Rate of Closure: Same Circuit, Different Curves
In this blog post, I’d like to introduce the “Rate of Closure” method for determining stability. Our “Open the Loop” (aka BigL/BigC from Part 3) schematic works well ...
In this post, I will introduce a method called “Open the Loop,” aka BigL/BigC, which offers some improvements over the previously discussed “Split the Circuit” method.
Remember our Unstable Example
Recall the unstable example ...
Every precision industrial measurement starts with the same challenge: build the signal conditioning chain from discrete amplifiers, resistors, and ADCs or integrate it all into a signal chain µModule? The front-end tur...
By ChelseaFaye AureNow, let’s take a deep look to find out what is inside a precision signal chain µModule and discover how it is built, what’s integrated, and why that integration directly translates to more predictable system‑leve...
Have you seen the Precision Studio Suite of online tools? There are 8 tools available within ADIs Precision Studio, that enable you to design your signal chain measurement and drive circuits faster, these tools offer an in depth...
In much of today’s industrial market, “good-enough” performance is the dominant design target, with long product lifecycles, tight cost pressures, and conservative qualification processes driving engineering decisions. In ...
Ever wondered why we need to learn how to drive an operational amplifier (op amp) with a capacitive load? In most cases, the load capacitance is not from a capacitor we've intentionally added. Instead, it often originates from the op amp’s ...
Imagine trying to measure a current so tiny that it’s almost invisible. How is that even possible? How do we even convert that current signal into something that is useful? With Transimpedance Amplifiers (TIAs), measuring and converting these t...
In IEC 61508, HFT stands for “Hardware Fault Tolerance”. HFT of one or higher means that there is no single fault that will cause a safety function to fail. Usually, this is done with two channels so that, even if channel A fails, channel...
Sensors are all around us. They help our gadgets, appliances, and electronic equipment "notice" what's happening in our environment. Essentially, they are tools that help detect changes around us, such as light, temperature, or movement...
