Interfacing real world devices to a microprocessor has become increasingly more difficult. It usually takes several discrete components to condition real world analog and digital before they can be ...

Even the simplest microcontroller system has to interface to the outside world in some way. There are many ways by which this is achieved and this chapter is a survey of some useful techniques. The ...

The most common method for interfacing multiple switches—multiplexing— allows for the connection of (N/2) 2 switches with N microcontroller IO lines. The method described below, which has its roots in ...

The usb2Sprite debugging interface targets Freescale Semiconductor's ColdFire and DSP 56300 microprocessor families. The device provides an embedded-system designer a USB 2.0 interface to the ...

RISC Microprocessors that use a reduced instruction set computer (RISC) design process a few simple instructions rather than many complex ones in order to speed operations. CISC Microprocessors that ...

SmartFan Cirrus is a user-programmable, microprocessor-based interface for DC fans with built-in speed control based on a pulse width modulation or voltage control input. It regulates fan speed from a ...
