What is more precise: using an op-amp or internal PGA of an ADC to amplify a low-voltage signal?
I'm wanting to current sense a 10A load with high precision. I'm planning to use a current shunt resistor and then amplify/filter this signal before sending it to an ADC. Which design flow is ...

Amplifier with selectable inversion?
Two inputs:
Signal: 0-5 volt analog voltage
Direction: Standard TTL logic
Output: A single analog voltage from -10 to +10 volts
When Direction is low, the Signal is amplified and inverted, so that ...

Why does an RTD sensor circuit use a reference resistor that is 4x the RTD value?
I'm using an Adafruit MAX31865 board to measure the resistance of a PT1000 RTD. The board comes with a 4300-Ohm resistor.
I'm trying to model the amount of noise (in degC/sqrt(Hz)) that I expect out ...
