Silicon Laboratories - High Performance Mixed-signal
Products Include -
8-bit microcontrollers, Embedded modems, Subscriber line interface circuits, silicon direct access arrangements (DAAs) and clocks and oscillators.
Silicon Laboratories' Knowledge Base
The Embedded Ethernet Evaluation Kit demonstrates the simplicity of adding embedded Ethernet connectivity to a product with the CP220x.
NEC Electronics - Semiconductors
Manufactures semiconductors used in sectors like automotive and industrial, and consumer electronics.
LED Driver IC
µPD168804 is a power supply control IC with four constant-current controller/driver channels. A high current drive of up to 1,500 mA per channel is supported by providing an external power MOSFET.
Arduino and Freeduino Knowledge
"An evolving index of practical subjects for the Arduinotm and Freeduino microcontrollers, as found in the Arduino site, Playground wiki, forum and that big WWW thing."
Modern Device Company
Bare-Bones Board (BBB) and Real Bare-Bones Board (RBBB) for use in bread-boards with the FTDI USB-to-TTL-Serial cable. Available as bare PCBs, in kits, or pre-assembled. The BBB solderless breadboard advantage. - Here is a Bare-Bones Board on a breadboard with 6 LED's. Note the two pins on the right side which power the breadboard buses. Note the way the BBB maximizes breadboard space and makes it easy to get an LED and a resistor lined up with a breadboard pin. Try this with a traditional Arduino and you have a rats nest of wires.
Freeduino Projects
Bare Bones Board is a Freeduino project to the extent that the schematics and board design is realeased under a creative commons license.
