Addressing the challenge of sensor-based IoT systems that combine analog functionality and digital control capability, Microchip Technology Inc. has introduced the first PIC and AVR microcontrollers ...

[SM6VFZ] designed, built and tested a switched-mode DC-DC boost regulator using the core independent peripherals (CIP) of an ATtiny214 micro-controller as a proof of concept, and it looks pretty ...

Get ready to rumble! [Thierry] made the exact same Hello-World-esque project with two microcontrollers (that are now technically produced by the same firm!) to see how the experience went. It’s not ...

The ATA6286C is an embedded ultra-low-power flash 8-bit AVR with on-chip sensitive LF receiver, temperature sensor and integrated UHF transmitter IC. It features a programmable 125 kHz wake-up ...

I've been interested in getting into microcontroller programming lately, and I've been looking at Microchips PIC16F and PIC18F series (especially the PIC16F), and also Atmel's ATtiny and ATmega series ...

Microchip announces the release of MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment version 5.05 which beta supports the majority of AVR microcontrollers. This release will allow designers who traditionally ...

Three common applications where a new class of 8-bit MCUs with advanced analog filtering capabilities support modern systems. As embedded designs have evolved, the 8-bit MCU has evolved from simple ...

The AVR 8-bit microcontroller's modified Harvard architecture was introduced in 1997. These Atmel microcontrollers are popular among a reasonably large number of developers because they provide decent ...
