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 ...

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 ...

Microchip has introduced two flash versions of its 8-pin microcontroller family. Based on the company’s high-end PIC18 series, the PIC18F010 and PIC18F020 offer 10 Mips performance and include 2 or ...

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 ...
