We use so many things in our daily life, but never pay attention to their design. From the USB port to the buttons of your ...

Renesas Technology of Japan has released a 16-bit microcontroller, the AE4503, for SIM cards of OTA2-compliant mobile phones. OTA2 is a Chinese proprietary standard of GSM. The device has a 16-bit ...

All SIM cards have basically the same circuitry – a microcontroller and small amounts of permanent, rewritable, and random access memory.

The SIM card is an important part of the mobile. Without it, you cannot use your phone. You may have noticed that there is a ...

As an alternative, the pins can support a user-installed configuration jumper. In this configuration, IC1 's interrupt output should connect to the host microcontroller's interrupt input so that ...

The usual way send data from a microcontroller is either over RS-232 with MAX232 serial ICs, crystals, and a relatively ancient computer, or by bit-banging the USB protocol and worrying about ...

Classes are over at Cornell, and that means one thing: the students in [Bruce Land]’s microcontroller design course have submitted their final projects, many of which, like this flight contro… ...

Suitable for SIM and Java cards in GSM phones, the EMTCG256-3G smart card IC pairs 256 KB of flash memory with an 8-bit 8051 microcontroller core. Compatible with the ISO7816- ...

Researchers Sean Cross and Dr. Andrew Huang demonstrated yesterday at the Chaos Communication Congress that they could write arbitrary code onto various flash-based SD memory cards.

While most smart-card microcontrollers rely on a combination of fixed ROM and EEPROM to store information, the EMTCG96-3G uses a flash memory architecture that is 100% reprogrammable. This allows ...
