Using a 20-MHz crystal on pins 2 and 3 of the PIC allows for higher baud rates of up to 115,200 bit/s in its UART interface as opposed to the maximum 9,600 bit/s achievable by using the internal 8 ...

Sunnyvale, Calif.&#8212Maxim touts its MAX16806 EEPROM-programmable driver, for high-brightness LEDs in automotive interior dome, map lighting, and courtesy light applications, as the first that does ...

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 ...
