Articles
Here is a list of articles related to electronics.
- FPGA and Microcontrollers. An
introduction to FPGA and CPLD with a comparison to an alternative
MCU solution.
- State Machine based software. The washing machine case. Implementing state machines in microcontroller software for many appliances can lead to a better design process, with a more robust software product, shorter time-to-market and less in-customer bugs.
- CAN bus tutorial. An
introduction to the Controller Area Network (CAN) protocol, devised
primarily for automotive applications but also being applied to
