All of Microchip’s baseline PIC microcontrollers have internal 4-MHz oscillators, which are useful for freeing up one or two pins for I/O use and allowing you to build minimal-component-count designs ...

Microcontrollers commonly add intelligence or digital functions to products, but they can also provide a variety of analog signals. An 18-pin PIC 16C54 microcontroller, combined with an inexpensive, 8 ...

A glittering hunk of crystal gets its iridescence from a highly regular atomic structure. Frank Wilczek, the 2012 Nobel ...

Crystal oscillators are incredibly useful components, but they come with one little snag: their oscillation is temperature-dependent. For many applications the relatively small deviation is not a ...

At the IEEE International Solid State Circuits Conference in San Francisco earlier this year, Texas Instruments revealed details of its on-chip bulk acoustic wave oscillator technology, that can ...

Have you ever started a project, run into an issue, started a new project to solve the issue, and completely forgot about the original project? [Andy] went down a rabbit hole of needing a tool to ...

STMicroelectronics’ STM32F0x2 microcontroller family, based on the ARM Cortex-M0 core, supports CAN and integrates a full-speed USB 2.0 controller with a self-calibrated clock system to simplify ...
