In designing µC-based systems, you often face a situation in which the µC has to respond to an external event happening at an uncertain moment in time. One example is receiving an echo from an object ...

This paper will discuss design practices and guidelines that will maximize the efficiency of interrupts and interrupt handling in an embedded system IC. These practices can result in a smaller code ...

Endian format refers to how multibyte variables are stored in a byte-wide memory. In 'big endian' format, the most significant byte is stored in the first byte (lowest address). In 'little endian' ...
