PIC24E I2C communication with MCP4725

Image
I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) is a serial communication protocol invented by Philips . The main advantage of using I2C is that it requires only 2 wires: clock and data, where several devices can be connected. In a typical arrangement, a processor acts as the bus master and devices as slaves, though multi-master setup is also possible.

An Introduction to Finite State Machine Design

Image
Roughly speaking, a synchronous Finite State Machine (FSM) refers to a digital circuit/system that has memory, and is driven by a clock signal to change from one state to another depending on the applied input and its previous state. This classification covers from the simplest circuit consisting of only one D flip-flop, to a high-performance computer system. One might refer to FSM as a sequential circuit, in contrast to a combinational circuit that is memoryless. With latest electronics/computer technology, an FSM of low to medium complexity can be designed and implemented rather easily using CPLD/FPGA and software tools. The main advantages of this approach are flexibility, compactness, and ease of maintenance. Hardwiring TTL/CMOS logic gate and DFF ICs together on a PCB is now considered outdated. Previously on this website, we discussed some design and implementation of quadrature encoder interface circuits (see, for example, VHDL code for quadrature encoder receiver module an...

Configure PIC24E to run at 70 MIPS

Image
Since Microchip introduced their PIC24EP family of products, it took a while before they became available from major vendors in Thailand. This family (and its close relatives dsPIC33EP) is attractive for its 70 MIPS performance. It could not run at that speed right out of the package, considering a user's choice of setup (such as oscillator type and frequency). So in this brief article, we show an example on how to configure PIC24EP to 70 MIPS. A PIC24EP256MC202 is used on our prototype, with 2 clock choices: the 7.37 MHz on-chip Internal Fast RC (FRC) oscillator, and an external 8 MHz crystal.
