Week #13: (11/26-30) SNR, AD524, Comparators, Temp Sensor

Post by rjagodowski »

This week we'll finish up our discussion of CMRR and SNR from Week #10.

We will also discuss an Instrumentation Amplifier on a chip, the Analog Devices AD524. We'll investigate the key specs on the data sheet, the pin-programmable gain options as well as the user-settable gain options. Sample Programmable Gain circuits are shown on Page 16. On Page 16, note there is a typo on the Gain formula. The formula in the upper right of the page should be: RG=40,000/(G-1) . We'll also discuss the Sense and the Reference Terminals on page 18.

Then we begin the discussion on Precision Comparators:

This is a great video on Comparator Applications from Texas Instruments.

Before we discuss the Precision Comparators, we need to spend a few minutes introducing Open Collector Outputs, in this case, from EvilMadScientist.com

Comparators: LM-339 Data Sheet

This is the website that inspired this week's lab: ermicroblog. There are some typos on the schematics and their description of the circuit operation is misleading, which will be pointed out in class and when we build these circuits in lab. Actually, aside from the circuits, this site isn't so great. LOL
