Common I/O Ports of MCUs and Their Differences

Common I/O Ports of MCUs and Their Differences

When it comes to microcontrollers (MCUs), the first thing that comes to mind is that they have many input/output (I/O) ports, which can be difficult to distinguish. As the core of embedded systems, they can communicate with external devices or sensors. However, the presence of I/O ports often makes learning challenging for many people. This … Read more

How to Output Analog Signals via Microcontroller UART?

How to Output Analog Signals via Microcontroller UART?

1. Introduction In electronic circuit design, there might be a situation where the microcontroller has no DAC resources and no spare PWM ports available. The only remaining option is a UART. So how can we output an analog voltage through this port? By using the microcontroller’s port, we can output a square wave signal with … Read more

Configuring DAC Output for Fixed Voltage and Square Wave on STM32

Configuring DAC Output for Fixed Voltage and Square Wave on STM32

The STM32F103VCT6 features two 12-bit DACs. The conversion speed of the DAC has not been confirmed, but some online sources suggest a frequency of 1MHz, which means 1us. The ADC conversion time at a working frequency of 56MHz is 1us, and at 72MHz it is 1.17us. If there is a symmetrical relationship between AD and … Read more
