We find it interesting that PIC and AVR programming is very common in hobby electronics but ARM doesn’t have nearly the same foothold. This is partly because there’s a knowledge barrier involved with ...

Automatic baud-rate detection is desirable in many applications. Microchip’s standard USART module that the company embeds in most of its PIC microcontrollers lends itself to a simple and easily ...

Microchip Technology Inc., and Source Electronics Corp., have developed an automated high-volume programming service for customers utilizing Microchip's PIC10F family of microcontrollers in 6-pin, SOT ...

Microchip has added more memory and 14 new programming instructions, including “C” efficiency optimisations to its mid-range 8-bit PIC microcontrollers. The MCUs now have program flash addressability ...

When working on a project, plenty of us will reach for an Atmel microcontroller because of the widespread prevalence of the Arduino platform. A few hackers would opt for a bit more modern part like an ...

Microchip PIC chip applications have traditionally been programmed using the MPLAB or MPLABX Integrated Development Environment (IDE) development tools. These coding tools allow hardware engineers to ...

USB interfaces are everywhere today, with low cost flash memory drives and all kinds of USB peripherals readily available. But these are very much focused on the PC market. Attempt to make use of ...
