When we think of an m.2 slot in our laptop or similar, it’s usually in the context of its PCI connectivity for high-speed applications such as solid state disks. It’s a connector that offers much more ...

Let’s say you’re working on a project, and you need a microcontroller. Which chip do you reach for? Probably the one you’re most familiar with, or at least the one whose programmer is hiding away in a ...

The world of microcontrollers has been revolutionized with the introduction of EsPiFF, a reliable Raspberry Pi replacement specific scenarios. This innovative device is designed for applications that ...

The 1-Wire interface is low-cost and effective, but useful only for a very short distance; by using a standard bus-buffer IC, this distance can be extended while creating a convenient interface to a ...

You can use a microcontroller that includes an ADC to design a two-wire-plus-ground keyboard interface. For example, you can use a resistive voltage divider to identify a pressed key (Reference 1). A ...

Microcontrollers are small and inexpensive. Security solutions have the reputation for being neither. With increasingly strict regulation and legislation, the need to balance the two is critical. Why ...
