PRECISION，LINEARIZED_PLATINUM_RTD_SIGNAL_CONDITIONER

Published:2009/7/6 21:34:00 Author:May

The circuit provides complete, linearized signal conditioning for a platinum RTD.This LTC1043 based circuit is considerably simpler than instrumentation or multi-amplifier based designs, and will operate form a single 5 V supply. A1 serves as a voltage-controlled ground referred current source by differentially sensing the voltage across the 998 phm feedback resistor. The LTC1043 section which does this presents a single-ended signal to A1's negative input, closing a loop. The 2 k 0.1 μF combination sets amplifier roll-off well below the LTC1043's switching frequency and the configuration is stable. Because A1's loop forces a fixed voltage across the 887 ohm resistor, the current through Rp is constant. A1's operating point is primarily fixed by the 2.5 V LT1009 voltage reference.   (View)

DIGITAL_FOURIER

Published:2009/7/6 21:34:00 Author:May

Sine-wave generator produces Walsh-function approximation of sine function. Frequency of sine wave is set by square-wave input to pin 14 of 7493. Filter com ponents of opamp help smooth staircase wave form generated by summing Walsh-function components as weighted by resistors. Circuit is converter consisting of digital expander that expands input square wave into variety of digital waveforms and analog combiner that adds these waveforms to produce periodic analog output. Negative signs of Walsh harmonics are handled with digital inverter, and magnitudes are handled by choice of resistor value in summing junction. Signs and magnitudes are under microprocessor control. Net output is stairstep approximation to desired output, which can be smoothed by low-pass filter.-B. F. Jacoby, Walsh Functions: A Digital Fourier Series, BYTE, Sept. 1977, p 190-198.   (View)

8038 Wavefrom generator simultaneously generates synthesized sine wave and square wave. Square-wave output closes phase-locked loop through 741 opamp IC2 and dual flip-flop IC1, while sine-wave output functions as converted output. Center frequency is 0.15/R9C3.

VOLTAGE_CONTROLLED_NONLINEAR

Published:2009/7/6 21:05:00 Author:May

Circuit produces function E0 = Xy/12, where X is input voltage in range of +10 mV to +10 V and Y is analog programming voltage in range of -0.4 V to -10 V. Uses Optical Electronics 2534 temperature-compensated log feedback elements, +5 V reference, two high-frequency opamps, and one low-frequency opamp. 2534 produces log conversion of input signal. 5898 multiplier serves to vary scale factor of log signal. With offsets used as shown, +10 V input will always produce +10 V output regardless of Y input. To set up, adjust R4 until output does not change with Y for +10 V input, then adiust R7 for +10 V output with +10 V input.- Voltage- Controlled Non-Linear Function Generator, Optical Electronics, Tucson, AZ, Application Tip 10263.   (View)

SAMPLE_AND_HOLD_CIRCUIT_II

Published:2009/7/6 21:03:00 Author:May

Circuit Notes This circuit rapidly charges capacitor Csto to a voltage equal to an input signal. The input signal is then electrically disconnected from the capacitor with the charge still remaining on Csto Since Csto is in the negative feedback loop of the operational amplifier, the output voltage of the amplifier is equal to the voltage across the capacitor.Ideally, the voltage across Csto should remain constant causing the output of the amplifier to remain constant as well. However, the voltage across Csto will decay at a rate proportional to the current being injected or taken out of the current summing node of the amplifier. This current can come from four sources: leakage resistance ofCsto, leakage current due to the solid state switch SW2, currents due to high resistance paths on the circuit fixture, and most important, bias current of the operational amplifier. If the ICH8500A operational amplifier is employed, this bias current is almost non-existent (less than 0.01pA). Note that the voltages on the source, drain and gate of switch SW2 are zero or near zero when the circuit is in the hold mode. Careful construction will eliminate stray resistance paths and capacitor resistance can be eliminated if a quality capacitor is selected. The net result is a low drift sample and hold circuit.The circuit can double as an integrator. In this application the input voltage is applied to the integrator input terminal. The time constant of the circuit is the product of R1 and Csto.   (View)
