Low-power, low-cost ceramic piezoelectric rate gyros are available, but they lack the low-temperature-coefficient characteristics of their quartz counterparts. However, you can use a servo amplifier to remove the dc level shift...

At least two classic ways exist to address applications requiring sampling of a sum of analog voltages. The most common way is to cascade a classic analog adder and a sample-and-hold amplifier...
Various switching regulator circuits exist to provide positive- to-negative conversion. Unfortunately, most controllers cannot sense the negative output directly; they require a positive feedback signal derived from the negative output...
The circuits shows a PWM ramp generator that you can use in low-cost switch-mode dc/dc power supplies. Its supply voltage can range from 5 to 35 V dc, and you can set the output-ramp amplitude of 0.3 to 1 V....
The sample and hold circuit is considerably more complex than the oscillator...
The switching is arranged so that there are no unused resistors attached to the signal circuit; they are attached to the ground. The switching for the 3/10/13 dB attenuators and ‘External filter’ are covered in the next section...
Design a wideband analog multimeter to measure AC voltages and currents from 20 Hz to 1 MHz with a selectable sensitivity from 1 mV to 100 V, while the ammeter has a selectable current sensitivity of 10 mA to 10 A...
RFID tags, circuits that detect a “wake-up” call and return a burst of data, must operate on very low quiescent current for months or years, yet have enough battery power in reserve to answer an incoming call...
Despite the increasing availability and declining cost of on-chip analog peripherals, the humble PWM DAC retains its appeal as a “free” DAC that can repurpose an uncommitted DIO pin and counter/timer module...
With linear regulators, you measure dropout voltage, VIN – VOUT, at the minimum input voltage for which the IC sustains regulation. Low dropout means longer battery life, because the load circuit continues to operate while the battery discharges to a lower terminal voltage...
