The circuit in Figure 1 measures both the true-rms value and the rectified average value of an ac signal. This design uses two low-cost ICs in SOIC packages and consumes only 180 µA of quiescent ...

We all know that electric utilities in the United States generate electricity at various 60-Hz voltage levels that result in a sine wave waveform. The height, or amplitude, of this sine wave is called ...

On infrequent occasions, I am asked to design a circuit to measure the RMS value of a current or voltage for some kind of power measurement. Since the work I do is hardly unique, I thought some of you ...

How to measure linearity of an ADC using sine-wave input. How do non-idealities of a sine wave affect ADC linearity while testing it. Testing an ADC’s linearity. To obtain the transfer function of an ...
