Experience low power, high security, and reliable performance with PolarFire® Core & SoC FPGAs.

Actual microcontrollers have powerful bidirectional I/O ports, and you can use different techniques to fully exploit such capabilities. Recent Design Ideas described the “Charlieplexing” method as an ...

CAMBRIDGE, UK — NEC Electronics announces the 78K0/Ix2 LED microcontroller demonstration kit, enabling efficient and intelligent LED driver design without any additional driver ICs but the company's ...

Microcontroller port pins can typically be driven either high or low, or else be put into an "input" or high-impedance state. This circuit uses the three states to drive two separate LEDs with one ...

The LM3914 LED bar graph driver was an amazing chip back in the day. Along with the LM3915, its logarithmic cousin, these chips gave a modern look to projects, allowing dancing LEDs to stand in for a ...

Hi there, and welcome to Part 3 of this soon-to-be-heralded mega-mini-series. In Part 1, we discussed the first vacuum tube diodes, moved on to their solid-state (semiconductor) descendants, and then ...

The algorithm in this microcontroller design this design drives an LED matrix and provides digital-voltage-readout and bar-like dot displays, showing dots for a graphical output if the input value is ...

Arduino has launched its next generation of UNO boards, introducing a 32-bit Renesas microcontroller and Espressif ESP32-S3 module, one-click cloud connectivity and plenty of I/O plus a 12×8 red LED ...
