#113187 - Chopper schematic
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Kai said:
The best way to eliminate the influence of offset voltages, voltage drops of input bias currents of OPamps and thermo potentials of contacts is to use a chopper. A chopper modulates the current through the contact in a suited way and takes only those components of signal voltage into calculation which result from this modulation. All other static DC components like offset voltage, voltage drops of input bias currents or thermo potentials will vanish by this methode.


You could try the following scheme:

   Contact resistance?            01/01/70 00:00      
   Correction : Sorry its 10mV to 2500mV            01/01/70 00:00      
   Voltage or current, pick one            01/01/70 00:00      
      I can choose Test current as 10mA            01/01/70 00:00      
         typical constact resistance ?            01/01/70 00:00      
      yes, but            01/01/70 00:00
