Abstract: Stellaris® LM3S microcontrollers are highly integrated system-on-chip (SOC) devices with extensive interface and processing capabilities. Consequently, there are many factors to consider ...

Manufacturing challenges below 8mil. When drill to trace spacing falls below 8 mil, the PCB moves into a far more complex manufacturing zone. Standard mechanical drilling is often insufficient, and ...

Arduino and electronic enthusiasts interested in designing and manufacturing their very first PCB might find a project published by YouTuber Upir for his LED volume control shield PCB interesting to ...

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 ...

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 ...

Eindhoven, Netherlands and San Jose, California, April 20, 2010 NXP Semiconductors today announced sampling of the world’s smallest general-market 32-bit microcontroller, the LPC1102, based on the ...
