Zero-drift amplifiers finesse ultralow-frequency signals, Part 3
Modern zero-drift amplifiers provide the extremely low drift and noise performance, needed for processing many optical biological, and physical-world signals near 0 Hz. Contrary to what you might think, mechanical chopping is still alive and useful. Given the outstanding performance of electronic components, using a high-performance zero-drift amplifier seems the way to go. That is […]
IPX5-, IPX7-, and IPX8-rated speakers added to line of waterproof speakers
CUI Devices’ Audio Group announced the introduction of new IPX5, IPX7, and IPX8-rated speakers to its existing line of IP67-rated waterproof speakers. Ideal for protection against moisture and liquid ingress in harsh environments, the new CMS waterproof speaker models feature sound pressure levels from 85 to 108 dB and packages from 15 mm up to 57 mm with […]
Zero-drift amplifiers finesse ultralow-frequency signals, Part 2
Modern zero-drift amplifiers provide the extremely low drift and noise performance needed for processing many optical biological, and physical-world signals near 0 Hz. The ultimate limitations of chopping led designers to investigate another approach called auto-zeroing, which is especially feasible with integrated circuits. This is a dynamic correction technique that works by sampling and subtracting […]
Zero-drift amplifiers finesse ultralow-frequency signals, part 1
Modern zero-drift amplifiers provide the extremely low drift and noise performance needed for processing many optical biological, and physical-world signals near 0 Hz. In our world of ever-faster, wider-bandwidth signals and systems operating at higher and higher frequencies, it may seem that signals in the very-low-frequency range — down towards zero hertz (0 Hz) — […]
