Although power management is crucial for almost all electronic devices, it often does not receive the attention it deserves. Power management systems can enhance product reliability and performance, often supporting many other functionalities. Power Management Integrated Circuits (PMICs) are compact, efficient, and flexible in design, making them particularly important in battery-powered electronic devices such as … Read more
With the development of the automotive industry, the number of electronic control systems in vehicles has grown exponentially. The in-vehicle electronic control system, centered around the ECU, is gradually replacing passive devices and mechanical systems, while also fulfilling most measurement, drive, and control functions. The increase in new in-vehicle electronic control systems in vehicle applications … Read more
For a long time, communication between microcontrollers (MCUs) has been a learning challenge for many electronic engineers. Since different MCUs may use different voltage levels, many beginners are curious about how these MCUs can communicate. Let’s take a look! Generally speaking, communication between MCUs relies on digital signals, where the voltage level of the digital … Read more
Today we analyze a classic microcontroller power supply circuit, the schematic diagram of the circuit is shown below: ▲ Simplified switch circuit Before powering the circuit, the switch “TEST” is open, and the microcontroller is not powered through VCC. At this point, the base of T1 is grounded through R9 (100k), putting it in the … Read more
EMMC Socket Usage: Enter “EMMC” under “Input Chip Marking” to see the following three options: EMMC_AUTO: Speed 8BIT (default), automatically recognized when EMMC. EMMC_AUTO_4BIT: 4BIT, recommended for most chips for stability. EMMC_AUTO_1BIT: 1BIT, can be selected when the above two cannot read; slower speed but may recover data in the chip. Additionally, the chip model … Read more
