Serial buses dot the landscape of embedded design. From displays to storage to peripherals, serial interfaces make communications possible. Many serial communication interfaces compete for use in ...

The usual way send data from a microcontroller is either over RS-232 with MAX232 serial ICs, crystals, and a relatively ancient computer, or by bit-banging the USB protocol and worrying about driver ...

Microchip announces the PICkit™ Serial Analyzer. This new tool enables design engineers to easily and cost-effectively interface with embedded circuits within serial systems using any Windows®-based ...

The UART, or universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter, is one of the most used device-to-device communication protocols. This article shows how to use a UART as a hardware communication protocol by ...

Just like a PC’s USB port, the serial port on a PC can also in some cases serve as a power supply. A USB port can provide as much as 500 mA at 5V, but a serial port provides less power. Even with the ...

Konstanz, Germany -- February 5, 2009 -- Today, Hyperstone introduced its high-performance E2 – 32-Bit RISC/DSP Microcontroller with additional on-chip highlights such as programmable serial ...

Düsseldorf -- June 27, 2013 – Toshiba Electronics Europe (TEE) has announced a new ARM® CortexTM M3® -based microcontroller that combines large capacity memory with a range of serial interfaces, ...

It’s pretty common to have at least a couple of meters around to measure different values of a circuit at the same time. Where [Emilio P.G. Ficara] ran into a problem was logging the data from both at ...

Freescale’s 45-nm SOI-based MPC8569E multicore microcontroller incorporates intelligent peripherals to target high-speed communications applications such as gateways and wireless infrastructure. The ...

A bootloader makes it possible to update a product’s firmware in the field. Common communication interfaces like UART, I 2 C, SPI or USB can be used to update the firmware, which typically involves a ...
