The best anti-static ESD mats and wrist straps for electronics work: 8 picks including the Bertech high temperature mat kit, the SCS 2214 wrist strap, the iFixit portable mat, Kaisi, StaticTek and StarTech, compared on surface resistivity, heat resistance, grounding hardware and honest pros and cons.
In the last tutorial, we learned about counter-type ADCs, which are single slope ADCs with an incrementing slope. Further, the counter value only increments until it matches the analog input …
The counter type analog-to-digital converter is a simple ADC, also known as a staircase or ramp analog-to-digital converter. As its name suggests, it uses a binary counter for the conversion …
In this tutorial, we will discuss slope-type or integration-type ADCs. In the last tutorial, we discussed successive approximation and flash-type ADC. There are two types of slope ADCs: single slope …
In this tutorial, we will discuss the workings of a flash ADC. A flash ADC, or flash analog-to-digital converter, is the fastest type of ADC among all the other ADCs. …
In this tutorial, we will talk about successive approximation ADC. This type of ADC converts an analog signal into a digital signal using a binary search through all possible quantization …
The binary-weighted DAC is appropriate for DACs with low resolving power. This is because it requires a wide range of precise resistors to perform error-free operations for high-order DACs. It …
In this tutorial, we will discuss the workings of a binary-weighted resistor DAC. It consists of an inverting amplifier op-amp and a string of weighted resistors to distinguish each bit …
A transistor is an electronic component that is also used as a digital switch. It works similarly to a mechanical switch, but it is controlled by a digital high logic …
Zero crossing detection circuit comprises two main electronics components. One is an operational amplifier and the second one is passive electronic components such as resistors, capacitors. It detects a zero …
