Understanding Transimpedance Amplifier
14/05/2022, hardwarebee
Weak signals cannot be measured with high accuracy because measurement instruments need high accurate elements, which increases the costs considerably. Therefore, the sensors’ output must be amplified, and then other conversions and measurements can be applied. Some sensors’ outputs are based on current, and their amplitudes are quite low. Hence,

14/05/2022, hardwarebee
A sample and hold circuit is an analog device that takes the voltage of a continually changing analog signal and holds it at a consistent level for a set amount of time. The sample and hold circuits are commonly used to filter out anomalies in input signal, in Analog-to-Digital Converters

12/05/2022, hardwarebee
A ballast resistor is a resistor that resistance increases as current flows through it is increases and its resistance reduces as current flows through it drops. As a result, a device that helps to preserve the electrical circuit’s stability. Even if there are variations in the applied voltage or the
