measuring currents of between...

This breakout board converts Silicon Labs' EFM8UB1 (Universal Bee series) to DIP scale. You can use the USB Type-C cable directly connected. 300mil width DIP16 pin shape (substrate size 27.0 mm × 7.6 mm) EFM8UB10F16G-C (16kBytes flash, 2304Bytes RAM, Internal OSC)...

STM32G0 Entry-level Arm® Cortex®-M0+ MCUs The new STM32G0 Series is not simply another Arm® Cortex®-M0+ microcontroller. It sets a new definition of what an efficient microcontroller must offer. This is all about best optimization, down to each and every detail, to offer the best...

STMicroelectronics has launched a series of STM32 MCUs in an 8-pin package to provide simple embedded projects with 32-bit performance and flexibility in a small, cheap form factor. via www.eenewsembedded.com The four new STM32G0 devices have a combination of 8-pin economy and a 64MHz...

This article describes a set of minimal I2C routines for the new 0-series and 1-series ATtiny and ATmega microcontrollers. They allow any of these processors to act as an I2C Master and connect to I2C peripherals. As an example of their use I've designed a digital clock circuit based on...

The MPLAB® Snap In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer allows affordable, fast and easy debugging and programming of most PIC®, dsPIC®, AVR and SAM flash MCUs, using the powerful graphical user interface of MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) version 5.05 or later. The MPLAB...

A volume unit (VU) meter or standard volume indicator (SVI) as it's sometimes called, is a device which displays the audio signal level of an audio signal. It is essentially a basic voltmeter (fitted with transducers to convert sound to voltage) that takes a simple average of the...
