This simple circuit can be used to program the PIC16F84 and similar “flash memory” type parts. It uses a cheap 555 timer IC to generate the programming voltage from a +5V rail, allowing the circuit to ...

If you have an idea for a fairly simple USB device but don’t want to invest in the more expensive microcontrollers, this library will be of interest to you. It’s a software implementation of the ...

USB interfaces are everywhere today, with low cost flash memory drives and all kinds of USB peripherals readily available. But these are very much focused on the PC market. Attempt to make use of ...

Chandler, Ariz.– With full-speed USB 2.0 connectivity built-in, Microchip Technology Inc.'s newest flash PIC microcontrollers are said to provide a complete embedded-control solution for designers ...

Arguably, Microchip’s PIC microcontrollers do not get enough posts here. One of the drawbacks for some of us is that Linux support for PICs is not very well known. The information is out there, but no ...

PIC developers don't have to wait for USB support in microchip's product line any longer. The Full-Speed USB PIC family, which comprises four chips so far, is topped by the 48-MHz PIC18F4550. This ...
