Voltage-to-current converters that feed grounded loads are common in industrial measurement and control applications. The conventional "textbook" circuit uses both positive and negative supply rails.

While DSPs are the primary controllers in uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) with power-factor correction (PFC), ac generation and battery management, microcontrollers serve secondary functions for ...

Whilst programmable analog may never attain the performance of the highest-end analog discretes, microcontrollers are beginning to take on more advanced analog functions. Haakon Skar, Atmel's ...

Direct sensor-to-microcontroller interface techniques enable the conversion of physical measurands into digital signals without dedicated analogue-to-digital converter chips or elaborate conditioning ...
