Excel sheet doesn't handle negative I Load currents well. Like the out-flowing current (negative current) on the inputs of a TI LM393 Voltage Comparator. A common place to use a resistor-Vref to compare against.
As engineers, if we had an infinite budget, we could create an infinite number of high-quality gadgets. Unfortunately, few of us have access to unlimited resources, so we must use our available assets as purposefully as possible. I was reminded of this…

Dear TI,
I'm using INA332 in my project with wheatstone brigde (gain = 191,6/ input signal ~0mV up to 7,5mV), so I having stability problems output signal with differente board with same setup. I've put resistor 470R@0.5% Vref pin, where I have around…
I don't see how the numbers add up. Am I doing something wrong?
VREF(1+RFB2/RFB1+RFB2/RF) - VDAC*RFB2/RF
VREF(1+10k/3.4k+10k/10k)-VDAC*10k/10k
VREF*4.94-VDAC
LM5085 VREF is 1.25V
1.25V*4.94 -VDAC
=6.175V-VDAC
This means the DAC can set the output…

Kevin,
Thanks for this interesting article. I am calculating a total error of a design with the ADS1247 and I want to use your method there. I am wondering if the errors in delta-sigma ADC are also uncorrelated, so I can calculate a typical error using…
