Interrupts

What is an interrupt? Consider the following knock-knock joke: Figure 1 Joker: “Knock, knock”

Interrupts on PSoC

An interrupt is a signal received by a microcontroller and emitted by hardware or software that is signaling a system event that needs immediate attention.

IR Emitter/Detector Pairs and Op-Amps

Objectives Infrared (IR) emitters and detectors come as a pair of devices; one is a light source, and the other is a light sensor.

Keeping a Schematic Tidy

Introduction When drawing a schematic, crossing wires can make the schematic difficult to read and follow signals (see example, Figure 1).

KiCad PCB FAQ

Why the width of the power traces needs to be larger than the signal traces?

LCDs and Buttons

Individual Assignment Objectives To develop and demonstrate individual proficiency in:

Level shifters

Introduction: What is a level shifter? A level shifter either shifts the voltage of a data line up or down depending on what your circuit entails.

Make a Project Repository and Website

Introduction The purpose of this post is to help you create a website to share your work.

Manual Routing in Cadence PCB Editor

How do I manually route a design in PCB Editor? Your design should have a board outline and components placed, and blue lines (the “rats nest”) between the components (see example, Figure 1).

Measurement in Cadence PCB Editor

How do I measure the spacing between pins to make sure my footprint matches the Datasheet?
