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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Power amplifiers (PAs) are pivotal elements in modern wireless communication and radar systems, where enhancing output power and efficiency remains a critical challenge. Recent advances in PA design ...

The most common device for the measurement of load, pressure, torque, and even piezo-resistive (low frequency) acceleration is the strain gauge transducer. As a transducer, which converts a measured ...
