A fundamental skill that embedded software developers need to master is understanding how to write drivers. Within an embedded system, there a typically two types of drivers: microcontroller ...

This article is part of the Ideas for Design Series: Vol. 3, No. 8. In many applications, accurately sensing the position of an electrically controlled mechanical device such as a motor is critical.

Jun 2nd, 2014 -- DCD, celebrating our 15th anniversary, has released the D16950, which is an IP Core of a Uni-versal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART), functionally compatible to the OX16C950.

Endian format refers to how multibyte variables are stored in a byte-wide memory. In 'big endian' format, the most significant byte is stored in the first byte (lowest address). In 'little endian' ...

ARM has introduced many processors. Each set or groups of processors are having different core and different Features. A new entrant or Designer to the ARM can make use of this paper for easy ...
