In designing µC-based systems, you often face a situation in which the µC has to respond to an external event happening at an uncertain moment in time. One example is receiving an echo from an object ...

We love interrupts in our microcontroller projects. If you aren’t already convinced, go read the first installment in this series where we covered the best aspects of interrupts. But everythi… ...

Welcome to part three of “Interrupts: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly”. We’ve already professed our love for interrupts, showing how they are useful for solving multiple common microcontroller tasks ...

This bit can be polled by the microcontroller, or an interrupt can be generated when it changes state. Additionally, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) in the microcontroller can measure the MVIO power ...

As portable systems become increasingly power-conscious, the need for smart power management becomes equally important. Besides the main processor, an auxiliary Microcontroller Unit (MCU) often ...

Riding the PC/104 bus in the company of a PIC18F8722 microcontroller from Microchip Technology, the MC104P controller module provides access to external memory and interrupts in the same manner as ...
