Q&A Input offset voltage/bias current noise contribution in operational amplifiers

While input offset voltage is technically noise in the sense that it is something unwanted added to the signal, it is not included in opamp noise specs as far as I have seen. Think of the "noise" ...

Meta Are questions about electronics market trends on-topic?

I largely agree with Olin Lathrop's answer. However, I think questions should be on-topic also if the trends have no direct technical motivations, on condition that the reasons can be backed by ha...

Q&A Motor Controller - What might be the purpose of these resistors?

I was looking at the video of the Tesla Model 3 motor controller(400VDC, 500A) disassembly and noticed a resistor network as in the picture below. They are 2k resistors(SMD code 202). See the pic...

Q&A How do PLCs normally measure 4-20mA current loops?

You can predictably generate a voltage with a R-2R ladder or a Rn^2 selector and then use a commodity V-I industrial converter interface to generate the current loop the customer desires. You cann...

Q&A How to design a low-pass filter when certain conditions must be met

Simple filters don't cause a fixed ratio change in amplitude (dB) for a fixed change in linear frequency (Hz). Making the amplitude change by -0.1 dB/Hz would be very difficult. This could be don...

Q&A Effect of adding stages to a filter

It depends on whther the stages are buffered, or not. If they are buffered then it's more simple, because an RC lowpass has the transfer function: $$H_1(s)=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{RC}}{s+\dfrac{1}{RC}}=\...

Q&A What reactance actually is?

"React" implies a response to an "event". For an inductor, the "event" is a change in current, $\frac{di}{dt}$ For a capacitor, the "event" is a change in voltage, $\frac{dv}{dt}$ $$$$ So, ...

I'd rather use the AD4111 as a high-side current sensor, instead of creating an "inverter" which would generate an equal and opposite current. Each current input of the AD4111 (IINx+ and IINx-) is...
