This application note describes the operation of a general- purpose, microcontroller-based Serial Port Interface (SPI) boot circuit. This is a low cost solution for users who need to modify some of ...

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 ...

Electronics is everywhere, especially these days. Many times, as frequent users, we do not even notice a “paradigm change” in the things we use on regular basis. We use a fridge, but we do not care ...

There are plenty of SPI interface screens on the market, but few of them have the charm of the good old Nixie tube. [Tony] decided to whip up a simple three-Nixie module that could be addressed via ...

More often than not, an IoT master device uses the SPI (serial peripheral interface) and I 2 C (inter-integrated circuit) protocols to exchange data with EEPROMs or sensors that are operating in slave ...

Voltage-to-current converters that feed grounded loads are common in industrial measurement and control applications. The conventional "textbook" circuit uses both positive and negative supply rails.

Local Interconnect Network (LIN) automotive bus systems are mainly placed in the body domain and we experience a constantly increasing number of nodes in the car. This article introduces the concept ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. When discussing displays, seven-segment displays and LCDs are among the first that come to mind. Each type has its pros and cons. But ...
