This application note demonstrates the implementation of an interrupt-driven UART, an on-chip peripheral block featured in Zilog’s Z8 Encore! XP and Z8 Encore! MC families of microcontrollers. This ...

Edge-triggered interrupts are useful in microcontroller (MCU) applications for processing asynchronous events like switch closures, level transitions, and pulses. However, low-cost MCUs offer limited ...

Zilog introduces ZDU0110RFX Digital Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) device that is based on advanced MCU technology for industrial, automotive and telecommunication applications. It ...

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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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' ...
