Multi-Voltage I/O (MVIO) is a new peripheral in the AVR® DB microcontroller family. Using one of the on-board operational amplifiers (OPAMPs), the I/O bank with MVIO can be powered using only a single jumper wire. This video will also show the modifications required for the AVR® DB Curiosity Nano.
The Analog-to-Digital Converter with Computation and Context (ADCCC) is a new version of the ADC that adds context saving and channel sequencing. These features allow the ADC to store and load settings and results from the ADC without using the CPU.
Build a modular I2C water quality monitoring system for sensing pH, water level, and temperature using several PIC16F15245 Microcontrollers as both I2C controllers and receivers.
The PIC18-Q84 family of 8-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) combines an extensive array of Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) with Controller Area Network Flexible Data Rate (CAN FD) for automotive interface and smart sensor networks.
Learn more about the configurations of the integrated OPAMP(s) on the PIC®18-Q41 and AVR® DB.
This video covers an overview of the integrated OPAMP Peripheral on PIC® and AVR® Microcontrollers and common use cases.
This video walks you through simulating and setting up the integrated OPAMPs in PIC18-Q41 and AVR DB with MPLAB MINDI, MCC, and START.
The AVR DB MCU family builds upon the low-power performance of the AVR® core with a selection of Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) and a fully loaded Intelligent Analog portfolio.
Whether you’re designing a smart building sensor network or the latest wearable tech, the PIC16F152xxx MCUs provide the perfect starting point for your next design. With a 10-bit ADC and a “just-the-essentials” feature set, these MCUs are ideal for sensor interface, simple real-time control applications. All in a small, affordable package that enables you to deploy intelligent systems at a large scale.
