For a variety of reasons, designers often discover that their creations need yet more power-supply voltages. For example, a system powered by ±2.5V power supplies suddenly needs a precision –1.4V ...

Last time, in my piece on using integrated A/D converters onboard a microcontroller or system-on-chip (SoC), I said: “An external voltage reference pin may allow a higher voltage source (compared to ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. 1. In a typical adjustable voltage reference, a voltage divider between the output and feedback pin is used to enable ...

CMOS voltage reference circuits are integral to modern electronic systems, providing a stable and reproducible voltage that underpins the performance of myriad integrated devices. These circuits ...

Homing in on industrial-control and T&M applications, Analog Devices has extended its portfolio of small-footprint nanoDACs. Eight pin-compatible 12- to 16-bit digital-to-analog converters (DACs) now ...

Little Bird Electronics posted an article about using an analog voltage reference with Arduino. This is a tool available when using an analog-to-digital converter. By setting up either an internal or ...

Many embedded systems require a stable, low-noise DC reference. This reference can be a stable current or voltage source. These references are used in many ways. Some typical uses are listed as ...
