Norton_positive_feedback_oscillator

Published:2009/7/25 1:39:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit shows a Norton used as a driver for a piezoelectric transducer (a warning type of noise maker). The output is returned back to the (+) terminal through the transducer to sustain oscillation (at the resonant frequency determined by the transducer). Resistors R1 and R2 bias the output voltage at V+/2 to keep the amplifier in the active region.   (View)

Norton_lamp_relay_driver_300_mA_loads

Published:2009/7/25 1:36:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit is similar to that of Fig. 11-10, except that the load capability is increased to 300 mA. R1 and R2 hold Q2 off when the Norton OTA output is high. R2 limits the base drive when Q1 goes on. Pin 14 must tie to the same power supply as the emitter of Q1 to guarantee that Q1 can be held off. For inductive loads, such as a relay coil, a backswing diode must be added to prevent large inductive voltage kicks during the on/off switching interval.   (View)

Norton_ultra_linear_tuzo_decade_VCO

Published:2009/7/25 2:13:00 Author:Jessie

In this circuit, a Norton is used to drive a fast PLL to form a VCO (which is essentially a form of V/F converter described in chapter 12). The frequency range is from 50 kHz to 5 MHz. Figure 11-23B shows the linearity error over the frequency range. To calibrate, monitor the output with a frequency counter, apply the voltages shown at VIN, and adjust both the zero and full-scale pots for the correct frequency.   (View)

PREAMP_WITH_TEST_TONE

Published:2009/6/28 23:35:00 Author:May

Built around Signetics N5558V dual opamp or equivalent Motorola MC1458CP2, National LM1458, or Texas Instruments SN72558P. First half of opamp is used either as gain stage for increasing voltage level of carbon microphone or as AF Wienbridge tone oscillator, depending on position of S1. Frequency is determined byvaluesof C1, C2, R4 and R5. Silicon signal diodes form nonlinear control element. Adjust R6 until oscillator out-put at TPt is 10 V P-P. FET provides constant current through variable resistance of carbon microphone, to give audio input voltage. Sec-ond opamp is active low-pass filter with 3.3-kHz cutoff, rolloff of 12 dB per octave, and voltage gain of 10.-H.

Norton_high_corrtmon_mode_voltage_difference_amplifier

Published:2009/7/25 2:06:00 Author:Jessie

In this circuit, the Norton amplifies the difference in voltage between V1 and V2, but both inputs can be riding on a common-mode (chapter 10) level as high as about 250 Vdc without exceeding the maximum input current. By making the bias current (ISET) directly proportional to the input level, a 20-dB CMRR improvement is possible (when R1 is adjusted for maximum CMRR at the maximum input common-mode voltage).   (View)

PHASE_COMPARATOR

Published:2009/6/28 23:34:00 Author:May

High-level reference or carrier signal and low-level reference signal are applied to multiplier inputs of Exar XR-S200 PLL IC. If both inputs are same frequency, DC output is proportional to phase angle between inputs. For low-level inputs, conversion gain is proportional to input signal amplitude. For high-level inputs (VS above 40 mVRMS), conversion gain is constant at about 2 V/rad.— Phase-Locked Loop Data Book, Exar Integrated Systems, Sunnyvale, CA, 1978, p 9-16.   (View)

Signetics 540 drives complementary output transistors to give high output current for driving 8-ohm loudspeaker. Feedback is adjusted to give AC gain of 40 dB. Gain rolls of to unity at DC to prevent DC offset voltages from being amplified to level that might damage loudspeaker circuit. Power limiting is provided by placing resistor network around output stage.- Signetics Analog Data Manual, Signetics, Sunnyvale, CA, 1977, p 762-763.   (View)

Norton_bi_quad_filter

Published:2009/7/25 1:47:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit shows both sections of a dual Norton used to form a bi-quad filter. Figures 11-15B and 11-15C show the design equations and bias equations, respectively. Note that the basic circuit can be connected to provide three types of filter action. With type I, VO1 is a band-pass, and VO2 is a low-pass. With type II, VO1 is high-pass and VO2 is band-pass. With type II, VO1 is notch or band-reject, and VO2 is not used. Note that one section of the Norton is connected as a noninverting integrator (Fig. 11-14), and the other section is inverting. The circuit provides satisfactory operation up to about 2 MHz.   (View)

VARIABLE_WINDOW

Published:2009/6/28 23:30:00 Author:May

Single comparator can be programmed for wide variety of applications. One reference input voltage positions center of window, and other sets width of window. Sum or difference of reference voltages must not exceed ±10 V; if larger voltages must be handled, add voltage divider to scale them down into comparison range. A1 is subtractor, generating voltage Eb - Ea for use as lower limit voltage. Lower limit is added to 2Eb at A2 to derive upper Iimit voltage Eb + Ea.－W. G. Jung, IC Op-Amp Cookbook, Howard W.

Norton_low_noise_amplifier

Published:2009/7/25 2:00:00 Author:Jessie

The programmability of a Norton and the ability to shut off thenoninverting input current mirror can be used to Improve nolse characteristics. For an inverting application, where the noninverting input would only be used for bias, an alternate biasing scheme (the nVBE biasing) can be used as shown in Fig. 11-20A. This allows shutting off the input current mirror, which, in itself, reduces input noise by a factor of two. Also, the input-stage programming current can be increased to further reduce the noise voltage at the expense of an increase in input noise current and low-frequency 1/f noise (which is generally not a problem in low-input-impedance wideband amplifiers). The typical effect on noise versus input-stage current is shown in Figs. 11-20B and 11-20C.   (View)

Circuit shown per-mits operation of Slgnetics NE540 power driver front single-polarity 12-V supply of auto. Bipolar supplies for differential inputs of 540 are achieved by returning inputs to half of available supply or 6 V. Load is AC coupled because am piif et has DC gain of 1, and amplifier output is therefore 6 VDC. 39-ohm supply resistors are selected for minimum crossover distortion.- Signetics Analog Data Manual, Signetics, Sunnyvale, CA, 1977, p 764.   (View)
