What to Do When the External Reference Voltage of the MCU ADC Changes?

This article is the second in a series discussing peripheral modules of microcontrollers, focusing on how to improve ADC conversion accuracy.In this article, I will summarize the understanding of the reference voltage for ADCs, which many engineers are not very clear about, especially in scenarios where the ADC is used with a battery directly powering … Read more

Two Methods for Successfully Calibrating Open-Loop DAC Signal Chains

Two Methods for Successfully Calibrating Open-Loop DAC Signal Chains

Any practical electronic application will be affected by multiple sources of error, which can cause even the most precise components to deviate from their specified behavior in the datasheet. When the application signal chain lacks built-in mechanisms to self-correct these errors, the only way to minimize their impact is to measure the errors and systematically … Read more
