embedcalc_can_bit_timing ~530

Compute exact CAN bit timing (BRP, segments, SJW, register values) for STM32 bxCAN, STM32 FDCAN (nominal/arbitration phase), and MCP2515 from clock, bitrate, and target sample point. Searches all valid prescaler/segment combinations and returns, per controller, the configuration whose sample point is closest to the target (ties: more TQ per bit, then smaller BRP). Register values are ready to write: bxCAN CAN_BTR, FDCAN FDCAN_NBTP, MCP2515 CNF1/CNF2/CNF3 (BTLMODE=1). All values follow the controller datasheets; BRP/TS values are 1-based (register encoding = value - 1 is already applied inside the hex words). Args: - clock_hz (int): controller input clock in Hz. bxCAN: APB1; FDCAN: kernel clock; MCP2515: crystal Fosc (MCP2515 uses TQ = 2*BRP/Fosc). - bitrate_bps (int): nominal bitrate in bit/s (classic CAN: up to 1000000). - sample_point_percent (50-95, default 87.5): CiA 301 recommends 87.5. Returns (structured): { bxcan, fdcan, mcp2515 } — each a timing object or null when the clock/bitrate ratio has no exact integer divider for that controller (a null means: change the clock or bitrate, do not approximate). Examples: - "500 kbit/s on STM32F103 (APB1 36 MHz)" -> clock_hz=36000000, bitrate_bps=500000 - "1 Mbit/s, 16 MHz MCP2515, sample point 75%" -> clock_hz=16000000, bitrate_bps=1000000, sample_point_percent=75 Do not guess CAN timing registers — call this tool.

embedcalc_crc_to_c ~549

Generate a complete, compilable C implementation (256-entry lookup table + compute function) for any CRC-8/16/32, plus its standard check value. Use a preset for common CRCs, or specify the Rocksoft model parameters (width/poly/init/reflect-in/reflect-out/xor-out) for a custom CRC. The generated code embeds check("123456789") so the result can be verified on target. Args: - preset (optional): one of CRC-8, CRC-8/MAXIM, CRC-16/CCITT, CRC-16/ARC, CRC-16/MODBUS, CRC-32, CRC-32/BZIP2.

Returns (structured): { check_hex, config, c_code }. The text content is the C source itself. Examples: - "MODBUS RTU CRC in C" -> preset='CRC-16/MODBUS' - "CRC-16 poly 0x1021 init 0xFFFF, no reflection" -> bits=16, poly_hex='0x1021', init_hex='0xFFFF' Check values are exact (e.g. CRC-16/CCITT -> 0x29B1, CRC-32 -> 0xCBF43926); do not estimate CRCs — call this tool.

embedcalc_number_base_convert ~154

Convert a number between decimal/hex/binary/octal with 32-bit two's complement semantics (negative decimals wrap; MSB-set values get a signed reading). Args: value (string) — decimal ('-1', '42'), hex ('0xFF'), binary ('0b1010'), or octal ('0o17'). Returns (structured): { unsigned, signed, hex, bin (4-bit groups), oct, ones_count }.

embedcalc_pcb_trace_width ~222

Minimum trace width to carry a current with a given temperature rise, per IPC-2221 (I = k·ΔT^0.44·A^0.725; k=0.048 external / 0.024 internal). Args: current_a, temp_rise_c (default 10), copper_oz (default 1), layer ('external'|'internal'). Returns (structured): { width_mil, width_mm, cross_section_sq_mil }. Example: 1 A, 10 °C rise, 1 oz external -> ≈11.8 mil (0.30 mm). Internal layers need ~2x the width. Do not guess trace widths — this curve is not linear.

embedcalc_qformat_convert ~249

Convert between float and signed Qm.n fixed point (1 sign + m integer + n fractional bits; e.g. Q0.15 = 16-bit "Q15"). Args: - m (int >= 0), n (int >= 0): format; m+n+1 <= 32. - value (float) OR raw_int (stored integer): provide exactly one. Returns (structured): { format, total_bits, scale, range_min, range_max, raw_int, hex, bin, actual, error, clamped }. hex/bin are two's complement in the format's bit width. Examples: 0.5 in Q0.15 -> 16384 = 0x4000; raw 0x8000 (-32768) in Q0.15 -> -1.0. Do not round by hand — quantization error matters.

embedcalc_regmap_to_c ~263

Generate C shift/mask #defines and a bit-field typedef struct for a hardware register from an LSB-first field list. Args: - register_name (string): e.g. 'CTRL'. Sanitized to [A-Z0-9_]. - fields (array of {name, width}): fields from bit 0 (LSB) upward, e.g. [{name:'EN',width:1},{name:'MODE',width:2},{name:'DIV',width:5}]. Total width must fit in 32 bits. Returns (structured): { c_code, total_bits, fields: [{name, width, shift, mask_hex}] }. Text content is the C source (defines + typedef struct with uint32_t bit-fields). Example: EN:1, MODE:2, DIV:5 -> CTRL_EN_SHIFT 0u / CTRL_EN_MASK 0x1u, CTRL_MODE_MASK 0x6u, CTRL_DIV_MASK 0xF8u. Do not compute shifts/masks by hand — call this tool.

embedcalc_resistor_code ~224

Decode a through-hole resistor color code (4 or 5 bands) or an SMD resistor marking into ohms + tolerance. Args (one of): - bands: array of 4 or 5 color names in order (black, brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, grey, white, gold, silver, none). - smd_code: 3-digit ('472'=4.7k), 4-digit ('4702'=47k), R-notation ('4R7'=4.7Ω), or EIA-96 ('01C'=10k ±1%). Returns (structured): { ohms, tolerance_percent, min_ohms, max_ohms }. Example: ['brown','black','red','gold'] -> 1000 Ω ±5%.

표준 회로 스키마를 받아 임베디드 보드 룰(디커플링, 리셋, I2C 풀업, 전원, 패밀리별 요구사항)을 결정론적으로 검토합니다. 이미지 회로도라면 먼저 embedcalc_get_extraction_guide로 스키마 형식을 받아 채운 뒤 이 툴에 넘기세요. KiCad 넷리스트라면 embedcalc_parse_kicad의 출력에 mcu.family만 추가해 넘기면 됩니다. 반환: { violations[], checked[], skipped[], interfacesDetected[] }. skipped는 데이터 부족으로 검사하지 못한 룰이며, 이를 통해 커버리지를 확인하세요. interfacesDetected는 넷 이름으로 자동 감지된 인터페이스 팩(usb/can/rs485/swd/crystal 등) 목록입니다.

embedcalc_ring_buffer_size ~158

Size a ring buffer (or DMA buffer) from data rate, worst-case consumer latency, and a safety factor, rounded up to a power of two. Args: data_rate_bytes_per_sec, latency_ms (worst-case time before the consumer drains), safety_factor (default 2). Returns (structured): { bytes_needed, recommended_pow2 }. Example: 102400 B/s, 10 ms, ×2 -> 2048 bytes -> use 2048 (2^11).

RS-485 cable length limit (rule of thumb: length_m x bitrate_bps <= 10^8, capped 1200 m) and fail-safe bias resistors for >= 200 mV idle differential across 60 Ω (two 120 Ω terminators). Args: baud_bps, vcc (default 5), bias_ohm (optional — defaults to the computed maximum). Returns (structured): { max_cable_m, max_bias_ohm, bias_used_ohm, idle_vdiff_v, meets_200mv }.

embedcalc_struct_layout ~229

Compute the memory layout of a C struct/union — member offsets, inserted padding, bit-field packing, total size, and alignment — for a 32-bit MCU model (ARM Cortex-M style: pointers 4 bytes; double/int64 size 8 with 4-byte alignment, matching embedcalc.com). Args: code (string) — C member declarations or a full struct, e.g. 'char a; int b;' or 'struct s { uint8_t a; uint32_t b; };'. Supports nested struct/union, arrays, pointers, and bit-fields. Returns (structured): { total_size, alignment, padding_bytes, rows: [{offset, size, type, name, kind, depth}] }. Nested block rows show offsets relative to their parent block. Example: 'char a; int b;' -> total 8 bytes, 3 bytes padding after 'a'. Do not guess struct sizes/offsets — padding rules are exactly what LLMs get wrong.

embedcalc_uart_baud ~323

Compute the STM32 USART BRR register (mantissa + fraction), the actual achieved baud rate, and the baud error for a given peripheral clock — plus frame size/character time for the given format. Args: - clock_hz (int): USART peripheral clock in Hz (e.g. 72000000). - baud (int): target baud rate (e.g. 115200). - oversampling (8|16, default 16): USART OVER8 setting. - data_bits (5-9, default 8), parity ('none'|'even'|'odd', default 'none'), stop_bits (1|1.5|2, default 1). Returns (structured): { mantissa, fraction, brr_hex, actual_baud, error_percent, frame_bits, char_time_us }. Rule of thumb: |error| < 2% total link budget; keep your side < 0.5% when possible. Example: 72 MHz, 115200, over16 -> BRR=0x0271 (mantissa 39, fraction 1), 0.00% error.
