    Simple circuit to test batery from solar panel

    Hi, To get a voltage from battery, you nedd a voltage divider in 0-5V input. For calculate a divider, you nedd know a input impedance from PLC. See in PLC manual. For top charged battery, voltage is 14V, for mesure this put a resistor between positive battery terminal and PLC input, this...

    Low Noise Voltage Source

    Paul, For clean and stable DC bias use a battery and precision voltage reference (ex.:REF02 from Burr-Brown). This best way for low noise DC bias. Burr-Brown and Analog devices have a instrumentation amplifier (Ex.: INA101, INA102,INA105, AD628, AD620, etc). Regards, M3

    Capacitor Selection

    Hi Shiju, Use a Tantalum capacitors or low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistence)electrolytic capacitors. When use a Tantalum capacitors, put a several devices in parallel, this capacitor not have a large capacitance. Regards, M3

    Anyone tried to use Compact Flash in an embedded system?

    AliPentland, Compact Flash no need special driver to run in DOS or Windows. This memory card have a built in microcontroller and just add this in IDE port of CPU board. I have trouble when use a CF for Boot, some CF not run. The better is Sandisk and Danelec. Regards, M3

    60 Hz Frequency Reference

    Rawlings, Try ML2036 or ML2035 from fairchild, this a simple DDS frequency generator with senoidal output. You need add a low pass filter and operational amplifier to obtain a desired output level. This device operate in any frequency from DC to 25KHz...
