The audio player was built using an SD memory card and the ATtinyX5 series 8-pin AVR microcontroller. The SD audio player is able to output a wide frequency range audio signal since the ...

STMicroelectronics has added 8-pin packages to its STM32 microcontroller family, enabling designers to leverage 32-bit performance and low-power features in a small package for simple embedded designs ...

Eight-pin microcontrollers offer numerous peripheral features. However, the maximum number of I/O pins available is often limited to six, since two pins would be required for the chip's power supply.

Atmel is filling a pin-count gap in its AVR microcontroller range. “We received requests for 14-pin AVR devices,” said AVR marketing director Jukka Eskelinen. “ATtiny24, 44 and 84 devices complement ...

Whether you are creating a small Internet appliance, some hardware instrumentation, data loggers or an army of autonomous robots to do your bidding, in numerous situations you need the flexibility of ...

An inductor and 8-pin microcontroller are all that make up this barebones RFID tag. You might have done a double-take when first seeing the image above. After all, there’s nothing hooked up to the ...

Sometimes I am amazed by the ingenuity of a circuit. Sometimes I am amazed by the ingenuity of a circuit. I had such a moment when I first saw a 1997 application note for the PIC12C series of 8 pin ...

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 ...
