Calibration Techniques for Analog Sensors and Mixed Signal Systems
This in-depth class will teach and illustrate calibration techniques to minimize inherent hardware gain and offset errors in various real-world analog systems. (Dec 2021)
This class will teach and illustrate calibration techniques to minimize inherent hardware gain and offset errors in various real-world analog systems. Learn how to design polynomial, look-up table models and feedback circuits to increase accuracy and precision of hardware circuits. The class will cover calibration techniques for variable DC outputs, SAR ADC inputs, discrete R2R ladder based DACs, accelerometers and gyros. Note this class will be taught by a representative from Real Digital.
