We are continuing our series on understanding binary in C with lesson number four in this video we're going to learn about bit shifting in 10 minutes or less so here I have a kind of a setup version ...

I'm dealing with some performance critical code-- a function which is called > 10^10 times in a typical execution. I've noticed that author used a lot of bit shifting instructions (foo >> 5) * (bar >> ...

A bitwise operator is a character that represents an action taken on data at the bit level, as opposed to bytes or larger units of data. More simply put, it is an operator that enables the ...

Step right over those bit-shift operators, they don’t bite. Now look at this beauty right here: I call her The Ultimate Debouncer (tm)!” Everybody who works with microcontrollers eventually runs into ...

The NPIC6C596A is an 8-bit serial-in/serial or parallel-out shift register with a storage register and open-drain outputs. Both the shift and storage register have separate clocks. The device features ...
