Holtek's First MCU Creativity Competition
In order to encourage maximum participation in this competition, Holtek is running three introductory seminars where in addition to explaining the details of how to use the MCU in the competition, practical training will also be provided for attendees. At the end of the event each visiting teacher will be presented with a suite of development tools. The events will take place on 7th~8th May, 14th~15th May and 21st~22nd May at the Lunghwa University of Science and Technology, the National Changhua University of Education and the Chen Shiu University, respectively. We welcome all teachers and students from all related academic institutions to participate by registering on-line at the following website: www.el.lhu.edu.tw/holtek Holtek specializes in the design of microcontrollers, whose devices have made rapid progress in the areas of noise immunity and low power requirements, and was the first major supplier in Taiwan of MCUs to provide industrial standard devices. This competition will be focused on the HT46R24, a device from Holtek’s A/D series. The device possesses 8K of internal OTP Program Memory, 384 Bytes of Data Memory, 40 I/O pins, an 8-channel 10bit A/D converter and a 4-channel PWM generator. In addition to these features, the device also contains an I2C Bus (slave) interface, a Programmable Frequency Divider and Low Voltage Reset Function as well as many other features. The combination of these functions makes the device suitable for use in a wide range of household appliances. It is Holtek’s desire that this present competition will assist the promotion of its microcontrollers, and introduce the excellent features of these devices into the academic world. At the same time, Holtek hopes that participation in the competition will lead to a healthy interchange of ideas, permitting the participants to learn from each other and stimulate even further creativity. This event will allow Holtek to give something back to the academic world as well as encouraging the emergence of some excellent personnel and products.
