EtherCAT is an Ethernet-based fieldbus system standardized in IEC 61158 and SEMI, and widely used in the fields of factory automation, semiconductor equipment and robotics. In this paper, without operating system, we have implemented an EtherCAT master with an open source EtherCAT master stack SOEM on STM32 Nucleo-144 board with an STM32F767 microcontroller. And its jitter performance has been evaluated at the output of the network port to include all the effects of the entire system in the results. The results show that the implemented EtherCAT master has precise control performance for control frequencies from 1KHz to 8KHz and relatively superior jitter performance compared to the EtherCAT masters with real-time patched Linux operating system.

Although mechatronics education in a mechanical engineering curriculum is recently recognized as important, its experimental education has been done generally in the laboratory equipped with all the apparatus and could not be done at home by students. This paper introduces experimental educations on mechatronics, e.g., digital logic circuits, 7-segment LED drive, square wave generation, microcontroller programming using assembly and C languages, timer interrupt, and step motor drive using a small 5 V power supply, a breadboard, various electronic and electric components, a microcontroller and its programmer, a step motor, and a student's PC. In the developed mechatronics course, experimental educations are scheduled in parallel with content's lectures together, and cheap and economic experimental environment is prepared for students in which students can easily practice experimental works in advance or later at home by themselves.

Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are widely used for verification in chip development. In order to verify the circuit programmed to the FPGA, data must be input to the FPGA. There are many ways to communicate with a chip through a PC and an external board, but the simplest and easiest way is to use a universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART). Most recently, most circuits are designed to be internally connected to the advanced microcontroller bus architecture (AMBA) bus. In other words, to verify the designed circuit easily and simply, data must be transmitted through the AMBA bus through the UART. Also the AMBA bus has been available in various versions since version 4.0 recently. Advanced peripheral bus (APB) is suitable for simple testing. In this paper, we design a circuit for UART-to-APB interface. Circuits designed using Verilog-HDL were implemented in Altera Cyclone FPGAs and were capable of operating at speeds up to 380 MHz.

This paper presents a simple digital LCD backlight inverter using a single-chip microcontroller. The proposed inverter reduces the ignition voltage and eliminates the current spikes and hence improves the ignition behavior of the cold cathode fluorescent lamp(CCFL). Thus it increases the CCFL's life span. This is achieved by implementing a digital dimming control algorithm, that contains the soft-starting algorithm, all on a single-chip microcontroller. The inverter utilizes the full-bridge resonant circuit topology. The design example along with a simple analysis for the inverter is shown, and the experimental results of the designed prototype results in close agreement with the theoretical analysis and explanation. The overall system's power efficiency is approximately 85%. Compared with conventional inverters, the ignition voltage is reduced by around 30% without any lamp current spike occurring during the dimming control operation.

A previous adapter have a single-ouput, however, a demand of a multi-output adapter increase in the recent industrial site. In order to satisfy the demand, in this research, we implement a programmable high efficiency multi-output adapter. The basic structure of the adapter introduced in this paper is a sort of flyback. The way for producing the reference voltage of the adapter proposed is similar to the way in the general flyback implemented with TL431. In addition to the basic concept of the design, however, we introduce a digital variable resistor, AD5246BKSZ10-RL7 and a microcontroller for changing a programmable multi-output. It makes output be variable that the digital variable resistor change the reference voltage of the adapter by order of the microcontroller. The adapter output voltage is controllable in the range of 20V by the user, and the power efficiency is proven to be 85%.

This paper presents a technique to implement embedded systems using interrupts of the one-chip microcontroller with many peripherals based on a multiple finite state machines model. The multiple finite state machine model utilizes the structure of FSMD used for hardware design and the features of flow control by interrupts. The main finite state machine corresponds to the main program and the sub-state machines corresponds to the interrupt subroutines. Therefore, interrupts from the peripherals can be processed immediately in the sub-state machines. The request and reply variables are used to interface between the finite state machines. Additional operating system is not necessary for the context switching between the main state machine and the sub-state machine, because the flow-control caused by interrupt can be replaced with the switching. An embedded system modeled on multiple finite state machine with ASM charts can be easily implemented by the conversion of ASM charts into C-language programs. This implementation technique can be easily adopted to the hardware oriented embedded systems because of the detail description of the model and the fast response to the interrupt events in the sub-state machine.

Arduino is a microcontroller platform for non-IT major students, and is widely used as a learning tool. Several AVR series microcontrollers are used in Arduino boards, but ATmega128 is not used. ATmega128 is widely used because of its high expandability and competitive price compared to ATmega328 and ATmega2560 used in Arduino boards. Therefore, by allowing ATmega128 to be used in an Arduino environment, the usability of existing hardware and the Arduino platform can be improved. In this paper, proposed are an Arduino-compatible board design based on ATmega128 and ways to use the ATmega128-based board. As the strengthes of the Arduino platform can be used while utilizing existing hardware in the proposed extension, it is expected that the proposed one can be used in various microcontroller-related education and enhance the learning efficiency.

In this paper, the function of starting the negative voltage used in the IT equipment when it is generated and the method of controlling it using a microcontroller for the function to detect the overload and respond to it are presented. To do this, the limitations of the existing negative voltage generation circuit and the problems that occur during overload were analyzed, and a circuit that detects and controls the overload condition without a separate current sensing circuit was presented. In order to confirm the effect of the proposed method, an experiment was conducted by configuring an experimental circuit. As a result of the experiment, compared to the existing negative voltage generation circuit, which falls into a latch-up state when overloaded and enters a dangerous state, the proposed circuit detects this, stop the operation of the circuit, and informs the user of such an abnormal state to take action. have. In addition, since the starting point of the circuit is determined according to the system state, the experimental result was confirmed that the starting time was significantly shortened by about 23% compared to the time switch method.
