Scott @ swharden.com show us how to interface an analog signal to a microcontroller that doesn't have an ADC. I recently had the need to carefully measure a voltage with a microcontroller which lacks an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and I hacked together a quick and dirty method...

One of the biggest problems you could face in your current/next project, is when you’re out of free inputs to use. Sometimes you can save a lot of inputs using some tricks, and there’re really a lot of them. In this blog post we’re going to know how you can use many push buttons...

Loren Siebert @ ti.com discuss about how to interface signals that have a reference voltage that isn't 0V while preserving the DC information. Many signal paths are direct current (DC)-coupled, and this can lead to challenges when different portions of the signal path require...

Tecwyn Twmffat @ instructables.com discuss about the notlinearity introduced by adding a pull down resistor and why you may get unpredictable readings from your ADC. For many years I found that I would get strange, unpredictable, readings from my sensor related projects at the...

Moshe Gerstanhaber @ edn.com provides an simple ADC interface using instrumentation amplifier IC. Real-world measurement requires the extraction of weak signals from noisy sources. High common-mode voltages are often present even in differential measurements. The usual approach to...

Dilshan Jayakody build a auto monitor brightness controller that adjusts your monitor brightness according to lighting conditions. He writes: The sensor unit of this system is build around PIC18F2550 8-bit microcontroller. To measure the light level we use LDR with MCU's inbuilt ADC....

SteelCity Electronics published an article about Analog Devices AD587KN 10V reference: I recently got hold of an Analog Devices AD587KN high precision 10.000V reference chip. This model of chip has an output value of 10.000V ± 5mV (that is, an output value of 9.995V to 10.005V)...

by hwmakers.eu: This is an example of a simple and cheap milliohmmeter that can be made by every maker. The core of the circuit are a current source (LT3092) and a current sense (INA225): a costant current flows through the milliohm resistor under test and the voltage at the current...
