A microcontroller is embedded inside of a system to control a single function in a device. It uses its central processor to interpret data it receives from its I/O peripherals. The information that the microcon
ADigital to Analog Convertercommonly referred asDAC,D/AorD2Ais a device that converts binary values (0s and 1s) to a set of continuous analog voltages. There are many techniques in which this is done, each with its own advantage and disadvantage. In this article we will learnhow a DAC ...
What is a microcontroller? A microcontroller unit (MCU) is essentially a small computer on a single chip. It is designed to manage specific tasks within an embedded system without requiring a complex operating system. These compact integrated circuits (ICs) contain a processor core (or cores), ...
Amicrocontrolleris a small chip with several input and output pins. You can write code, for example, to set an output to be HIGH or LOW. And if you connect aLight-Emitting Diode (LED)to that output, the LED will turn on and off, depending if the output is HIGH or LOW. This is re...
Possibly two of the most widely used types are DRAM and SRAM memory, both of which are used as microcontroller / microprocessor and computer memory. Of these two SRAM is more expensive than DRAM. However SRAM is faster and consumes less power especially when idle....
System on Chip, referred to as Soc, is also a system on a chip. In a narrow sense, it is the chip integration of the core of the information system, which is to integrate the key components of the system on one chip; in a broad sense, SoC is a micro-mini
its VINvoltage is 15 V and its integrated FETS have a 4 A rating. The regulator was designed with a highly accurate temperature control in mind. It uses an integrated 25-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to receive information from the serial peripheral interface ...
A microcontroller board, RTOS, or operating system supported by MicroPython is called a MicroPython Port. It is important to know that many features of core MicroPython may be unavailable for a particular port, i.e., it may not be supported in a given microcontroller, RTOS, or operating syste...
Introducing the OpenMV Cam, a small, low-powered microcontroller board made for easy machine vision applications. Unlike Arduino or other microcontrollers,MicroPythonOS is used instead of C/C+. This makes dealing with complex outputs of machine algorithms and working with high-level data structures ...
Smart AFEs bring the full functionality of an entire signal chain into one device offering ADC inputs, NVM, DAC and PWM outputs, along with several interfacing choices. Additional Resources • Watch this article's companion marketing video, "What is a smart AFE?" to learn more about TI's...
