TELEPHONE_AMPLIFIER

Published:2009/7/7 22:53:00 Author:May

Audio from the telephone is inductively coupled to the base of Q1, which is used as a preamp. The preamp provides a gain of about 75 dB, to boost the input signal from about 4 mV to about 300 mV pk-pk. If you use a higher gain transistor, increase the value of R9 to produce a Q point, measured from minus to the collector of Q1, of one-half the supply voltage. The Q1 output signal is coupled through C3 to R7, which serves as a volume or drive-level control, to U1, a dual, 2 w amplifier connected in cascade. Pins 1 through 7 serve as a driver for the final amplifier, pins 8 through 13. Compensation and balance is accomplished by components R1 through R6 and C4, C6, and C7. Pins 3 through 5, and 10 through 12 should be tied to the negative supply rail.   (View)

DUPLEX_LINE_AMPLIFIER

Published:2009/7/7 22:15:00 Author:May

This circuit is a bidirectional amplifier that can amplify both signals of a duplex telephone conversation. It uses the principle of negative resistance. Obviously, such an amplifier could easily be unstable; however, you can adjust R1 for maximum amplification and the circuit will remain stable. The LM324 op amps can be replaced with op amps that would distort less, such as the LM1558, LF412, LF353, or LF442.   (View)

ASUP2_SUP_BSUP2_SUP

Published:2009/7/7 21:48:00 Author:May

Transfer function Vour = (A2-B2)/10 is easily generated by AD534 analog multiplier.Differential inputs on Z terminals permit addition of feedback attenuator to decrease scale factor (or increase signal gain) from 40 to nominal value of 10. Feedback attenuation increases output offset proportionally; to make offset adjustment, connect 4.7-megohm resistor between Z1 and wiper of 50K pot connected across power supplies.-R.

THERMOCOUPLE_PREAMPLIFIER

Published:2009/7/7 9:11:00 Author:May

The MAX420 is operated at a gain of 191 to convert the 52 μV/'℃ output of the type J thermo-couple to a 10 mV/℃ signal. The -2.2 mV/℃ tempco of the 2N3904 is added into the summing junction with a gain of 42.2 to provide cold-junction compensation. The ICL8069 is used to remove the offset caused by the 600-mV initial voltage of the 2N3904. Adjust the 10-KΩ trimpot for the proper reading with the 2N3904 and isothermal connection block at a temperature near the center of the cir-cuit's operating range. Use the component values shown in parentheses when using a type K thermo-couple.   (View)

DIFFERENTIAL_INSTRUMENTATION_AMPLIFIER

Published:2009/7/7 9:09:00 Author:May

This circuit relies on extremely high input impedance for effective operation. The HA-5180 with its JFET input stage, performs well as a pre-amplifier. The standard three amplifier conftgura-tion is used with very close matching of the resistor ratios R5/R4 and (R1 + R8)/R6, to insure high common-mode rejection (CMR). The gain is con-trolled through fi3 and is equal to 2R1/R3. Additional gain can be had by increasing the ratios R5/R4 and (R7 + R8)/R6. The capacitors C1 and C2 improve the ac response by limiting the effects of transients and noise. Two suggested values are given for maximum transient suppression at fre-quencies of interest. Some of the faster DVM's are operating at peak sampling frequency of 3-kHz, hence the 4-kHz, low-pass time constant. The 40-kHz, low-pass time constant for ac voltage ranges is an arbitrary choice, but should be chosen to match the bandwidth of the other components in the sys-tem. C1 and C2 might however, reduce CMR for ac signals if not closely matched. Input impedances have also been added to provide adequate dc bias currents for the HA-5180 when open-circuited.   (View)

Published:2009/7/7 8:58:00 Author:May

This differential amplifier uses the isolated high-impedance inputs of the CA3420 BiMOS op amp. Because the CA3240's input current is only 50 pA maximum, 10-MΩ resistors can be used in series with the input probes to limit the current to 2 μA under a fault condition.   (View)
