Noise Optimization in Sensor Signal Conditioning Circuits (Part I & II)
View Part 1
Running Time: 1 Hour
There have been many papers and presentations on the topic of noise and still the term is used broadly with some level of confusion. Some engineers think of an amplifier's DC errors such as Vos, Ib as noise but others consider it to include AC parameters such as current noise and voltage noise density. Other typical questions include: What are noise types and their source in amplifiers and voltage references? How does noise behave with time, temperature and other conditions? How do we calculate the overall noise of a circuit? How can we optimize a circuit for best noise performance? This first part of a two-part series will explore the noise topic in detail and provide tips and answers to these types of questions.

Running Time: 1 Hour
This is the second part of a two-part series that explores the topic of signal noise in detail. The first session covered the types, sources, characteristics, and analysis techniques of noise, and introduced a low-noise design process. In this session, our expert will step through this entire design process and demonstrate how to manage noise to meet required signal chain performance objectives. Design "Do's" and "Don'ts" as well as a number of circuit optimization techniques will be presented.
