Zhang Feng from Microchip Technology explains how to build a low-energy digital pedometer.

Microchip announces a new generation of 8-bit tinyAVR MCUs. The four new devices range from 14 to 24 pins and 4 KB or 8 KB of Flash and are the first tinyAVR microcontrollers to feature Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs). The new devices will be supported by START, an innovative online tool for intuitive, graphical configuration […]

Microchip announces the industry’s lowest-power Passive Entry/Passive Start (PEPS) solution: The ATA5700 and ATA5702 are primarily intended for use in battery powered applications such as smart keys (i.e. PEPS) and complementary car access via mobile devices, smartphones and wearables where the power consumption is one of the key requirements. Key benefits of the new devices […]
