Hi, I have tried to make a universal IR capture for a Freescale MC9S12NE64. My gold is that the output from the controller is compatible with the Philips Pronto format ( http://home.tiscali.nl/m.majoor/prontoirformats.pdf) The program I been writing is working fine on the remote controls I have on hand. However, the problem is that when I finally think that I have made ...

Hello ! Can anyone direct me to a good guide which explains the differences between "common" microcontroller pin types, such as "open-drain" or "push-pull" etc ? The reason I'm asking this is that I'm trying to connect a TEA5768HL's SWPORT1 to a C8051F320's input port pin and I'm not sure how I should do it to make sure it works correctly. I've contacted Philips asking them the same ...

to visit the NXP (nee Philips) website. I am replacing a legacy part and needed the original datasheet for comparison purposes. It's not a website, it's marketdroid mental masturbation. We've had these rants before, of course, but I'm getting to the point of writing an open letter to semi mfrs - on the lines of 'just give me the content'. There's a place for javascript (I like the way T...

This is the appnote number which popped up searching on yahoo for "BGW200 Implementation Guide".

My project uses a Philips XA-49 microcontroller. I need to use the built-in Flash programming API. I have successfully used it to write bytes to flash, but when I request a block erase the call does not return. I am waiting for PWDVLD in the AUXR register. Does anyone out there have experience with this API on this part? Regards, Paul.

Is is possible to buy hobby quantities of Philips microcontrollers in the UK? I just tried the UK distributor, eurodis, who told me they have a minimum order of 100 uk pounds. It's so easy to buy PICs that I was complacent about getting another kind of micro- I spent a lot of time learning the 8051 instruction set before checking that I could actually buy these chips.

I was looking at the Atmel AT91R40008 for a new design. However I realised it dosen't support I2C. Does anyone have a recommendation about how to interface a real time clock, and maybe a serial eeprom. Is an I2C bus master a sensible approach, perhaps from Philips? The main objectives are low cost and good availbility. regards, Johnny.

Okay, so Philips has spun off their semiconductor division (apparently as a whole, unlike Motorola's bifurcated spinoff) into something called NXP, with a glitzy campaign now underway.

I'm about to start a project using SAA7113 and SAA7129 Philips devices. I've so far not been able to find any useful application notes to provide advice on how these devices should be connected and used.

I am designing a board using a Philips LPC2114 (nice chip). It uses 1.8v for the core, 3.3v for I/O, and I also need 5v for some other circuits on the board. None of them use much current. The power supply is a 12v battery. What is the best way to get these voltages, without running down the battery? Is there a single device, such as a DC/DC converter that can produce these voltages? ...

Hello, I'm looking for JPEG image processors (encoders). I found only 2, ADV202 from Analog Devices and PM-36 from Zoran. I would appreciate if anyone could point me to similar devices. It doesn't need to be very fast. I intend to capture one frame of NTSC video with Philips' SAA7111, and then do the conversion to JPEG in hardware, with a dedicated IC. I only need a few frames per second...

Hello Folks, The Philips ARM series had been out of my price range but the LPC2101 finally seems to be in reach, meaning under $2 in quantity. Now if one wants to try it out which kit would work? I'd have no problem if it was for another one of the ARM chips as they seem to be quite compatible. The only kit for the lower number parts I found at Digikey was the KS2106 LPC210x Kickstar...

Hi folks, Instead of using a Coldfire core (as I wrote in a previous post), I've decided to use the NXP (Philips) LPC2210, as it's cheap and has a large enough memory bus to handle the 4MB SRAM we're going to use. I now need to decide upon a development kit and software tools. The dev. board has to have Ethernet capabilities, preferably using an RTL8019AS, though a CS8900A would be okay,...

Hi, We have to tackle a new job that is going to use VOIP. I am wondering whether the ARM7 series from Philips would be up to the job or if it would be better to go the PC-104 route. The plus points on a PC-104 system are: a) Ethernet interface b) OS such as linux available c) Mass storage (Comapct Flash etc) available The plus points for the ARM: a) A lot of fun writing the code....

I am looking a a project for a portable device, not a lot different from a PDA in terms of design. I would like to compare some of the ARM9 processors for performance vs. battery life to see just how much horsepower is compatible with a moderate battery size. I see that Atmel and Philips have new parts out. The new TI parts don't look like they are optimized for power and I don't think the...
