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

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

Regarding the reference voltage of the ADC, I have found that many engineers do not have a clear understanding. This is especially true in scenarios where the battery directly powers the MCU and the ADC is used. This article provides a brief summary. Taking the classic STM32F103 as an example, the reference voltage for the … Read more

The Role of ADC Reference Pins

The Role of ADC Reference Pins

Suddenly got stuck, what did I learn? Let me ask you, what is the maximum input conversion range of an ADC? (You can answer that in your mind, I can’t hear you), suddenly I was lost, what is it? This is the problem that this short article addresses.The ADC converts the input analog signal into … Read more

Understanding ADC: Discussion on Connection Methods Between Sensors and ADC

Introduction This article covers the following topics: What is the difference between Single-Ended Input and Differential Input? What are Fully Differential, True Differential, and Floating Differential? What are Reference Voltage (Vref) and Common Mode Voltage (Vcm)? Single-Ended Input The simplest connection between a sensor and an ADC is the Single-Ended Input. In this connection, the … Read more
