Measuring voltage and current is an important part of the development process for any hardware product. Especially when developing a low power device, the knowledge of how much power the device is drawing at each mode of its operation is critical to the correct estimation of its battery...

Petteri Aimonen designed and built his own voltage and current reference: When developing a data acquisition system, I ran into a need of having fairly accurate current reference to compare against, 0.1% accuracy or better. This is not a particularly high standard, but unable to find a...

With a code size of 1KB on an ATtiny13A MCU, this tiny module measures voltages up to 22 volts and current up to 5 amps. This project is published by Tirdad Sadri Nejad. He writes: There are a lot of so-called "USB doctor" modules which are used for monitoring currents flowing through...

Pokit Innovations has done it again. Hot on the heels of pokitMeter’s success on Kickstarter and beyond, the pokit team are ready to ramp it up with their next product – Pokit PRO. This new electronic measurement tool will be launched as the company’s second Kickstarter campaign...

Joulescope™ enables designers, engineers, and makers to quickly and easily optimize the energy consumption and battery life of a target device. Joulescope is designed to automatically handle wide current ranges and rapid changes in energy consumption, while allowing the target...

Tektronix, a US-based company, has introduced two new Keithley 6½-digit models to its line of Digital Multimeters (DMMs) and data-acquisition systems: The new DMM6500 DMM and also the new DAQ6510 data-acquisition system. The company has also upgraded their Kickstart measurement...

Maxim Integrated has posted details of the MAX44299, a low-side current, voltage, and power monitoring circuit that provides an analogue output current proportional to the measured current, voltage, and the internally calculated instantaneous power. The power monitor offers high...

Maurizio @ emcelettronica.com tipped us with his latest article on how to generate analog voltages using a microcontroller. Many times, designers are faced with the need of generating analogue or analog voltage levels in purely digital circuits. Although the market provides today a...
