A great many industrial sensors — flow, level, temperature, pressure, pH, and the list goes on — produce a 4-20 mA output, but today's factories increasingly need digital inputs via standard field ...
[Daniel Garcia] sent us a quick tutorial he put together demonstrating how to use an ATmega168 to perform analog to digital conversions. This timely tutorial would make for a nice complimentary ...
The IEEE 802.11a standard is the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) standard for tomorrow’s high imposition communication world. However, battery life of the device is a major problem for today’s user ...
Back in the day where the microprocessor was our standard building block, we tended to concentrate on computation and processing of data and not so much on I/O. Simply put there were a lot of things ...
New AD9250 dual-channel, 14-bit, 250-MSPS, A/D converter with JESD204B-compatible output connects seamlessly to high-speed FPGAs and enables precise multi-channel converter synchronization. NORWOOD, ...
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 ...
