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 ...

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 ...

When designing a multicontroller system, it is convenient to organize the communication between µCs via one wire line. Unfortunately, low-end µCs have no serial-interface capabilities like their more ...

Chandler, Ariz. – Microchip Technology's newest standalone controller-area network (CAN) device now offers the option to address serial communications challenges. The MCP2515 gives designers a CAN ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
