Fun with Voltage Regulators

I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about op amps and comparators lately. One of the common uses of an op amp is as a “unity gain” buffer, meaning that the output voltage is as close as possible to being the same as the input voltage. At a glance this might seem like a […]

Using Fixed Voltage Reference FVR for A D conversion in enhanced mid range PIC microcontrollers

Using Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR) for A/D conversion in enhanced mid-range PIC microcontrollers

The reference voltage plays a very important role in any A/D conversion. It determines both the range and the resolution (Volt/Count) of the A/D conversion. Besides, the accuracy of the conversion also depends upon how stable the reference voltage is. Usually in PIC microcontrollers, the reference voltage for A/D conversion can be selected as the
