How to avoid errors in low-voltage measurements

June 17, 2016 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

Keithley-digital-multimeter

Edited by Miles Budimir Subtle difficulties can plague tests involving low voltages. Here are the biggest culprits and surefire ways to avoid them. Signal levels in state-of-the-art electronics have become diminishingly small. For example, ultra-low-voltage digital designs in CMOS now operate with minimum supply voltages in the 200-mV range. This trend has put a new […]

Current Digital Issue

A frequency you can count on There are few constants in life, but what few there are might include death, taxes, and a U.S. grid frequency that doesn’t vary by more than ±0.5 Hz. However, the certainty of the grid frequency is coming into question, thanks to the rising percentage of renewable energy sources that…
