VisualDSP++ is an easy-to-install and easy-to-use integrated software development and debugging environment (IDDE) that enables efficient management of projects from start to finish from within a ...

For a human, experiencing a fall unobserved can be doubly dangerous. The obvious possibility of initial injury may be further aggravated by the possible consequences if treatment is not obtained ...

This application note presents the electrical aspect of the 1-Wire protocol for new and legacy devices. A special section explains how to determine appropriate timing parameters for a network ...

Many industries are calling for electronics that can operate reliably in harsh environments, including extremely high temperatures. Traditionally, engineers had to rely on active or passive cooling ...

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

Historically, it has been very difficult to build wide bandwidth, high quality, voltage-controlled amplifiers. Discrete designs have required a great deal of design effort while monolithic or hybrid ...

Today’s designs require an increasing number of power rails and supply solutions in electronics systems, with loads ranging from a few mA for standby supplies to over 100A for ASIC voltage regulators.

One common method for determining the tilt or inclination of a system is to integrate the output of a gyroscope. Although this method is straightforward, error ...

Serial peripheral interface (SPI) is one of the most widely used interfaces between microcontroller and peripheral ICs such as sensors, ADCs, DACs, shift registers, SRAM, and others. This article ...

The trend in electronics, particularly consumer electronics, is towards smaller products with enhanced combinations of features. Consequently, lots of electronic components are being shoehorned into ...
