Ryan Metivier, Analog Devices EDN Home-based power-line networking signals are similar to xDSL (digitalsubscriber- line) signals in that they both typically employ a form of OFDM (orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing). Both applications ...
I stood in stunned silence at the smoke billowing up from the hardware on the workbench. Just moments before, it had been operating as expected, before self-destructing with a sound that can only be compared with a gunshot. The failure of the ...
Girish Choudankar Electronic Design The 1-Wire interface is low-cost and effective, but useful only for a very short distance; by using a standard bus-buffer IC, this distance can be extended while creating a convenient interface to a ...
By Darwin Tolentino The controller area network (CAN) serial-bus topology allows devices and microcontrollers to communicate with each other without the use of a host computer. Featuring arbitration-free transmission, it places a controller and a ...
Reference Design APP 5610 December 2013 Yuriy Kurtsevoy, Stuart Smith This reference design shows how to develop a high-performance, high-voltage 2- or 3-wire 420 mA current-loop transmitter suitable for industrial process control and smart ...
Application Note AND9149/D August 2013 NCN5120 is a receiver-transmitter IC suitable for use in KNX® twisted pair networks (KNX TP1-256). It supports the connection of actuators, sensors, microcontrollers, switches or other applications in a ...
Part 1 - Schematic Part 2 - Software Optimising the line drawing algorithm The first versions of my driver code featured the Extremely Fast Line Drawing Algorithm (EFLA). It seemed to perform well and so I didn’t turn my attention to ...
Part 1 - Schematic The software drivers My previous Nokia QVGA reverse engineering efforts that you can find documented extensively on this site have left me with a flexible and expandable driver that will make a good base from which to add support ...
There are many TFT modules available on the market that are designed to connect directly to an MCU to provide a full colour graphical display, just search ebay for “tft module” to see what I mean. Unfortunately for Arduino users the ...
Aruna Rubasinghe Matrix keyboards are common as an input device in microcontroller-based projects. A conventional way of connecting a matrix keyboard to a microcontroller is to use multiple I/O pins of the MCU. The MCU then uses a scanning ...
