When you need an analog output from a microcontroller that does not have a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), you can connect an external DAC chip. But for a cheaper solution, use a pulse-width ...

Most projects are built on abstractions. After all, few of us can create our own wire, our own transistors, or our own integrated circuits. A few months ago, [Julian Ilett] found a problem using the ...

Mayhew Labs have unveiled a new DAC add-on board they have created for the Arduino platform in the form of the Extended DAC Shield that takes the form of a high-speed, precision, eight channel, -10V ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Sometimes a design needs more DACs than the mixed-signal microcontroller has available. An easy solution is to put in a ...

Among all the Arduino boards, the Uno is most folks' go-to choice, and for good reason. It's the perfect platform to get started with Arduino, it's capable enough to handle a wide range of tasks, and ...

Back in October I was pondering the creation of accurate micro-voltages from a microcontroller. What makes this so difficult is the voltage offset created by current in the microcontroller bond wire, ...

There was a time when an "honest" (e.g., DNL 1/2 LSB) 16-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) was an expensive, premium component. Nowadays they're almost jellybeans ...
