Microchip has put its MPLAB Xpress integrated development environment (IDE) in the cloud. This a free IDE for PIC microcontrollers which automatic code generation and MPLAB XC compilers, support for ...

The circuit in Figure 1 uses only five I/O lines to drive a dot- or bar-graph display of 20 LEDs. Although this version of the design uses a small and inexpensive one-time-programmable microprocessor, ...

Microchip is to introduce five families of 8bit microcontrollers, sharing both its PIC and ex-Atmel AVR resources amongst new PICs and AVRs. Users who favour PIC or AVR should not be concerned, ...

At first glance, [RobBest]’s constant current source looks old school. The box is somewhat old-fashioned, featuring switches and binding posts. Most importantly, there’s a large analog meter ...

Microchip Technology expands its Arm Cortex‑M0+ microcontroller offering with the launch of the PIC32CM PL10 family.

Many PIC processors require 5-V power while being programmed, yet battery-powered systems may contain low-voltage devices that will be damaged at voltages above their maximum voltage ratings. In ...
