How to avoid errors in low-voltage measurements
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 […]
