All of Microchip’s baseline PIC microcontrollers have internal 4-MHz oscillators, which are useful for freeing up one or two pins for I/O use and allowing you to build minimal-component-count designs ...

The major building blocks for a white-LED driver are an oscillator, a charge pump, and a regulated current source. National Semiconductor (www.national.com) produces a device that contains all these ...

How to set up an PIC microcontroller to deliver high-precision frequencies from 1 Hz to 4 MHz. Examples of the frequencies delivered by this microcontroller design. In timing applications, a time-base ...

Characteristics and contrasts with microprocessors. Hints on selecting and deploying microcontrollers. What might be on the horizon for microcontrollers, especially the competition between Von Neumann ...
