A data acquisition system comprises a signal processing chain including an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) circuit configured to: produce a digital output from an input signal; detect a specified signal feature of the input signal; and change an operating condition of an additional circuit of the signal processing chain in response to detecting the signal feature of the input signal.

Signal dependent reconfigurable data acquisition system

Amplifier systems for measuring a wide range of current are provided herein. In certain embodiments, an amplifier system includes a controllable sensing circuit, a first amplifier including an output configured to drive a device under test (DUT) through the controllable sensing circuit, and a second amplifier including an input coupled to the controllable sensing circuit and operable to generate a measurement signal indicating an amount of measured current of the DUT. The amplifier system further includes a control circuit operable to control a configuration or mode of the controllable sensing circuit suitable for a particular type of DUT.

Amplifier systems for measuring a wide range of current

Various examples are directed to configuring a configurable hardware module to perform a measurement of a physical quantity. A configuration manager may receive an indication of the physical quantity and performance factor data describing the measurement of the physical quantity. The configuration manager may generate a hardware configuration of the hardware based at least in part on the indication of the physical quantity and the performance factor data. The hardware configuration may comprise instruction data to configure the hardware module to execute a dynamic measurement of the physical quantity. The configuration manager may also generate configuration data describing the hardware configuration, wherein the configuration data comprises simulation data comprising input parameters for a simulation of the hardware configuration and hardware configuration data for configuring a hardware module to implement at least a portion of the hardware configuration.

Measurement-driven electronic device design environment and techniques

Amplifier systems for driving a wide range of loads are provided herein. In certain embodiments, an amplifier system includes a voltage output amplifier and a current output amplifier that are electrically coupled in parallel with one another between an input terminal and an output terminal. The amplifier system further includes a control circuit operable to control whether or not the voltage output amplifier and/or current output amplifier drive the output terminal.

Amplifier systems for driving a wide range of loads

Apparatus and methods for setting and clamping a node voltage are provided herein. In certain embodiments, a node control circuit includes a setting circuit for setting a voltage of a node based on a set signal. The node control circuit further includes at least one of a p-type follower clamp for clamping the node to an upper voltage limit based on an upper clamping control signal or an n-type follower clamp for clamping the node to a lower voltage limit based on a lower clamping control signal. When including both clamps, the node operates with a voltage level set by the set signal, but saturates at the upper voltage limit established by the upper clamping control signal and at the lower voltage limit established by the lower clamping control signal.

Apparatus and methods for setting and clamping a node voltage

This application discusses techniques for reducing the energy of an output ripple in a voltage converter at a switching frequency of the voltage converter. In certain examples, an amplitude of a reference voltage can be modulated with a time-varying random value or pseudo-random value to provide a reduction in the energy of the output ripple at the switching frequency of the voltage converter.
