Microchip has recently launched a simple yet powerful development board aimed at embedded and IoT applications. As the name suggests, the development board is powered by the ATemga3208 from Microchip. The microcontroller features an 8-bit AVR processor clocked at up to 20MHz and comes...

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...

Many applications these days require a small or bigger display, either for displaying the time, temperature or other sensor value, or even just a battery indicator, in a simple manner. With them, you usually want some sort of animation, such as a blinking, so that the system feels more...

With the technology more and more taking control of our world, such as factories and homes, long gone are the days where you just wanted to dim the lights a little bit Now, we want our house heated just before we come in, the garage doors to open themselves, among other things. The...

When your product needs to be designed to work in the most harsh of conditions, such as in military vehicles, aircrafts and others of the same sort, you need military-grade components to cope with extreme temperatures, radiation, and other environmental characteristics commonly found in...

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...

Graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and interactive touchscreen displays provide intuitive user experiences in applications from robotic and machine controls to medical user interfaces, automotive instrumentation and home and building automation systems. A well-designed GUI enables users...

Microchip Technology Inc. has introduced a RISC-V-based System-on-Chip (SoC) Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) development kit for PolarFire® SoC FPGA. The Icicle Development Kit allows the designers who need a programmable RISC-V based SOC FPGA to develop and evaluate the broad...
