    AC signal 15V max to 3.3V

    Hey I need to measure some signals that can be maximum 15-20V. But my MCU work only with 3.3V. What is the best way to do that? I thought about resistors divider. there are more ideas ? I want that the samples will be clear without noise. Thank you Very much

    what best bus transceiver to translation from a 3.3V to a 5V/3.3V environment ?

    Hello guys, I need to interface my 3.3V MCU IO ports to a connector that will be connected to either a 5V or a 3.3V system. I learned about the SN74LVC4245A, an 8-bit bus transceiver with two separate supply rails VCCA(5V) and VCCB(3.3V). but in the datasheet, it states that the control...

    How to transfer LCD data from rangefinder to arduino?

    I am pretty new to this all so forgive me if I didn't post this under the right community since I wasn't 100% sure which one to post in. I have a rangefinder that uses an HT1621B chip that sends signals to a custom 32-pin LCD. I am wondering if there are any MCU or board that has a 32 FFC cable...

    Any tips for MCU breaking after reflow soldering?

    After soldering up the parts, the DMA process on my MCU's (ATSAML21J18B-AUT) is breaking. I use an IR oven (T962A), cover the MCU in a heat shield, and reflow using low temp solder (the process gets up to 180C). With an iron at 200C, I will touch up pins with bad solder joints. The MCU is rated...
