This module is an isolated full-duplex differential line driver and receiver for TIA/EIA RS485/RS422 applications. The module is ideal for long transmission lines because the ground loop is broken to allow for a much larger common-mode voltage range...

With a code size of 1 KB on an ATtiny13A MCU, this tiny module measures voltages up to 22 volts and current up to 5 amps...

Texas Instruments introduced the family of voltage supervisors or reset ICs that can operate at high voltage levels while maintaining very low quiescent current across the whole VDD and temperature range...

STM32WB50 Value Line wireless microcontrollers from STMicroelectronics are a full and pin-compatible derivative of the STM32WB55 System-on-Chip, created to serve cost-sensitive connected devices that need to support Bluetooth® 5.0, ZigBee® 3.0, or OpenThread...

Within the charger product application area, Holtek is delighted to announce the release of its new charger application specific MCU, the HT45F5Q-3...

Renesas Electronics announced four new RX651 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) supplied in ultra-small 64-pin BGA and LQFP packages. The new lineup expands Renesas’ popular RX651 MCU Group with a 64-pin BGA package...

As compute-intensive, vision-based systems are increasingly integrated at the network edge, Field Programmable Gate Arrays are quickly becoming a preferred flexible platform for next-generation designs...

Inexpensive, 16-bit, monolithic DACs can serve almost all applications. However, some applications require unconventional approaches. This Design Idea design concerns circuitry I recently designed for a tunable-diode laser spectrometer...

Many devices require programming through a serial bus, such as I2C. The programming can be done during final test, after the circuit board has been assembled. In many cases, the pins used for programming can then be utilized for something else during normal operation...

In PIC microcontrollers, the MSSP module uses multiplexed pins for the I2C and SPI peripherals. There is typically no issue using either of the two peripherals. But what if both peripherals are needed simultaneously, without changing the microcontroller?...
