Seven-segment displays are needed in many instrument designs. In conventional microcontroller-based designs, four output port lines are allocated for one seven-segment display. Figure 1 shows the ...

While working with a 10-bit DI-184 module from Dataq to monitor and display vibration-sensor data, I found that, although the chart displays a time index, this time reference is not visible in the ...

Eight-pin microcontrollers offer numerous peripheral features. However, the maximum number of I/O pins available is often limited to six, since two pins would be required for the chip's power supply.

The scheme in Figure 1 reduces system acoustic noise by running system fans at their optimum speeds for a given temperature. IC 1 combines ±1°C-accurate temperature measurement of three temperatures ...
