For at least four decades, dual-slope integrating A-to-D conversion has formed the core of most every digital multimeter and many industrial and instrumentation applications besides. Elegant in its ...

Handheld devices for measuring toxic gas, blood glucose, and similar applications are increasingly popular, and their low cost has made them throwaway devices, to be discarded when the battery or the ...

In a world where an analogue to digital converter is all too often an integrated peripheral buried inside a microcontroller, it’s easy to forget how simple these devices can be when built from first ...

In my previous column, I took a historical approach to delta-sigma modulation with the single-slope converter (May 8, p. 18, ED Online 18747). Jim Williams of Linear Tech responded, and he sent me a ...

This dual-slope temperature sensor combines one negative-sloped and one positive-sloped temp sensor to create a V-shaped output, which can be used to compensate for a dual-temperature-coefficient ...
