Is it possible to use DRAM with microcontroller AVR? Yes, it is possible. Jesperh has proved it. He hooked up a DRAM to a small processor (in this case an Microcontroller Atmel 8515), and handle the RAS/CAS sequencing and refresh in software. The type of DRAM is Hitatchi M5M44800, a 512k*8 DRAM!. Bigger than the […]

Comments: All resistors are 1/4W.The circuit is powered by 9…15V DC or AC. When In Circuit Programming (ISP) connectors are used, is possible the programmer to be powered from targets power source. Diodes D2 and D6 protect the regulator LM7805, when targets power is used. ‘ XTAL JUMP ‘ is used to cut XTAL when

The ATMEL AVR programmer works with the Windows program “Ponyprog” which works under 95, 98, XP. On board the AVRs that can be programmed are those in the schematic. For other members of AVR family or the rest programmable ICs that Ponyprog can program, there is the J1 connector (CON10) which allows expanding the programmer’s

The hot melt glue that covers the circuit serves multiple purposes: It helps to keep the temperature even among the three transistors (to minimize thermal drift), it protects the components from physical damage, and it holds the battery holder on the board. As I used this probe last nigh to determine if a 384 MHz

Useful as a transmitter tune-up meter or an RF sniffer, this is an RF field strength indicator that is loosely based on the Broad Band RF Field Strength Probe, described elsewhere. It detects RF via a square law detector, basically its a crystal set with gain. For more detail: AVR LED RF Field Strength using

This technique uses digital I/O pins to multiplex analog voltages into an analog input on the microcontroller. The method is most suitable for signals that do not need to be sampled frequently and it may be extended to accommodate a large number of inputs, though for a large number of inputs, the use of a

Described are the waveform capture method, example firmware and hardware designs. This material formed the basis of an article that was first published in the October, 2003 issue of Circuit Cellar magazine. The only components added to the operating Atmel AT90S2313 circuit (one capacitor and two resistors) to allow waveform sampling with < 1 microsecond resolution
