Circuit Measures Microvolts In The Presence Of Volts :  08/23/04  Electronic Design - Design Briefs / Sometimes, it's necessary to make microvolt measurements in the presence of volts. For example, the need arose to measure the thermoelectric potentials in an RTD circuit in which the 10 V applied to self-heat the RTD made measuring such tiny)....
Circuit Provides 1.5V, 7Bus Termination:  09/14/95 EDN-Design Ideas
Circuit safely applies power to ICs:  11/22/2001 EDN - Design Ideas / Supervisory circuits normally monitor a microprocessor's supply voltage, asserting reset to the IC during power-up, power-down, and brownout. In this way, the circuit ensures that the supply voltage is stable before the microprocessor boots, thus preventing code-execution errors. Many analog and digital ICs also need a well-behaved start-up of their supply to avoid latch-up and logic-stat... .
