Comprehensive Guide to Microcontroller Units

Comprehensive Guide to Microcontroller Units

MCU stands for Microcontroller Unit, which is commonly known as a single-chip microcontroller. It reduces the CPU’s frequency and specifications appropriately and integrates memory, counters, USB, A/D conversion, UART, PLC, DMA, and other peripheral interfaces, even LCD driver circuits, into a single chip, forming a chip-level computer. This allows for different combinations of control for … Read more

USB to Serial Communication Circuit

USB to Serial Communication Circuit

With the development of technology, RS232 serial communication is still widely used in industry. However, in commercial applications, the USB to UART technology has gradually replaced RS232 serial ports. Most laptops no longer have serial ports. So, how can we achieve communication between a microcontroller and a computer? We only need to add a USB … Read more

Solutions for Single USB to Multiple Serial Ports

Solutions for Single USB to Multiple Serial Ports

Serial ports (UART) are a very commonly used interface in embedded systems, but most modern computers lack hardware serial ports. Generally, serial ports are expanded through methods like USB to serial or PCIe bus expansion. USB to serial is a very common solution. Common USB to serial chips include CH340/341, CP2102, and PL2302. However, these … Read more

Summary of Using SPI with TMS320F2812

1. The SPI rate must not exceed 15M; exceeding this will result in serious bit errors. 2. If the reception method is interrupt-based, the SpicCR character length control bit determines the length of the interrupt. For a length of 8, with interrupt priority 1, an interrupt is generated for each byte received. For a length … Read more

Basics of SPI Bus

Basics of SPI Bus

Introduction SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) is a synchronous serial interface technology introduced by Motorola. The SPI bus is physically implemented through a module called Synchronous Serial Port (MCU) on the microcontroller (PICmicro) connected to peripheral devices, allowing the MCU to communicate with various peripheral devices at high speed in a full-duplex synchronous manner. SPI The … Read more
