The real world, where we live day by day, is the realm of analogue signals. Read this overview about ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) and DAC (Digital to Analog Converter)

How to make your project build blazing fast using a build server farm. As the latest system software gets more and more complicated, the building time considerably grows.

The analog to digital converters (ADC or A/D only) are electronic circuits that are able to convert continuous signals (e.g. a voltage) to discrete digital numbers.

The L298 (see the datasheet) is a high current dual full-bridge driver created to accept standard TTL logic levels and drive inductive loads such as solenoids, relays, stepping and DC motors.

This article is about howto add mass storage to your embedded applications using FAT16 and FAT32. When you work in the embedded world you will come across an application requiring greater memory storage space than is available in most microcontrollers.

RTOS stands for Real Time Operating System. An embedded system is a combination of hardware and software integration, accomplished for a specific function.

There are several digital TV standards developed such as: DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting – Terrestrial) ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee), ISDB-T (Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting-Terrestrial)

Microchip developed a 28-pin Ethernet controller with SPI interface (datasheet). The applications are: building automation, home control, VoIP, industrial automation, security and instrumentation.

This article, ARM: Tutorials and Hacks, is full of informations about howto hack an ARM. You'll find tons of tutorials and hacks.

ARM is by now as God - it is in everything: in our mobile phones, in our GPS, PDA or in our laptops. Let's see a list with 50 products that use ARM Linux technology.

Starter Kit is very useful to learn and develop software on ARM. I merged Starter Kit and OEM module information, because all OEM modules supplier will offer corresponding Starter Kit or evaluation board for design startup.

The STi7100 is a single-chip MPEG decoder. This device help you to develop the HDTV-oriented projects. The STi7100 gives high performance for low-cost high-definition systems.

Fancy to know how to: connect a PIC microcontroller (PIC micro) to a TELIT module, set up the GSM Module to handle SMS. And much more.... Looks juicy, so what are you waiting for?

The capacitors are the most used electronic components. According the construction technology and their use they can have different shapes: from big cylindrical containers (electrolytic capacitors) to tiny drops (tantalum capacitors).

A flash memory is an essential component in an electronics device to store code and data. Every designer expects a perfect non-volatile memory to meet their requirements. The electronics devices are growing very fast, so we can find a variety of flash memories. However, the flash memories vary in timing, bus width, protocol, rewrite lifecycle, multi-level capability and native support of microprocessor. So the designers have to study the available products to select a proper device for their applications according to the storage purpose, interface and timing.

I heard once one guy telling one of his friends : "I'd give my right arm to know what's inside this portable device." He didn't know he was already holding an Arm in his hands.... since ARM designs the technology that lies at the heart of advanced digital products, from wireless, networking and consumer entertainment solutions to imaging, automotive, security and storage devices. Learn more about this embedded processor.

Photovoltaic cell Vs photosynthesis process. Let's see what they have in common (if they have something in common).

Are you afraid that your circuit could be damaged by an overvoltage? Include the hardware protection listed in the following paragraphs to protect your hardware!

For an embedded system with USB that requires recharging of Lithium batteries there are many considerations to be made before you can safely, accurately and quickly recharge the batteries.
