Simple Circuit µC acts as Dedicated Motor control - 09/11/98 EDN-Design Ideas - (Scroll to find this circuit design) Motion-control systems often use a PWM signal to control the duty cycle for a motor driver or amplifier module. Typical designs generate the PWM signals using µC with dedicated PWM output lines, such as the PIC16C65 (Microchip Technology, www. microchip. com) and the HC11 (Motorola Inc, www. motorola. com) . However, these µC may have more features than necessary for a motion-control system with multiple degrees of freedom. Design by Dylan Horvath, Gecko Sysytems Inc, Austin, TX
Simple Circuit 1.2-20V 1.5A Switching Regulator - This tiny regulator board outputs 1.2-20V from a higher voltage DC supply at currents up to 1.5A. It's small, efficient and cheap to build, with many handy features such as a very low drop-out voltage, little heat generation and electronic shut-down.__ SiliconChip
Simple Circuit 10 bit DAC for the Arduino using TLC274 opamp - Although this DAC works well you better take the new designs: 16-bit DAC or the Fast RC DAC. If you need a DAC for the Arduino, this 10 bit DAC is accurate, cheap and uses only few components. The Arduino processor, the ATmega328 / Atmega168, has ADC inputs but unfortunately no DAC outputs. Although the internal ADC contains a 10 bit DAC, this DAC can’t be used stand alone. Therefore I developed a 10 bit DAC, which is build with an integrator. In contrast to a PWM DAC, there is no ripple. __ Designed by © avdweb 2017

Simple Circuit CW Keyer based on Atmel ATtiny 2313 - This is a simple and small CW keyer project. It uses an ATMEL ATtiny 2313 (Atmel's ATtiny2313 page) microcontroller, which is a 20pin device with 2k flash memory. The firmware is written in C and uses less than 1k. The pin count would allow for the use of a 8 pin device but the 2313 was simply the part at hand __ Designed by © 2007 Michael Wichmann
Simple Circuit irrigation Controller with PIC - This is a simple one-valve irrigation controller made for our greenhouse. The code contains a software real-time clock (RTC) and a multiplexed 8-digit LED display and keyboard you can use in other projects. Turn on the sprinkler or the aquarium lighting for the same period of the day. You can choose to operate the output by every 2nd, 3rd day only. There is a manual start/stop button to immediately turn on or off the output, and a disable button to completely turn off automatic operation __ Designed by Peter Jakab
Simple Circuit logic analyzer pushes microcontroller to its limit - 12/07/00 EDN-Design Ideas - A simple logic-analyzer design is compatible with all versions of Windows and pushes the PIC 18C252 chip to its speed limit to achieve a 1-MHz sampling rate (Figure 1) . The circuit can examine three channels of relatively low-speed logic signals that have infrequent, or sparse, transitions. The analyzer can record only 510 transitions per run, but a run can last as long as several minutes, if necessary. Applications include monitoring the I/O of an IBM keyboard or printer port, TI-calculator intercommunication, and serial (RS-232) signals Design by Tom Lyons Fisher, Inexpensive Systems, Huntingdon, PA, and Michael Deskevich, Juniata College, Huntingdon, PA
Simple Circuit Microcontroller-Temperature Measurement Uses Only a Diode & a Capacitor - 12/05/08 EDN-Design Ideas - Discharging a capacitor through the reverse leakage of a PN junction allows you to measure ambient temperature. Using a PN-junction diode for temperature measurement usually depends on its 2‑mV/K temperature coefficient. Conventionally, you must amplify and digitize this voltage with an ADC before you can use the value in a microcontroller. Less well-known is the fact that the reverse current of a PN-junction diode shows a good exponential dependency over temperature; increasing the temperature by approximately 12K doubles the leakage (Figure 1) . An easy way to measure current over such a large range of two to three decades is to charge and discharge a capacitor and measure the time or frequency Design by Andreas Grun

Simple Circuit setup tests bit-error rate - 18-Mar-04 EDN-Design Ideas - Traditionally, the reception quality of a digital receiver is expressed in terms of BER (bit-error rate]. This figure is the proportion of received bit errors in a given period.

Sine wave oscillator - I introduce the sine wave oscillator which used the operational amplifier in this page. The Wien bridge sine wave oscillator to introduce is the oscillator which works in the oscillation by returning (positive feedback) the oscillation output to the input. Because there are few parts, the Wien bridge oscillator is the often used circuit. The point of this circuit is the negative feedback circuit to make the oscillation operation be stable. __ Designed by Seiichi Inoue
