The ESP32 does everything a Pi Pico does, but costs less and lasts 100x longer on batteries ...

2016 was a great year for Open Hardware. The Open Source Hardware Association released their certification program, and late in the year, a few silicon wizards met in Mountain View to show off the ...

[SM6VFZ] designed, built and tested a switched-mode DC-DC boost regulator using the core independent peripherals (CIP) of an ATtiny214 micro-controller as a proof of concept, and it looks pretty ...

Selecting the right microcontroller for a product can be a daunting task. Not only are there a number of technical features to consider, there are also business case issues such as cost and lead-times ...

As computer systems become more and more ubiquitous in everyday items, the workings of those items will require some sort of digital controlling. Controllers that once handled large mechanical systems ...

GUEST OPINION: Choosing a suitable microcontroller is a crucial stage of any electronic system creation. MCU works as the brain of an application, managing the communication between components and ...

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 ...

Three of five leading global microcontroller manufacturers are European; with Renesas and Microchip, they hold 80% of the ...

Typically, air flow is measured with a hot-wire anemometer. Here's an alternative version of that concept using two thin-film platinum resistance temperature detectors. A high-performance mixed-signal ...
