2. The detailed circuit uses five standard transistors plus passive components to implement the one-pin battery-monitor solution. When the microcontroller decides it needs to know the battery ...

Chris Gammell wants to know: What’s in your circuit toolbox? Personally, mine is somewhat understocked. I do know that in one of my journals, probably from back in the 1980s, I scribbled down… ...

However, microcontroller circuits and firmware are normally more expensive to design and test and often cost more to produce than chargers employing dedicated charge-control ICs. Charging requirements ...

You should see the number 3.7V written on the battery itself somewhere. So, it is very easy to energize today’s 3.3V microcontroller circuits using 3.7V lithium-ion battery packs just by adding ...

This simple circuit based on a PIC microcontroller generates a Gaussian analog output. However, unlike most circuits, it does not need a DAC to transform the digital bits into an analog signal ...

To this end, the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft is running the ALBACOPTER® and VE-DIVA-IC research projects, among others, which deal with the research field of functional safety of electronic circuits. With ...
