The usual way send data from a microcontroller is either over RS-232 with MAX232 serial ICs, crystals, and a relatively ancient computer, or by bit-banging the USB protocol and worrying about driver ...

Serial buses dot the landscape of embedded design. From displays to storage to peripherals, serial interfaces make communications possible. Many serial communication interfaces compete for use in ...

As many as half of all embedded designs have an FPGA next to a microcontroller. The FPGA can be used to implement anything from glue logic, to custom IP, to accelerators for computationally intensive ...

Microchip announces the PICkit™ Serial Analyzer. This new tool enables design engineers to easily and cost-effectively interface with embedded circuits within serial systems using any Windows®-based ...

The UART, or universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter, is one of the most used device-to-device communication protocols. This article shows how to use a UART as a hardware communication protocol by ...

In recent years, integrated platforms equipped with microcontrollers (with Arduino probably being the best-known brand) have been gaining popularity.

It’s pretty common to have at least a couple of meters around to measure different values of a circuit at the same time. Where [Emilio P.G. Ficara] ran into a problem was logging the data from both at ...

Düsseldorf -- June 27, 2013 – Toshiba Electronics Europe (TEE) has announced a new ARM® CortexTM M3® -based microcontroller that combines large capacity memory with a range of serial interfaces, ...

Konstanz, Germany -- February 5, 2009 -- Today, Hyperstone introduced its high-performance E2 – 32-Bit RISC/DSP Microcontroller with additional on-chip highlights such as programmable serial ...

A bootloader makes it possible to update a product’s firmware in the field. Common communication interfaces like UART, I 2 C, SPI or USB can be used to update the firmware, which typically involves a ...
