When designing a system, one of the most important design decisions is choosing what voltage domain(s) to use. Some voltage domains, such as 5 V, are good for noisy and harsh operating environments ...

While microcontroller specs may be the first thing engineers look at when deciding on a device for their system, the ecosystem that surrounds the microcontroller is certainly very important, and ...

The hardware design techniques employed for an application will establish the baseline immunity performance. The purpose of hardware techniques is to reduce the level or frequency content of immunity ...

The motors I used for this robot are 2 servomotors modified for speed. You can also use other motors if it’s good enough. I didn’t have any so I modded 2 servomotors. How to Mod the Servomotors (look ...

The Ball Grid Array, or BGA package is no longer the exclusive preserve of large, complex chips on computer motherboards: today even simple microcontrollers are available with those little solder ...

The embedded world is constantly changing. You might not have noticed, but if you take a minute to recall what a microcontroller system was like 10 years ago and compare it to today's latest ...

While DSPs are the primary controllers in uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) with power-factor correction (PFC), ac generation and battery management, microcontrollers serve secondary functions for ...

How to implement a microcontroller to monitor ac-motor speed. Steps taken to test and register the pulses detected for each motor. When you need to monitor the speed of ac motors to achieve ...
