In order for an op amp to output a linear voltage, the input signal must be within the device’s input common-mode range specification (V CM) and the output must be within the device’s output swing ...

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 ...

In the first article about measurement systems we looked at sensors as a way to bring data into a measurement system. I explained that a sensor measures physical quantities which are turned into a ...

Even during routine operation of an instrumentation amplifier, a fault can develop between the sensor and the amp. This fault could result from misuse, the environment, or low-quality assembly, among ...
