A multimeter is an easy prospect, right? Back in the day you could make one fairly easily with a decent panel meter and a set of precision resistors, and now a digital one can be had for throwaway ...

The TC500 is a precision analog front end (AFE) with dual slope analog-to-digital converter (ADC) capable of up to 16 bits resolution. The device is composed of an integrator, zero crossing comparator ...

Handheld devices for measuring toxic gas, blood glucose, and similar applications are increasingly popular, and their low cost has made them throwaway devices, to be discarded when the battery or the ...

Imec has unveiled a new architecture that it says lays the foundation for a whole new generation of analogue-to-digital converters (ADCs). Unveiled at the IEEE International Solid-State Circuits ...

In my previous column, I took a historical approach to delta-sigma modulation with the single-slope converter (May 8, p. 18, ED Online 18747). Jim Williams of Linear Tech responded, and he sent me a ...

Electronics engineers and technicians often rely on hand-held orbench top digital multimeters (DMMs) during product development and troubleshooting. Are the power supply voltages correct? What’s the ...

In a world where an analogue to digital converter is all too often an integrated peripheral buried inside a microcontroller, it’s easy to forget how simple these devices can be when built from first ...
