8 Conclusion

This application note provides an overview of the measurement of TDS in water and emphasizes that the TDS in water is a function of conductivity and has a nonlinear characteristic. It discusses the two different TDS measurement methods as well as the advantages of the relaxation oscillator method for TDS measurement. It also demonstrates how PIC16F17146 can be used to implement a simple home RO system.
