Inside any electronic device, from an old television remote to a global positioning system, there will be at least one microcontroller unit (MCU) and, in many cases, several. MCUs are used in ...

When designing a system, one of the most important design decisions is choosing what voltage domain(s) to use. Some voltage domains, such as 5 V, are good for noisy and harsh operating environments ...

While DSPs are the primary controllers in uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) with power-factor correction (PFC), ac generation and battery management, microcontrollers serve secondary functions for ...

Microcontroller applications often have low-level sensor signals and moderate power-drive circuitry, in addition to the microcontrollers. A peaceful coexistence with these three extremes requires a ...
