More applications for automotive microcontrollers (MCUs) emerge practically every day. Until recently most of these chips were used to implement and enhance a vehicle’s added-value features. That is ...

[Hugatry] wanted to replace the adjustment pot on an LM2596 buck converter with a microprocessor-controlled voltage. The regulator IC uses a divider to generate a 1.25V reference from the output. The ...

The new MCX microcontroller (MCU) portfolio features four new series of devices, built on a common platform and supported by NXP’s widely adopted MCUXpresso suite of development tools and software to ...

In recent years, integrated platforms equipped with microcontrollers (with Arduino probably being the best-known brand) have been gaining popularity.

When designing a system, one of the most important design decisions is choosing what voltage domain(s) to use. Some voltage domains, such as 5 V, are good for noisy and harsh operating environments ...

The evolution of microcontrollers (MCUs) has significantly transformed embedded systems, shifting from simple, standalone processors to complex, multifunctional units that rival traditional systems-on ...

From Caesar ciphers to AES and RSA, Practical Microcontroller Cryptography shows how cryptography actually runs on ...

Supplying power to a device, board or system is, by definition, an analog function that is characterized with parameters such as voltage, current and efficiency. However, the increased performance of ...
