Microcontrollers – Part 4: Analog-To-Digital Converter

  
 
     

     Tweet      It’s time to meet again with our little friend: CPU Monkey – the “manager” of all processes into our virtual Microcontroller.       Today the CPU Monkey will measures the analog signals, digitizing them by using the built-in ADC engine, and next to write the results into MCU’s structured memory array.    Sounds sophisticated?  No, it … Read more

Microcontrollers – Part 3: How They Work

  
 
     

     Tweet      In the Previous Part 2, we started discussing to microcontroller’s memory arrays – these fundamentally necessary and important modules.    For clearness in a description, we decided to use the CPU Monkey association, not only as a joke.      We learned the Ports types, Clocking circuitry – taking the rhythm of work on the low-level instruction set (remember Schiffer of … Read more

Microcontrollers – Part 2: Uncovering

  
 
     

     Tweet     Let’s continue with the microcontrollers – these smart “centipedes” all around us.  In Every Smart TV, in every modern kitchen device, even in every car there are more than one.    In Part 1 we described in few words, what of a kind can be configured the I/O ports.   We continue our “trip” … Read more
