The user-programmable microprocessor controller for Maxair air doors can maintain 10 speeds, ±5 rpm. Other features include three modes (on, off, and auto), built-in time delay (0 to 10 minutes), ...

A microprocessor is a complex, programmable integrated circuit (IC) on a single chip that can execute instructions. This generally includes CPUs found in computers but also refers to the ...

Configurable logic blocks (CLBs) house the logic for the FPGA. Typically, these CLBs contain enough logic to create a small state machine. A CLB normally contains RAM to create arbitrary combinatorial ...

The circuit in Figure 1 uses only five I/O lines to drive a dot- or bar-graph display of 20 LEDs. Although this version of the design uses a small and inexpensive one-time-programmable microprocessor, ...

Embedded microcontrollers are the original SoC devices. In the last few years FPGA and PLD manufacturers have proffered the term "System- on- a Programmable Chip" (SOPC) which captures the idea of ...

Interfacing real world devices to a microprocessor has become increasingly more difficult. It usually takes several discrete components to condition real world analog and digital before they can be ...

The term "Bit Slicing" was once dominant in history books as a technique for constructing a processor from processor modules of smaller bit width where each of these components processes one field or ...
