16F1509 ramp generator using the internal 5-bit DAC

Charles Douvier of PNW/Electronics writes: Turns out the DAC is probably the easiest peripheral I’ve used on the PIC. It took me longer to wait for the PICKit to update from 18F configuration to 16F. BUT.. if you’re having issues.. here you go: A simple voltage follower (or however you want to buffer the output) […]

App note: A complete low-cost design and analysis for single and multi-phase AC induction motors using an 8-Bit PIC16 microcontroller

Here’s an application note (PDF!) from Microchip on driving a single and multi-phase AC induction motor (ACIM) using the PIC16F1509 microcontroller: This document provides a detailed analysis of driving a single and multi-phase AC induction motor (ACIM) using the PIC16F1509 microcontroller. Laboratory data is presented alongside the simulated data in an extensive reasoning of the entire design. The purpose […]
