Best Answer

Any microcontroller can handle numbers wider than the bus width of the micro (16 bits in the case of the msp430). It simply requires use of features such as the Carry bit in the Status register.

A C-language compiler for the MSP430 will produce code to allow for processing of numbers larger than 16 bits. Use data type "Long" for a 32-bit integer.

What are the Advantages of at89c52 microcontroller over 8051 microcontroller?

The at89c52 are ones that are more advanced. This means that they are programmable compared to the 8051 which is not. So this makes a really big difference.


Advantages of FPGA spartan over microcontroller?

FPGA Spartan is more efficient than the microcontroller. It is used to perform operations that cannot be properly done by microcontrollers; operations like high parallel or low latency operation.


Why TTL is preffered in case of microcontroller than CMOS?

TTL is preferred in n-mos technology because it produces more heat and thus it's preferable in microcontroller circuit but c-mos does not produce waste heat which is why TTL is not preferred in c-mos.

What is programming robots mean?

It is the process of writing commands for a robot which will influence its future actions.Additional InformationRobotic devices are typically controlled by one or more microcontrollers. Microcontrollers are basically little computers, with Read Only Memory (ROM) and processor in a single package. The output of the microcontroller operates the servos and other devices of the robotic device.So basically, when you program a robot, you're just telling the microcontroller how to perform the functions that make the robot do its work.


What is use of uln2003 in microcontroller based based tachometer?

ULN2003 is used where the current rating and voltage rating of a motor or any load which is to handled by microcontroller is more than the current handling and voltage handling capacity of that microcontroller. A pin of ULN2003 can handle 600 mA current. It can withstand voltage upto 50 volt. A pin of any microcontroller can handle current upto 200 mA and controller voltage is around 5 volt. So we use uln2003 in parallel to any microcontroller to drive heavy load devices. Uln2003 accepts TTL from MCU which may be 5v or 0v and depending on this value ULN2003 turns on the heavy load or turn it off respectively. for more inquiry mail me at grv_sh@yahoo.co.in

Which microcontroller is better atmega8535 or avr?

Which building holds more people, the Empire State Building or a skyscraper? The ATmega8535 is a kind of 8-bit Atmel AVR microcontroller. People building Arduino boards prefer the Atmega168, which is very similar to the ATmega8535 but has more RAM and program space (but, alas, fewer I/O pins). If you really want to see controversy, try asking: which is better, AVR or PIC?


How do you trigger a digital camera using a microcontroller?

That depends on how much you are willing to take the camera apart. If you didn't want to touch it, then you would have to use a solenoid to push the button. That would probably need some drive electronics similar to driving a motor. If you can take the camera apart then you could replace the switch with a relay. Small relays can be driven directly from a microcontroller. The switch may be more complex than just one switch. Maybe a half-press focuses and a full-press takes the picture. So you might need more than one relay, or maybe one relay with more than one pole. You wont know until you look. Almost certainly, the switch drives a voltage input (or more than one) on a microcontroller in the camera. So if you traced the signal back you should be able to drive that voltage input directly from your microcontroller. You may have to get into some very small surface mount components.

When an element is oxidized what does its oxidation number do?

When an element is oxidized, its oxidation number increases. Oxidation involves the loss of electrons, so the oxidation number becomes more positive in the process.
