November 5, 2009[Design View / Design Solution] Take Simple Steps Toward Extreme Low-Power Design
Practicing engineers are always learning and perfecting their craft. With the demand for more portable, battery-powered devices and energy harvesting on the horizon, the requirements for even lower-power designs have gotten more challenging. At first, designers wrestled with saving milliamps, then microamps. Today, it is all about saving nanoamps. As a result, designers have to elevate their thinking to another level. Extreme low-power embedded design...
March 30, 2006[Ideas For Design] Algorithm, Simple Circuit Add Natural Voice To A Design
Working on an embedded project? An 8-bit microcontroller with a pulse (PWM) peripheral can provide a low-cost and easy solution to adding natural voice to your next embedded endeavor. We recently implemented this technique in SuitSat-1 (see "Latest Radio Amateur Satellite Is No Empty Suit," March 16, 2006, p. 25). Listeners could hear recordings of schoolchildren saying "greetings from space," as well as telemetry readings (time, temperature, and battery voltage). ...
