The Secret of Microcontroller GPIO Driving Capability: Why ‘Sinking’ is More Powerful than ‘Sourcing’?
In embedded system design, we often need to use the General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) pins of microcontrollers (MCUs) to drive peripheral devices such as LEDs and relays. I still remember that my first code in college was to control the blinking of an LED using the 8051 microcontroller. I wonder if the current university courses … Read more
