Circuit Measures
Microvolts In The Presence Of Volts
: 08/23/04
Electronic Design - Design Briefs /
Sometimes, it's necessary to make
microvolt measurements in the presence
of volts. For example, the need arose to
measure the thermoelectric potentials in
an RTD circuit in which the 10 V applied
to self-heat the RTD made measuring such
tiny).... |

power to ICs:
11/22/2001 EDN - Design Ideas /
Supervisory circuits normally monitor a
microprocessor's supply voltage,
asserting reset to the IC during
power-up, power-down, and brownout. In
this way, the circuit ensures that the
supply voltage is stable before the
microprocessor boots, thus preventing
code-execution errors. Many analog and
digital ICs also need a well-behaved
start-up of their supply to avoid
latch-up and logic-stat... . |

simplest bridge between analog and
digital worlds, but crossing this bridge
isn't as simple as might be thought.
Keep in mind, we are leaving the analog
world with an indefinite number of
states and entering into a vastly. . . |

user that the battery is strong and
healthy. A2-Hz brief flicker off
indicates that the battery is starting
to show age. A more insistent,50%,5-Hz
flashing is a warning to have a spare
battery on hand. A brief flicker on at2
