Understanding MCU Pins XIN and XOUT

Understanding MCU Pins XIN and XOUT

Before we begin: 1. This article will focus on Microchip’s products. I believe Microchip has the most articles on clocks among MCU companies. The terminology used by Microchip may differ from that of other companies, but the usage is the same and does not affect understanding. 2. The term “clock source” is used to distinguish … Read more

Microcontroller Running Abnormally? Check These Items

Microcontroller Running Abnormally? Check These Items

Power Supply: If the microcontroller is having issues, first check the power supply. There may be a problem with the power supply. Use a multimeter to check the power supply voltage of the microcontroller; it is best to use an oscilloscope to capture the voltage waveform because the voltage may be unstable (for example, voltage … Read more
