Low-cost, 8-bit, single-chip microcontrollers are stingy when it comes to on-chip PWM (pulse-width-modulation) resources. The use of a PWM resource often forces a designer to sacrifice a ...

Pulse width modulation is a form of signal communication that transposes a signal from analog to digital form. Analog signals with changing amplitude and frequency pass through a comparator and are ...

I am supposed to be on other duties this week, but cannot resist pointing you in the direction of the new Raspberry Pi in-house MCU, the RP2040. Much as I want to write chapter and verse about the ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Sometimes a design needs more DACs than the mixed-signal microcontroller has available. An easy solution is to put in a ...

LCD circuits often require a –10V voltage at 2 to 15 mA to bias a graphics-LCD-driver IC. You can usually accomplish this task with an external charge-pump IC, such as Maxim’s ICL7660, but that ...

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (“Toshiba”) has launched the “TB67B000AHG,” a new three-phase brushless motor driver for home appliances such as ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. This 8051 microcontroller-based control circuit adjusts the speed of a small permanent-magnet dc motor via photosensors ...

Back in October I was pondering the creation of accurate micro-voltages from a microcontroller. What makes this so difficult is the voltage offset created by current in the microcontroller bond wire, ...

SAN JOSE , Calif., April 27, 2010 — Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC)*, a committed leader that collaborates with technology companies to create breakthrough designs, today ...

It never fails — we post a somewhat simple project using a microcontroller and someone points out that it could have been accomplished better with a 555 timer or discrete transistors or even a couple ...
