- Adaptive resolution for ADCsDamian Bonicatto Phoenix BonicattoImpact of ADC resolution and its reference Engineers always want to get all they can from their circuits; this holds for analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). To maximize performance from an ADC, resolution is perhaps...May 29, 2025
- Need an extra ADC? Add one for a few centsDamian Bonicatto Phoenix BonicattoWhen designing devices with microcontrollers (MCU), I like to use some of the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) inputs to measure onboard voltages along with all the required sensors inputs. This means I often run out...Apr 11, 2025
- Creating a very fast edge rate generator for testing (or taking the pulse of your scope)Damian Bonicatto Phoenix BonicattoI recently purchased a new oscilloscope for home use. It’s a 250 MHz scope, but I was curious what the actual –3 dB frequency was as most scopes have a bit more upper end margin than their...Mar 18, 2024
- Hall effect split-core current sensor calibration stationDamian Bonicatto Phoenix BonicattoRecently, I’ve been working on a solar off-grid monitoring system. In the system are a few split-core Hall effect sensors to monitor DC current in the solar panel current, the battery charge current, and the...Dec 27, 2022
- Reduce acoustic noise from capacitorsAdding parts or cutting PCB slots can make a difference Some surface-mount capacitors exhibit acoustic noise when operated at frequencies in the audio range. A recent design uses 10-μF, 35V X5R 1206 ceramic...Sep 5, 2011
