The combination of an external circuit and a low-voltage microcontroller occasionally requires a significantly higher power-supply voltage. You can use either an external boost converter to increase ...

The MCP120 is a microcontroller voltage supervisory circuit with open drain output. This voltage supervisory device is designed to hold a microcontroller in reset until the supply voltage has reached ...

The algorithm in this microcontroller design this design drives an LED matrix and provides digital-voltage-readout and bar-like dot displays, showing dots for a graphical output if the input value is ...

Until recently, a very common problem faced by electronic circuit designers was the difference in supply voltage standards between microcontrollers (e.g. 3.3 V) and peripheral ICs (e.g. 5 V). In order ...

This project pairs a set of 8-bit microcontrollers with a 433-MHz industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) band transmitter/receiver. The FS1000A RF transmitter has a range of up to 200 m; the ...

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 ...

The basic 16×2 LCD is an extremely popular component that we’ve seen used in more projects than we could possibly count. Part of that is because modern microcontrollers make it so easy to work with; ...

The most common way of programming AVR microcontrollers is the In System Programming port. That little six-pin header with MOSIs and MISOs coming out of it will program every AVR you’ll ever come ...
