We have seen the massive ecosystem the Arduino has built and established over the last few years and this has made developing with Arduino quite leisurely. It is way easier to solve a programming issue or hardware issue with Arduino unlike other hardware boards mostly due to its...
Continue ReadingHow to make precision measurements on a nanopower budget
Gen Vansteeg @ ti.com discuss about precision measurement for nanopower scale using OPAMPs. Heightened accuracy and speed in an operational amplifier (op amp) has a direct relationship with the magnitude of its power consumption. Decreasing the current consumption decreases the gain...
