Abstract: In this article, an efficient differential voltage amplifier scheme for interfacing piezoelectric sensors that is insensitive to cable parasitic capacitance and immune to common mode ...

In today’s information-driven society, there’s an ever-increasing preference to measure phenomena such as temperature, pressure, light, force, voltage and current. These measurements can be used in a ...

Signal conditioning can prepare a sensor’s output for digitization. Figure 1. An op amp in the basic inverting configuration provides a gain of -RFB/RIN. Figure 2. An op amp can be used as a voltage ...

Instrumentation Amplifier (IA) is a type of differential amplifier that has been optimized for high input impedance, precise gain, and excellent common-mode rejection. These characteristics make it ...

If you’re the sort who finds beauty in symmetry – and I’m not talking about your latest PCB layout – then you’ll appreciate this clever take on the long-tailed pair. [Kevin]’s video on this topic ...

An instrumentation amplifier (INA) built using three operational amplifiers (op amps) can provide performance advantages in terms of high input impedance, low output impedance, easily adjustable gain, ...

Last week we explored the importance of good friends and keeping good company. Our social circle influences our character and how we develop socially. We had a small insight into the social life of ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Test and measurement instruments and systems can get a performance boost when they incorporate advanced radio-frequency (RF) devices. These include RF fully differential amplifiers (FDAs), RF ...

How to use DC-coupling for RF sampling ADCs. How to improve system linearity. Higher data rates in wireless communication systems and the use of narrower pulses in radars to resolve close targets ...
