Embedded Technology and Human Lifestyle 2007-11-30 08:14:31 The prevalence of embedded electronics technology in the modern market has given rise to innovative products that could change the way people live. From innovative everyday stuff such as integrated home entertainment systems to intelligent helicopter rotor blades, embedded electronics technology is covering all facets of modern day living and is making life faster, easier and more convenient for people.
Transforming Communication
Embedded electronics technology is rapidly changing the way people communicate and transmit data and information. New designs of parts and systems are being made to make tech-based products like cellular phones cheaper and more efficient. Today remote execution of tasks and activities (like company monitoring and quality assessment) can be done securely using embedded electronics. Wireless integrated work stations are also being implemented in many office establishments. (more…) Read more:Technology
Embedded Technology and the Modern Market 2007-12-07 05:36:07 Embedded electronics refer to devices that can be "embedded' into something. They are add-ons that increase the functionality of the device in which they have been integrated. Embedded electronics can do more and in the near future it can change the way people sell products and handle business.
The Importance of Technology
in Business
To maximize profits and to increase production but, at the same time, to maintain a competitive price, industries from all sectors of the market rely on technology to reduce the cost incurred during business operations. Modern
technology could maximize production and profit by freeing people from repetitive and laborious work and put them in places where their skills and intellect would matter. Technology makes it possible to mechanize and accelerate production, lower the cost, reinforce control mechanisms, speed up delivery, and make goods and services available to more people. These advantages also mean better, cheaper and safer products and se Read more:Market
AVR DDS signal generator V2.0 2008-03-10 08:42:48 Finally second and improved AVR DDS signal
generator is here. First AVR DDS V1.0 generator was only an attempt of running DDS algorithm without any amplitude control. This time I still wanted to keep things simple like minimum count of widely accessible components circuit, single sided PCB that comes together with good functionality.

Embedded Systems: microprocessors and microcontrollers 2008-02-27 04:39:21 An embedded system is a type of computer that can perform a few specialised tasks. This design is contrary to the normal computer that is designed to perform a number of operations that are in many cases unrelated to each other. Embedded systems are present in many of the devices that are used today and [...] Read more:Systems
Better performance with AVR XMEGA microcontrollers 2008-02-26 07:20:49 It seems that ATMEL do not want to limit the AVR branch with 20MIPS AVR microcontrollers. Recently they introduced new AVR microcontroller family - XMEGA - which is still based on AVR core but has a higher performance along with low power feature. AVR microcontrollers are really optimal where high performance is needed with relatively [...]
Encoding and modulation of digital signals 2008-02-25 07:26:09 We know that digital signals are stored as binary numbers in memory cells. Let’s see how these digital signals can be transferred in other words - how they can be encoded in to electrical signal shape. When signal has to be sent it has to be modulated.
Pulse Code Modulation (PCM)
Probably simplest and most common modulation [...]
DSP processors and their characteristics 2008-02-23 15:04:12 The processing of the various signals is carried out through implements that are together called as DSP hardware. This includes the hardware that is used for transmission of signals, various devices that are used to enhance or filter the signals, analogue to digital and digital to analogue converters and other processing equipment such as computers.
Among [...] Read more:characteristics

USB bootloaders for AVR microcontrollers 2008-04-24 07:56:20 Probably most proper microcontroller programming method is using a bootloader program. Because you don’t need any special programming adapters or special knowledge - you just need to connect standard cable from your PC to target board and run special program on PC which communicates with MCU bootloader program. The idea is simple:
If microcontroller is preconfigured [...]
