    STM32F446 booting

    The arm.developer.com states that "At Reset, Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 processors always boot from a vector table at address zero". How is it possible that f.e. STM32F446 has the vector table located at 0x0800 0000 address? I know about VTOR, but it doesnt seem that it is used there to do that...

    Conflicting timers and/or interrupts in Arduino Servo Library and USBHostShield Library

    Hello, I am using the Arduino Servo library to actuate two BLDC motors and ADK USB Host Shield to control them using a USB dongle controller (XBOX). But I am facing issues particularly in calibrating the BLDCs and lose the host shield. The most probable problem I could think of is there are some...

    Why It is stuck in loop? RX pin is not receiving data from Virtual Terminal? #proteus

    This code is to simulate RFID reader working using AT89C51 in Proteus Software. Instead of RFID reader i am using Virtual Terminal for sending or scanning RFID, here in my case I am Typing ID in Virtual Terminal, string 'a' stores input and compares with existing string and gives Output. Problem...

    Offsetting input voltage in PICAXE-08M2 MCU

    Hi, I am connecting a sensor to PICAXE08M2 MCU. The sensor is read in pin C.4 and when it is off is 1.8V and 5V when it is fully ON. I need to offset the 1.8V. I need to write the codes in Basic. The ADC is 8 bit and the maximum value would be 255. My codes are below. Main: Readadc C.1...

    For a fpga, how can i determine maximum number of pins I can use for pwm ?

    Hi, I come from the background of microcontroller design. I am learning fpga design. Usually in the ucontrollers the total number of pwm is limited as per the vendors. In FPGA how can i determine the maximum number of pwm I can drive from a fpga. For example, currently i am working with...

    Schottky Diode as overvoltage protection

    At work, they are using this structure to protect an analog pin on a micro-controller from overvoltage. I simulated the circuit and wired it up to test it (physically), but the output is linear in both (which I expected). One engineer at work assures me this works, and that once V5 = V6 + 0.6V...

    Opto-isolator/ optocoupler for electric isolation in IC design.

    Hello everyone. I came across while reading the opto-isolator technique used for electric isolation in embedded systems/ Integrated Circuits design that " Opto-isolator is not recommended for electric isolation in power applications IC's mainly due to its dV/dt sensitivity". So I would like to...

    manage 12V pulse and 5V pulse on the same pin

    I have Atmel controller which requires a 12V pulse and 5V pulse during flashing. I have a 12V supply and derived 5V from it using a regulator. But I want to know how can I give the 12V pulse and 5V pulse on the same pin. We can manage to give pulse single voltage level using NPN transistor but...
