STMicroelectronics, a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, has released an innovative full-color ambient light sensor (ALS) that helps smartphones take better pictures and present more visually accurate data on screen displays....

Jesus Echavarria @ jechavarria.com has build a 4 in 1 USB Serial converter based on MCP2221A. This board is mainly a USB hub with 4 USB to serial converters. Is like the typical USB to TTL adapter but with one USB port you get up to 4 serial ports. Levels of every converter are...

Monolithic Power Systems has introduced a new synchronous, 4-switch integrated buck-boost converter, the MP8862. The converter can regulate the output voltage from a wide input voltage range of 2.8V to 22V with high efficiency. The converter supports an Iout of 2A. Vout ranges from a...

I²CDriver is an easy-to-use, open source tool for controlling I²C devices. It works with Windows, Mac, and Linux, and has a built-in color screen that shows a live “dashboard” of all the I²C activity. It uses a standard FTDI USB serial chip to talk to the PC, so no special...

David Johnson-Davies designed a GPS module that decodes the NMEA sentences on ATtiny841, and this also runs the I2C slave routine. He writes: This is a compact GPS module with an I2C interface, making it easy to read the GPS parameters from another project without needing to worry...

This project describes a simple GPS module which you can interface to via I2C. It uses an ATtiny841. David Johnson-Davies writes: Incorporating GPS into a project is quite daunting. First you have to parse the NMEA sentences from the GPS module you're using, and then if you're doing...

App note from Maxim integrated about alternative method to extend I2C bus. Systems are increasingly requiring greater distances for I2C buses. This article explains how the DS28E17 can be used to extend the distance of I2C devices while decreasing cost. Extending I2C communication...

I2C - Everything you need to know article from www.mikroe.com There is no need for a wordy introduction to I2C protocol. We all know it's main parts - 2 wires, multiple slaves, sometimes multiple masters, up to 5MHz of speed. Often so have we all implemented an I2C connection. Still,...
