Here is how it works: The Ctrl_Status point ties to an I/O pin of a conventional microcontroller. Unless you want the ... which then turns off Q1 and lets M1’s gate go to ground, turning the MOSFET ON ...

and luckily there are a few breadboard-friendly microcontrollers available in a DIP package. One of these chips is NXP’s LPC810M021FN8 – a tiny little 8-pin DIP with 4 kB of Flash ...

By monitoring the outputs with a microcontroller it is possible to determine the ... usually one side has 3-pins (two coding pins and one common/ground pin) and the other side has 2-pins (N/O switch ...

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 ...

The comparator is comparing the vibration signal with ground. This is a simplification ... very low cost and very small. The 6-pin, SOT-23 PIC10F204 microcontroller fits this description very ...

Atmel has introduced a 6-pin microcontroller. The 8bit AVR ATtiny10 has 1kbyte of flash and 32byte of SRAM in a 2x3mm SOT-23 package. Performance is claimed to be up to 12MIPS, and peripherals include ...

an 11-channel 10-bit analog-to-digital converter and more—all on a single tiny 20-pin DIP. A number of factors make the AVR microcontrollers a good choice, especially for beginners. AVRs are: Easy to ...
