Fine tuning a crystal in code I’m thinking of making a clock (which would always be subject only to room temperature) using a 32.768 kHz xtal driving a counter. The xtal has 20 ppm frequency tolerance which I... |

Seeking easiest way to add Bluetooth to an embedded design I'd like to dip my toe into the Bluetooth pool by making a clock that is settable via BLE. I know it's overkill, but I'd like to keep the application as simple as possible... |

Seeking battery performance data in ultra low-power (uW) applications I'm considering a design that would be activated by a capacitive touch switch. The switch circuitry would be the only thing drawing power most of the time at 34uA and 3V.... |

Simulating uint64_t I have an ATMega128A application where I need to shift a field of 12 1s through a 40-bit long number, one bit at a time. It seems to me the easiest way to do this would be to use... |

Bench supply vs. chassis supply problem I'm building a system based on an ATMega128A. My board (which only draws about 25 mA) works fine when running off my bench supply's 5V. When I switch to the chassis... |

Selecting a zener diode for solenoid flyback suppression I'm low-side driving a 24V, 1.2A DC solenoid with a 30V MOSFET. I'd like to protect the MOSFET with a zener diode across the source and drain (cathode to drain, anode to source).... |

How to use memory mapped IO in ATMega32A The datasheet for the ATMega32A shows the IO ports as being memory mapped. E.g., the address for PORTA is given as 0x1B (0x3B). 1. What's the difference between... |

External storage: USB or SD card? I need to design a board that will have to access external, removable storage of less than 5MB. The CPU needs to be an AVR with a USART and a handful of GPIO. The most... |

OK to use a filter cap on RESET when using JTAG? I'm designing an ATMega32A board, which is programmed and debugged via the JTAG interface. The AVR042 app note recommends a .1 uF cap on reset unless you're using DebugWire... |
