New Software Promises to Radically Simplify Chip Design

In 1975, Intel founder Gordon Moore predicted that the number of transistors on a single microchip would double every two years. He was right: silicon wafers that in the 1970s held just a few thousand transistors now routinely contain tens of billions of components. That makes chip design an extraordinarily complex and costly process, with

Using Microchip’s MPLAB X IDE and Programming the PIC18F

Overview This guide provides a step-by-step guide on how to use the MPLAB X software by Microchip to set up aproject, write code and generate a programming file for the PIC microcontroller. It then explains how toprogram the PIC (in this case a PIC18F25K22) using the SuperPRO programmer and the file generatedfrom MPLAB X. Procedure

What Managers Can Learn From the Microchip Industry

Tuck professor Constance Helfat proposes a new theory of firm integration based on the costs of technological innovation When Jack Kilby invented the integrated circuit—now known as a microchip—at Texas Instruments in the late 1950s, he unwittingly launched a multi-trillion-dollar industry that facilitated the information age. Because of the nature of the invention, Gordon Moore,

NEW MICROCHIP IMPROVES FUTURE OF SELF-POWERED WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY

Energy from your body heat and motion could fuel the future of preventative health care. Researchers at the University of Virginia are developing a low-power microchip that can support on-body, real-time health monitoring. By harvesting all its needed energy from sources like body heat, motion and sunlight, the chip will provide an extremely compact, long-lasting

Packing power into smaller spaces

Researchers create new polymer-based electrical insulation for smaller microchips From slimmer laptops to smaller smartphones, all of our most-used devices rely on increasingly smaller microchips. But, in recent years, researchers have seemingly hit the limit on how far these chips can shrink. One of the biggest hurdles to putting more circuits and power onto a

How to Build a Self Navigating Robot

This is a detailed tutorial on how to realize a robot starting from scratch, and giving it the ability to navigate autonomously in an unknown environment. All the typical arguments involved with robotics will be covered: mechanics , electronics and programming . The whole robot is designed to be made by anyone at home without professional (i.e. expensive) tools and equipment.

8 Bit Serial Digital to Analog (5v Range) Converter for Microcontrollers (when TTL and Resistors Is All You’ve Got)

So I needed a DAC (digital to analog converter) to use with my pic12F675 , and for those of you who have never heard of this little fella, it’s an 8 pin microcontroller from Microchip that has only 6 I/O pins… This is a very simple circuit that converts Digital data (serial input) to Analog

PIC16F1847 and AR1010 Based FM Radio Music Box

This is my first Instructable post. I made a Digital FM Radio box using this cheap AR1010 FM Radio receiver module that I bought from Ebay and a PIC16F1847 Microcontroller from MICROCHIP. Why PIC’s? Why not use Arduino? Because i have bunch of these IC’s stocked in the parts bin. And also because most of the Digital FM Radio instructables

LCD Interface With PIC16F877A Microcontroller

PIC MCUs and other MCUs can control such LCDs easily using either 8 data bits method or just 4 data bits, which we will be using today. Parts needed are: 1- PIC16F877A or any PIC MCU. 2- Any 16×2 LCD. 3- Breadboard. 4- Breadboard wires. 5- Soldering station -> just to prepare the LCD itself with pins. 6- MPLAB
