The TSS - Touch Sensing Software solution transforms a standard micrcontroller into a proximity capacitive touch sensor controller. The touch sensor controller has the ability to control multiple touch pad configurations and mechanical keys while maintaining its standard MCU control functionality.

The television has come a long way since it was first made commercially available in the 1930s. A few decades later, the color TV was developed from the earlier monochrome television technology. The next big development was the introduction of digital TV and eventually High-Definition Television or HDTV in the 1990s. We can now watch HDTV materials from different sources like terrestrial or satellite transmission, cable, IPTV and optical media such as DVD-HD or Blu Ray. But what could be the next big thing in television technology?

Freescale has developed a scalable portfolio of low-power microcontroller solutions blending leadingedge battery saving technology with a range of performance and peripheral options.

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a type of transmission technology used in delivering voice communications over IP networks such as the Internet or ethernet networks. It is a communications mode that migrated from several traditional forms and eventually to the Internet.

PCI Express is a very popular interface standard with the transfer rate ranging from 500MBit/s to 8GBit/s (PCIe 2.0) in each direction, providing a high-speed bus for many devices such as graphics cards, sound cards, NICs, and Modems for computers and other embedded applications. By taking advantage of the standard's high-speed switch mechanism, PCI Express has almost replaced the general-purpose PCI expansion bus, the high-end PCI-X bus and the AGP graphics card interface.

LTE targets higher throughput, lower latency and efficient IP backhaul compared to previous 3GPP generations, to offer a new mass deployable mobile network technology which should herald a new age of rich multimedia and real-time services.

The MPL115A is a barometer with digital output (I2C/SPI) for cost-sensitive applications. A MEMS pressure sensor with a conditioning IC provides accurate pressure measurement. The MPL115A enables altitude detection, weather changes and will increase data capacity in hard disk-drives. It also provides absolute pressure measurement for industrial equipment.

Topic of this second issue of AVR TV is ATMEL's launch of new 32-bit microcontroller, the UC3.

The main area for application of brushless direct current motors (BLDC) is positioning. In this article I am going to describe a simple solution to operation with two phase sine/cosine BLDC.

Digital Signal Controller (DSC) motor control applications allow precise programming of drive waveforms and control over power consumption, while reducing noise. They also provide either vector or vectorless control depending on application need and motor type; the DSC type can be selected to match exact design requirements.

Hi today with us is Ruth Rhodes. She is the senior product manager for developer technology at Freescale Semiconductor. Ruth is going to talk with us today about the CodeWarrior development studio for Microcontrollers. So Ruth, what is CodeWarrior for the Freescale controller continuum?

Freescale Semiconductor has introduced the MC9S08LG32 microcontroller (MCU) family for industrial applications.

These simple devices have many different applications and most of them are for adjustment. One of the applications is brightness, then volume, contrast, filter adjustment, offset, bias and gain so, quite a few different applications and some of the end products would be base stations or LCD panels, portable products, factory adjustments so there's quite a few different possibilities and DCPs can be used anywhere an adjustment is needed.

JS16 devices are software compatible with the JM family, providing a direct migration path to higher performing devices including USB OTG and 32-bit performance with ColdFire.

A new RISC Netbook was (finally) released at CES2009. The LimeBook from Tsinghua Tongfang (THTF, China) Co. is an MPC5121e based Netbook.

Although looked down upon, and looking very technologically backward, the tires are actually one of the most critical elements in a car (old cars did have

Your Electronics Open Source participates at Reddit's Feed A Need project.

You only need 3 things to build a gps tracker: gps module A1035D, mobile phone Motorola C168i, microcontroller ATTINY84-20PU... and just a bit of patience.

I heard once one guy telling one of his friends : "I'd give my right arm to know what's inside this portable device." He didn't know he was already holding an Arm in his hands.... since ARM designs

Today GPS is involved in many location based services, more and more mobile equipment are integrated GPS feature inside. This article will cover GPS receiver module design based upon existing chip-set,
