Microchip integrates BlueSky technology into the SyncServer S600 Series time server and instruments

Mission-critical networks and other essential enterprise infrastructure can only maintain reliable operation if they continuously receive accurate timing information from network time servers, but these servers can be vulnerable to Global Positioning S… Continue reading Microchip integrates BlueSky technology into the SyncServer S600 Series time server and instruments

AVR Configurable Custom Logic as a Frequency Divider at 4x Chip’s Clock Speed

What a time to be alive when you can find inexpensive microcontrollers that come with programmable(ish) logic that can operate independently of the system clock. [David Johnson-Davies] recently built a proof of concept using the Configurable Custom Logic (CCL) that …read more

Microchip releases Wi-Fi MCU module with Trust&GO-enabled verifiable identity

As the Internet of Things (IoT) expands beyond home automation and drives deeper into home control – including Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC), garage doors and fans – and grows in building and industrial automation, the need for highl… Continue reading Microchip releases Wi-Fi MCU module with Trust&GO-enabled verifiable identity

Minimal TinyAVR 0 Programming

When [Alain] wanted to use some of the new TinyAVR 0 chips — specifically, the Attiny406 — it seemed overkill to use the Windows IDE. There are plenty of sources of information on programming other AVR chips using simple command line tools, but not for these newer 0-series parts which …read more
