  • Experimental characterization of off-the-shelf LEDs as photodetectors for waking up microcontrollers 

    Ripoll Vercellone, Edgar; Reverter Cubarsí, Ferran; Ferrandiz, Vicent; Gasulla Forner, Manuel (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    The use of LEDs as photodetectors has been subject of study for a long time. However, LEDs manufacturers do not provide information about the response of LEDs to the light. It is essential for the designers of electronic ...

  • Differential inductive sensor-to-microcontroller interface circuit 

    Kokolanski, Zivko; Gasulla Forner, Manuel; Reverter Cubarsí, Ferran (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    This paper proposes a low-cost interface circuit for differential inductive sensors where the sensor is directly connected to a microcontroller unit (MCU) without any active intermediate electronics in between. The timer ...
