What is the Typical Factory Yield Rate of the MCU You Use?

What is the Typical Factory Yield Rate of the MCU You Use?

The factory defect rate of an MCU (Microcontroller Unit), usually expressed in PPM (Parts Per Million), is a highly variable value that depends on several key factors. For mainstream, mature MCU manufacturers and product lines, the factory defect rate can typically be controlled at a very low level, generally ranging from 10 PPM to 100 … Read more

Is VSS Directly Connected to VSSA Inside the MCU? Neither!

Is VSS Directly Connected to VSSA Inside the MCU? Neither!

First, the answer: Inside the MCU chip, a resistor (or an equivalent “weak connection”) is placed between VSS and VSSA, rather than a direct short circuit or complete open circuit. This is based on the core ideas of “single-point grounding” and “noise isolation”, but also requires additional consideration of the physical realities and reliability of … Read more

Introduction to Interrupt Processes

Introduction to Interrupt Processes

15.2 Introduction to Interrupt Processes When an interrupt occurs, it first passes through the IRQ register. When the IRQ register detects an interrupt, it sends an interrupt signal to the Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC) of the central processor. When the NVIC detects the interrupt request, it suspends the corresponding interrupt service routine (ISR). After … Read more

UART Serial Port Software Development Process (Based on MCU)

UART Serial Port Software Development Process (Based on MCU)

Preparation Work Hardware Confirm the MCU serial port (USART1, UART4, etc.); Confirm the “pins” (TX: transmit pin, RX: receive pin). For example: PA9, PA10; TX connects to RX, RX connects to TX, GND connects to GND; Note: Ensure common ground (GND), which is essential for the signal circuit and level reference. Protocol Format: Ensure that … Read more

Classic MCU Power Soft-Start Circuit

Classic MCU Power Soft-Start Circuit

This article introduces the working principle of a classic microcontroller power circuit, as shown in the figure below. Initial State (Power Off) Before the circuit is powered on, the “TEST” switch is open, and the MCU is not powered by VCC. At this time, the base of transistor T1 is grounded through R9 (100k), keeping … Read more
