#168729 - Precision Responding to: ???'s previous message |
You cannot hope to get high-precision, low-noise results without a high-precision, low-noise design!
And, unsurprisingly, a high-precision, low-noise design is not a trivial exercise. I have seen more posts than I have fingers where someone confused precision with resolution. I specifically recall a sentence "my chip must be bad, the ADC jumps between readings of 1200 and 1233". Further in te therad it was revealed that he used a one or two layer board with no ground plane, no separate analog ground .... and the cause of the 'erratic' readings, he insisted was the chip that claimed 24 bits.
