The analysis of the basic op amp circuits (inverting, non-inverting and differential circuits) is performed taking into account the specifics of current and voltage amplifiers. The MATLAB function m-files are developed to predict the noise. The following characteristics are calculated: total output spot noise voltage; total equivalent input spot noise voltage; noise power; integrated noise with its two components, 1/f noise voltage and equivalent white noise voltage; noise figure. Data sheets are only needed to use programs for the particular circuit configuration. The results are verified with the PSpice simulator. The proposed MATLAB noise functions give the possibility of investigating the noise behavior of the basic analog blocks, which are characterized by accuracy and simplicity.","PeriodicalId":342004,"journal":{"name":"27th International Spring Seminar on Electronics Technology: Meeting the Challenges of Electronics Technology Progress, 2004.","volume":"183 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116110631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For measurement and data acquisition, a module from the I-7000 series, made by ICPDAS, was used which has great performance and is very easily to use. By combining the performance of these modules with the great flexibility and stability of the LabVIEW programming language, a measurement system can be designed that assures very good accuracy, stability and reliability, with low cost.","PeriodicalId":342004,"journal":{"name":"27th International Spring Seminar on Electronics Technology: Meeting the Challenges of Electronics Technology Progress, 2004.","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116168872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the main issue in designing instrumentation with such sensors is the ability of remote interaction in order to reduce as much is possible any interference with the measured physical value. This statement usually implies the use of low power embedded systems for acceleration and position sensing and wireless data transfer for acquiring relevant readings. This paper proposes a low power embedded sensing system for acceleration and position based on a common capacitive transducer. The system integrates in one single chip the signal conditioning blocks (for the transducers), the analog-to-digital converter and a fast infrared communication module for data transmission. The proposed solution increases the possibility of integrating arrays of such low-cost sensors in remote sensing network systems for acceleration and position, allowing an increased accuracy and performance for all interested domains of application.","PeriodicalId":342004,"journal":{"name":"27th International Spring Seminar on Electronics Technology: Meeting the Challenges of Electronics Technology Progress, 2004.","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121994446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The resources for control sensors which process the collected information are different and depend on the particular problem requiring solution. The fast growth of programmable logic naturally leads to sources for achieving a solution - these are XILINX's programmable logic devices.
