Electromechanical components such as relays and switches often must undergo endurance tests that verify their reliability and safety. Regulatory standards typically have compliance criteria that ...
Microcontrollers contain a broad range of features due to the numerous end-use markets they address. Typical microcontrollers come in 8-, 16-, and 32-bit versions and commonly are used in consumer, ...
This 8051 microcontroller-based control circuit adjusts the speed of a small permanent-magnet dc motor via photosensors (see the figure). The circuit can find applications in light-tracking systems ...
Residential and commercial circuit breakers face three major challenges: detecting arc faults reliably, reducing false trips ...
Deep in the heart of your latest project lies a little silicon brain. Much like the brain inside your own bone-plated noggin, your microcontroller needs protection from the outside world from time to ...
Battery-charger-control designers face a fundamental choice: to use a part from the rich selection of dedicated charge-control ICs available from many vendors or to use a programmable microcontroller.
