In many applications, all you need is an MCU with reasonably low processing capabilities just to interface with sensors and send some data through a transceiver or even provide output to a display or actuate on something. For these simple tasks, an 8-bit microcontroller is usually just...

Low power MCU family offers power-saving peripherals, hardware safety, and secure code protection System developers of battery-powered and other power-conscious designs with and without LCD displays can now easily add an array of innovative features using a new line of PIC® eXtreme...

UARTs for AVR MCUs by Nerd Ralph, he writes: I’ve written a few software UARTs for AVR MCUs. All of them have bit-banged the output, using cycle-counted assembler busy loops to time the output of each bit. The code requires interrupts to be disabled to ensure accurate timing between...

The USB Type-C / PIC32 development board from Lophtware is a low-cost Microchip PIC32-based development board, compatible with HID (Human Interface Device) endpoint standard. It is a USB 2.0 Type-C / PIC32 breakout board that offers full-speed USB 2.0 development for breadboarding and...

We can’t seem to get enough of Arduino Nano. It has been a “go to” boards for developers since its launch in 2008.  We see developers and engineers try to upgrade the Arduino. This has moved Clyde D. Corpuz to launch the Launchpad, which is a small, Arduino compatible...

Nordic Semiconductor has announced the nRF52805, which is a microcontroller from the NRF52 series of microcontrollers. Measuring at just 2.48 x 2.46mm, the nRF52805 is the smallest of all the nRF52 series. Despite its small size, the nRF52805 System-on-Chip (SoC) top up the...

ATtiny series of microcontrollers have, in recent times, been on the receiving end of a renewed love from the community. The processing power and new features, packed into the tiny form factor which houses the new chips have been a major contributor to their adoption, however,  one...

BLDC motors help power our day to day equipment, like computer hard drives, fans, CD/DVD players etc. One of this BLDC is Tinymovr. Tinymovr is an affordable BLDC motor controller for precise control of 3-phase brushless motors. Tinymovr is highly integrated incorporating an advanced...
