STRONG_NOISE_SUPPRESSING_AUDIO_AMPLIFIER

Published:2009/7/17 4:33:00 Author:Jessie

Feedback circuit limits amplitude of low-frequency signals such as those produced by wind-moved tree branches, to prevent masking vehicular target signals in portable doppler radar. Low-pass filtering compensates for poor bass response of human ear permitting detection of slow-moving targets such as walking man.-J. Scott, D. Randise, and R P.

Norton_regulator_with_high_voltage_input_protection

Published:2009/7/17 4:24:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit uses one section of an LM3900 as the control element in a voltage regulator. Q1 and Q2 absorb any high input voltages, and therefore must be high-voltage transistors. With the values shown, the output is about 8.2 V.Diodes can be added (as shown in Fig.11-42B) to reduce ripple feedthrough and input-voltage dependence. Short-circuit protection can also be added, as shown in Fig. 11 -42C. National Semiconductor Linear Applications Handbook, 1991, p. 225 226   (View)

TRANSISTOR_TURNS_OP_AMP_ON_OR_OFF

Published:2009/7/10 21:22:00 Author:May

When transistor Q1 is switched off, the circuit behaves as a voltage follower. By applying a positive voltage to the emitter of Q1 via a 10 Ω resistor, the transistor is made to turn on and go into saturation. Thus, the lower end of R4 is connected to ground. The circuit has not changed into that of a differential amplifier, except that the voltage difference is always 0 V As long as the resistor ratios in the two branches around the op amp are in the same ratio, the output should be zero. A 47-kΩ resistor is used to null out any ratio errors so that the OFF attenuation is more than 60 dB. The high common-mode rejection ratio of a 741 enables this large attenuation to be obtained.   (View)
