How to use inbuilt analog comparator of AVR microcontroller using atmega

Leave a Comment / Using Atmega /

Analog comparator is a device which compares two input voltages and generates output accordingly. The article on IR sensor explains the use of comparator in sensor designing. Comparators form an integral part of circuit designing in majority of the applications.  AVR microcontrollers have in-built analog comparator. Using the in-built analog comparator of AVR, the controller can […]

How to use internal ADC of AVR microcontroller using interrupts using atmega

Leave a Comment / Using Atmega /

singThis article is in continuation to AVR interrupts. There are two types of interrupts external and internal in AVR microcontroller. The aforesaid article covers external interrupts. AVR microcontrollers have seventeen internal interrupts. These internal interrupts are generated by the internal peripherals of Microcontroller like Timer, ADC etc. The internal interrupts are used for efficient operation of the internal peripherals.

Knowingly or unknowingly the RFID technology is used by us in our day to day life. The most familiar example is seen in MNCs, schools and offices for daily attendance or automatic door opening system. The RFID contains two parts, namely, tag and receiver modem. When an RFID tag comes in the range of receiver, the tag gets

Serial communication

Serial communication with AVR microcontroller using interrupts using atmega

Leave a Comment / Using Atmega /

In our previous articles on serial data transmission using AVR microcontroller we have demonstrated serial communication using the polling method. In Polling, the microcontroller waits for the RXC flag (in the case of serial receiver) to go high and then moves to the next instruction. This is not a good programming technique to keep the microcontroller busy to monitor

Leave a Comment / Using Atmega /

Communication between two entities is important for the information flow to take place. In general the information transport system can be parallel in which the complete byte of data is sent at a time, with each bit having a separate dedicated line or it can be serial where only one communication line is available which

How to use inbuilt ADC of AVR microcontroller (ATmega16)

Leave a Comment / Using Atmega /

Microcontroller understands only digital language. However, the inputs available from the environment to the microcontroller are mostly analog in nature, i.e., they vary continuously with time. In order to understand the inputs by the digital processor, a device called Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) is used. As the name suggests this peripheral gathers the analog information
