Inexpensive, 16-bit, monolithic DACs can serve almost all applications. However, some applications require unconventional approaches. This Design Idea design concerns circuitry I recently designed for ...

While the simplistic answer to the headline is four bits, it’s actually quite a loaded question. A four-bit increase in the scope’s resolution would produce a theoretical improvement of 16 times in ...

What’s the cost of an underused hardware resource? If you spec your microcontroller to have a 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) but only require 8 bits, you’ve paid for extra performance that ...

We’ve come to the point where we need to define an assembly language for our 4-Bit HRRG Computer, but first we need to consider certain concepts. These days, we are used to programming our computers ...

Modern embedded designs require a wide range of capabilities, including low power support, high performance/throughput, function-rich peripherals, different ...
