Every peripheral device (keyboard, modem, monitor, etc.) requires a control circuit that interfaces with the computer's processor (CPU). These circuits are either built into the chips on the ...

Part of setting up a microcontroller when writing a piece of firmware usually involves configuring its connections to the outside world. You define a mapping of physical pins to intenral peripherals ...

Maximal Output Admissible Sets (MOAS) are the set of all initial states and references such that the output response is always constraint admissible. Introduced in [1], the MOAS holds a special place ...

Fig 1. An SPI-based output driver (in this case, an L9822 octal relay driver from STMicroelectronics) can be used to provide a random mix of I/O pins at the chip’s output. The circuit in (a) senses a ...

Some applications require a positive voltage to be generated from a negative input voltage. This can be done either by using a transformer based topology, such as a flyback converter, or with a ...

When analog circuits mix with digital, the former are sometimes dissatisfied with the latter’s usual single supply rail. This creates a need for additional, often negative polarity, voltage sources ...
