Most current microcontrollers offer I/O ports that can change their functions during program execution. As outputs, the circuits can sink and source reasonably large amounts of current. This Design ...

This Design Idea shows how a single microcontroller port can drive a lot of output lines through shift register. In this case we use the shift register with strobe control to achieve perfect output ...

In portable and space-constrained systems designers have the option to use microcontrollers with integrated analogue-to-digital converters (ADCs) or lower resolution ADCs with preamplifier circuitry.

There are currently around 600 programming languages to choose from, so picking the one that’s right for you can be pretty difficult. But if you’re looking for a language that’s incredibly popular, ...
