Accurate signal conditioning and high-resolution measurements are no longer limited to industrial or instrumentation applications. Designers of portable consumer- electronic equipment also need to ...

Back in 2012, I wrote about signal conditioning for MEMS and sensors. Amplifiers and architectures have not changed very much since, but there are a few newer devices and design architectural ...

How analog signal engineering is performed, in broad strokes. What are the component-selection considerations for new designs? What are VFAs and how are they used? Analog signal engineers specialize ...

Amplifiers in cascode Configuration and their variations are generally used to overcome Miller Capacitance, improve the small signal gain and output impedance. Increasing number of transistors in ...

Many industrial and medical applications use instrumentation amplifiers (INA) to condition small signals in the presence of large common-mode voltages and DC potentials. The three op amp INA ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. In designing an input stage for an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), engineers choose a particular amplifier, assign a target gain, and note the ...

The performance of even the best sensor can be degraded by poor design of the signal conditioning circuit that interfaces its output to the digital processors at the heart of the system. Equally, over ...
