ADC circuit optimizes key encoding -  02/04/99 EDN-Design Ideas  You can implement a simple and low-cost keyboard encoder by using a key-controlled resistive divider connected to an ADC (Figure 1).....File has multiiple circuits, scroll to this one.... [Design Idea by Vitor Amorim, Siemens, and J Simões, University of Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal]
ADC controls multiple stepper-motors -  09/14/00 EDN-Design Ideas  Typical stepper-motor control circuits use either logic gates and flip-flops or shift registers to generate the proper sequences of binary codes.... [Design Idea by K Suresh, Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research, Kalpakkam, India]
ADC enables temperature compensated weigh scale measurements -  5-Jul-01 Issue of EDN  You can provide temperature compensation in weigh-scale applications by simultaneously measuring both the temperature of the bridge and the primary output of the bridge transducer..... [Design Idea by Albert O'Grady, Analog Devices, Limerick, Ireland]
ADC for programmable logic uses one capacitor -  12-Nov-09 Issue of EDN  Use a capacitor's charging and discharging time to sense a user input.... [Design Idea by Jef Thoné and Robert Puers, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Leuven, Belgium' Edited by Martin Rowe and Fran Granville]
ADC Helps Temperature Compensate Transducer -  01/20/94 EDN-Design Ideas  You can use many tricks to make temperature-compensated resistive full-bridge transducers, such as piezoresistive pressure or strain-guage sensors. Most of these tricks use some additional thermosensitive components that produce a compensating voltage or current. The disadvantages of such solutions are obvious  low accuracy....[Design Idea added 11/05] [Design Idea by Alexander L Belousov, Science Instruments Co, Baltimore, MD]
ADC interface conditions high level signals -  30-Oct-03 Issue of EDN  Designers who build equipment for the industrial market share a widespread problem. At one extreme, they must build equipment that supports ±10V bipolar voltages, often riding on a high common-mode level, a requirement enforced by 30 years of legacy industrial equipment. At the other extreme, the analog signal needs conditioning to match the full-scale range of a low-voltage, single-supply.... [Design Idea by Moshe Gerstenhaber and Stephen Lee, Analog Devices, Wilmington, MA]
ADC is Surprisingly Accurate -  06/09/94 EDN-Design Ideas  The reference voltage in Fig 1a's simple rail-to-rail PWM ADC is the only critical component. The input-voltage range extends from ground to the power rail which also acts as the reference. The circuit is essentially a variation on the classic dual-slope integrator,.... [Design Idea by Mike Walne, Farnell Instruments, Wetherby, West Yorkshire, UK]
ADC Multiplexer Expander works Transparently -  06/20/96 EDN-Design Ideas  When you need to multiplex a large number of analog signals into an ADC—as in medical, instrumentation, and or applications—you may find it difficult to find an appropriate ADC that has enough channels to fit your system's needs. You can add external multiplexers, but se normally require additional control lines from  CPU. Also,  time required.... [Design Idea by Mark Seiders, National Semiconductor, Santa Clara, CA]
ADC Shuts Down Analog Circuitry -  03/03/94 EDN-Design Ideas  By placing a variable component in the positive feedback loop of an op amp; you can vary the gain of the stage logarithmically with respect to a linear resistance or conductance.... [Design Idea by Emmy Denton,  National Semiconductor, Santa Clara, CA]
