Reading analog signals from the real world and then turning them into digital signals that a microcontroller (MCU) can understand is one of the most difficult tasks you will face when developing MCU-based sensor applications. Watch this Livestream to learn about some different techniques that you can use with Microchip's 8-bit PIC and AVR MCUs to significantly improve their accuracy and speed when reading analog signals. Key Takeaways: Get a basic understanding of the types peripherals that you can use with 8-bit MCUs to read analog signals, including Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), Comparator (CMP) and Zero-Crossing Detector (ZCD) Learn about why ADCs are perfect for hardware filtering applications Find out why comparators are great for applications where speed is key Free Board: microchip.com/184freeboard Check out past livestreams @ http://www.microchip.com/promo/microchip-livestream Additional Resources: Analog to Digital Converter (ADC): http://microchipdeveloper.com/8bit:adc Zero Cross Detect (ZCD): http://microchipdeveloper.com/8bit:zcd Digital to Analog Converter (DAC): http://microchipdeveloper.com/8bit:dac Noise Countermeasures for ADC Applications: http://www.microchip.com/wwwAppNotes/AppNotes.aspx?appnote=en600674 Analog to Digital Coverter with Computation Tech Brief: http://www.microchip.com//wwwAppNotes/AppNotes.aspx?appnote=en584645 Analog Design in a Digital World Using Mixed Signal Controllers: http://www.microchip.com/wwwAppNotes/AppNotes.aspx?appnote=en011972 Atmega4809 Homepage: http://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/en/ATMEGA4809 PIC16F18446 Homepage: http://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/en/PIC16F18446 MPLAB Xpress Homepage: http://www.microchip.com/mplab/mplab-xpress
