Paul Clarke (aka @monpjc) is an embedded digital electronics engineer with strong software skills in assembly and C for embedded systems. He has worked in electronics for more than 20 years, having started out at the age of 10 making simple Maplin kits, learning to program a ZX81 in machine code, and even making interfaces to plug in the back of a ZX Spectrum. He has also taught himself VHDL. Paul enjoys helping others learn more about electronics and programming, but his real passion is FPGA design and the magic it can do.

Would you class these as adages, aphorisms, axioms, dictums, epigrams, maxims, precepts, saws, truisms, or... well, what?
Here we discover how to use the XADC (Xilinx Analog-to-Digital Convertor) in the Zynq All Programmable SoC to read the chip's internal temperature and voltage parameters and output them over an RS-232 link.
When extreme thermal cycling causes circuit boards and chip packages and the silicon die in the packages to expand and contract at different rates, problems may ensue.
In part 3 of this epic tale we consider how we might use tri-state buffers, leading up to the legendary bi-directional buffer.
Digital engineers are often confused among operational amplifiers, differential amplifiers, and instrumentation amplifiers; this is exacerbated by the fact that their circuit symbols can be similar.
