The digital multimeter (DMM) is a centerpiece in any electronics lab, but as the precision of electronics continues to increase, so does the need for DMMs that can quickly and accurately measure current, voltage…
Other Parts Discussed in Post: OPA376 , REF5050 , REF102 In my previous post in this series on understanding voltage references, I talked about the ways to build a shunt reference with a precision of series voltage reference. In this blog I will discuss…
In my previous post , I discussed the proper way to layout a printed circuit board (PCB) for an operational amplifier (op amp) and provided a list of good layout practices to follow. In this post, I will discuss common mistakes when laying out a PCB for…
