An Arduino me-too-alike for PIC16F873A
Posted on: 14 Jul 2017
We’ve all done it – looked sideways with not a little envy at a range of add-ons for a power tool, and wished that they were available for the one we bought. There is no ’standard’ footprint for a PIC Micro-controller development/experimental board. Vendors have chosen to provide their own ‘take’ in each case, and […]
Fujitsu sampling 1Mbit FRAM in WL-CSP package
Posted on: 13 Jul 2017
Fujitsu is sampling a 1Mbit SPI FRAM in an 8-pin WL-CSP device measuring 3.09×2.28×0.33mm which reduces the surface mounting area by 77%, and the device height by 80% compared to an S0P-8 package. The WL-CSP package makes FRAM suitable for wearable and sensor applications which need small device dimensions, extremely low power consumption for maximum […]

PIC based WWVB clock
Posted on: 13 Jul 2017
Introduction There are many DIY versions of WWVB clock designs available on the web. Commercial “atomic” clocks are inexpensive and widely available, but I wanted to try my hand at designing one to gain insight into WWVB reception and to learn a little about programming a PIC microcontroller. My version is not the simplest available, […]
Melexis evaluation kit supports ToF sensors
Posted on: 12 Jul 2017
Melexis is supporting its time-of-flight (ToF) sensing technology with the EVK75023 evaluation kit which accompanies its MLX75023 QVGA (320x240pixels) resolution ToF sensors. This new hardware platform enables implementation of more advanced human machine interfaces (HMIs).Co-developed with BlueTechnix, the EVK75023 is a 130x105x60mm board for assessment of ToF sensing capabilities under challenging conditions, where the detrimental […]
