Part 1 Input Card The input cards come in several types, each tailored to a different type (or types) of input. The first input card we designed is capable of measuring temperature through either a thermistor or thermocouple. Work on the next input ...

PID stands for proportional-integral-derivative controller. This is a device used in control systems or simply to control other devices or other electronic systems. The main function of this controller is to help regulate or maintain the level of ...

William Swanson Electronic Design Low-voltage microcontrollers often need to control higher-voltage loads via high-side switching. This simple two-transistor circuit enables that control and provides over-voltage protection. Although ...

Application Note JN-AN-1166 Version 1.1 December 2013 This application note provides and describes a set of NXP software drivers for use with ‘smart lamps’. These software drivers are intended to be used in applications that run on ...

Application Note TB3103 October 2013 Mihnea Rosu-Hamzescu This technical brief describes a synchronous buck power supply, based on the PIC16F753 using 100% analog control for output regulation. The implementation has the advantage of not using any ...

Simple DACs realized by lowpass filtering microcontroller-generated pulse-width-modulated (PWM) signals have a response that is typically a tenth of the PWM frequency. This Design Idea is a novel implementation of a previously published method [ 1 ...

Application Note AN4313 November 2013 This application note describes the layout and mechanical design guidelines used for touch sensing applications with projected sensors. This document describes only what is specifically related to projected ...

Application Note AN4312 September 2013 This application note describes the layout and mechanical design guidelines used for touch sensing applications with surface sensors. Capacitive sensing interfaces provide many advantages compared to ...

Application Note AN4277 November 2013 The purpose of this document is to describe STM32F30x/31x timer break feature and show how it can be used with other STM32F3 internal resources for over-current and over-voltage protection in applications such ...

Application Note AN804 November 2013 This application note highlights the differences between the C8051F320/1 or C8051F326/7 and C8051F38x MCU families. These families are largely code-compatible, requiring very minor changes when porting firmware ...
