It is one of our favorite chips, and the brains behind the Arduino UNO and its clones, and it’s getting a tweak (PDF). The ATmega328 and other megaX8-series chips have undergone a subtle design change ...

Silicon Laboratories is offering a new class of oscillator as a frequency reference. The all-silicon Si500 series uses neither a MEMS (microelectromechanical-system) frequency system nor a crystal, ...

Microcontrollers commonly add intelligence or digital functions to products, but they can also provide a variety of analog signals. An 18-pin PIC 16C54 microcontroller, combined with an inexpensive, 8 ...

Crystal oscillators are fundamental components in modern electronic systems, providing the precise timing necessary for communication, computation, and sensor network operations. Recent advances in ...

When it came time to try out some old-school computing [Quinn Dunki] grabbed a 6502 processor and got to work. For those that are unfamiliar, this is the first chip that was both powerful, affordable, ...

A Pierce (crystal) oscillator intended to provide a reliable clock signal for at least 1 year when powered by battery voltages as low as 2.4 V. Fig 1. This Pierce-series resonant oscillator can ...

Starting a crystal oscillator fast in an IoT node is an art: the high Q needed for stability means they take milliseconds to get going, just to transmit a 128μs Bluetooth LE packet, and power is at a ...
