Navigation -  ST’s state of the art technologies and products are key system enablers for advanced GPS positioning and navigation applications. Besides a broad range standard product offering, ST offers a cost optimized System On Chip solution that integrates: Digital to analog and analog to digital converters, ATAPI, external memory interfaces (SDRAM, SRAM, FLASH) , serial interfaces, CAN interface and USB. A sampling of ST products that are applicable to Navigation Systems can be found in the following block diagram. . . .

Novel Floating Current Source -  05/01/03  EDN Design Idea   One-shot provides frequency discrimination - Figure 1 shows a polarization circuit applicable to ISFET (ion-sensitive field-effect-transistor] sensors. ISFETs are solid-state chemical sensors that measure the pH value of a solution i. . .  [by S Casans, AE Navarro, and D Ramirez, University of Valencia, Burjassot, Spain]

 

Novel Idea Implements Low-Cost Keyboard -  04/03/03  EDN Design Idea   Many applications that use a microcontroller also use a keyboard. If your application uses a relatively powerful microcontroller, you can use several free I/O pins or an unused input with an ADC to effect an easy keyboard connection. . .  [by Jean-Jacques Thevenin, Thomson Plasma, Moirans, France]

Octal DAC Interfaces to DSP µp -  05/23/96  EDN Design Idea   The circuit in Figure 1 shows how you can connect an octal DAC (MAX521) to a DSP µP (ADSP- 2101) using 2 bits of a port mapped into the data memory. The interface circuit includes a 1 kV current-limiting resistor on the SDA signal line because the DAC pul. . .  [by Dhananjay Gadre, IUCAA, Pune, India]

 

One µC pin makes half-duplex RS-232C -  08/05/99 EDN Design Idea   In many µC designs, nearly all the I/O pins are occupied. If only one I/O pin is available, the circuit in Figure 1 can help you implement a serial RS-232C interface. For many purposes, half-duplex operation using a software-driv. . .  [by Marin Ossman]

 

One Second Time Base from Crystal Oscillator -  The schematic above illustrates dividing a crystal oscillator signal by the crystal frequency to obtain an accurate (0. 01%) 1 second time base. Two cascaded 12 stage counters (CD4040) form a 24 stage binary counter and the appropriate bits are gated together to produce the desired division. Using a crystal of some even multiple of 2 is desirable so that one stage of the counter automatically toggles every second which eliminates the need for the NAND gate and reset circuitry, however the circuit below illustrates using a crystal which is not an even multiple of 2 and so requires additional. . .  [Circuit Design by Bill Bowden]

 

One wire connects microcontrollers -  10/22/98 EDN Design Idea   (File has several circuits, scroll to find this one)  Low-cost µCs, such as Motorola's 68HC705 Series, offer great simplicity at the expense of some useful functions—notably, serial data transmission. Unlike their predecessors, these µCs do not have serial communication interfaces (SCIs), serial peripheral interfaces (SPIs), or simple serial I/O ports (SIOPs). This method describes how you can overcome this deficiency by creating an asynchronous serial interface through µC software. . .  [by Abel Raynus, Armitron International, Melrose, MA]

 

One-wire keypad interface frees microcontroller-I/O pins -  03/31/05  EDN Design Idea   Using this interface topology, you can reduce the number of keypad interface wires to just one and thus save critical microcontroller I/O ports. . .  [by Israel Schleicher, Prescott Valley AZ]
