This article explores design techniques and challenges for implementing an electronic bike (E-Bike) built using a microcontroller or Programmable System on Chip (PSoC). Current E-Bike systems use a ...

There comes a time in every electronic designer’s life when, whether they know it or not, they need an analog filter in their design. If you’re coming from a digital background, where everything is ...

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. Pulse-width modulation (PWM) is used in applications ranging from controlling valves or pumps to adjusting the ...

I have had an on-going mission to design a universal-ish pcb that will convert a PWM waveform at one frequency into to another frequency while retaining the mark-space ratio. The obvious answer is a ...

This paper discusses about a low cost, portable, reusable platform established to ease the in-system power-up behaviour evaluation of MCU. This flexible platform is able to generate ramp-up signals at ...

When I was in graduate school 10 years ago, a controls group proposed to the power-electronics center to use an advanced microcontroller in power supplies. This controller was to implement a new ...

This circuit transforms a pulse-width-modulation (PWM) signal into non-overlapping clock signals, whose number depends on the length of a shift register. These clock signals can be used to power up ...

Having reviewed the basics of BLDC motor control in Part 1, the design effort canbegin.. The first quest is to select a microcontroller. Looking in themarketplace there are several microcontrollers ...
