Ratiometric_AID_converter_with_centered_reference_using_resistors

Published:2009/7/22 23:54:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit is similar to that of Fig. 6-13 and 6-15, except that the reference is provided by fixed resistors. Resistors R1 and R2 are selected to provide odd values of reference voltage required by certain transducers (voltages not normally available with adjustable Zeners, such as the LM336). Notice that R3 must be equal to R1, and that both -VREF and +VREF are applied to the ADC through op amps connected for unity gain.   (View)

This circuit is similar to that of Fig. 6-13, except that the reference is provided by an LM336 (2.5 V). R1 and R2 should be chosen so that they limit current through the LM336 to about 5 mA, and should track each other over temperature.   (View)

FET_DRIVE

Published:2009/7/6 6:59:00 Author:May

National PF5102 JFET is combined with LF356 opamp to give low noise and high gain, for use as wide-bandwidth AC amplifier. Typical gain for combination shown is about 1000. Any other opamp can be used as long as it meets slew rate and bandwidth requirements.- FET Databook, National Semiconductor, Santa Clara, CA, 1977, p 6-17-6-19.   (View)

ELECTRONICS_BONGOS

Published:2009/7/6 6:57:00 Author:May

This circuit consists of twin-T sine-wave oscillators. Each oscillator has a filter in the feedback loop. If the loop gain is greater than unity, the circuit will oscillate. Gain is adjusted to be just less than unity. Touching the touch plate starts the oscillator, but the moment your finger is removed from the touch plate the oscillations will die away.The rate of decay is a function of circuit gain and controlled by RV1 (and RV3).   (View)

8_A_CURRENT_BOOSTER

Published:2009/7/6 6:53:00 Author:May

High-compliance power stage for LM143 high-voltage opamp provides very high peak drive currents along with output voltage swings to within 4 V of ±38 V supply under full load. Maximum output current depends on setting of current-adjusting pot R11 and on output voltage. Limit ranges from 14 A when R11 is 0 down to about 4 A for 5K. Maximum power output is 144 WRMS, for which frequency response is 3 dB down at 10 kHz. Voltage gain is 21. Q3-Q6 should be on common Thermalloy 6006B or equivalent heat-sink,- Linear Applications, Vol. 2, National Semiconductor, Santa Clara, CA, 1976, AN-127, p 5-6.   (View)

CAPACITANCE_MU_LTIPLIER

Published:2009/7/6 6:49:00 Author:May

Resistance ratio determines factor by which value of C1 is multiplied when used in simple opamp circuit shown. With values shown, ratio is 1000 and 10-μF capacitor provides effective capacitance of 10,000μF. Q of circuit is limited by effective series resistance, so R1 should be as large as practical. Opamp type is not critical- Signetics Analog Data Manual, Signetics, Sunnyvale, CA, 1977, p 640-641.   (View)

MINIMIZING_PHASE_ERROR

Published:2009/7/6 6:48:00 Author:May

Phase compensation circuit trimmed by R2 keeps phase error of LM118 opamp well below 1° from DC to 200 kHz. In-phase error due to gain peaking is also low. Feed-forward network connected to pin 8 improves stability, making feedback capacitor unnecessary. Step response has about 30% overshoot, and sine response has about +1 dB of peaking before going 3 dB down at about 2 MHz.-R. A.

SINGLE_ENDED_JFET

Published:2009/7/6 6:47:00 Author:May

Basic JFET amplifier is virtually free from popcorn noise problems of bipolar transistors and bipolar-input opamps. Combining JFET transconductance amplifier with current-to-voltage opamp adds high voltage gain and simplifies circuit applications. Gain-limiting 7.5K FET drain resistor is by passed and removed from gain equation. Parameter variation problems are minimized by biasing FET source through 15.1K resistance to negative supply. Gain variations are minimized by leaving 100 ohms of this resistance unby-passed.-L. Maxwell, FET Amplifiers-Take Another Look at These Devices, EDN Magazine, Sept. S, 1977, p 161-163.   (View)

SIGN_CHANGER

Published:2009/7/6 6:46:00 Author:May

When switch S1 grounds pin 3 of opamp, circuit becomes inverter providing 180° phase shift. When S1 is at position A, input voltage acts on both inputs of A1 and no current flows through R1 and R2; output voltage is then equal to input voltage. Switch permits remote programming of phase reversal. For higher input impedance, 1556 opamp can be used.-W. G. Jung, IC Op-Amp Cookbook, Howard W. Sams, Indianapolis, IN, 1974, p 208-209.   (View)

DEAD_BAND_RESFONSE

Published:2009/7/6 6:45:00 Author:May

With bridge in feed-back loop of opamp, low-level input signals give essentially 100% feedback around A1 so there is very little output voltage. When input current through R1 rises above allowable current limit of circuit, bridge opens and output voltage jumps to new level determined by R2. Input is then amplified by ratio of R2/R1 in normal linear manner. Circuit thus has dead-band property for low levels. Value of R1 sets threshold level.-W. G. Jung, IC Op-Amp Cookbook, Howard W. Sams, Indianapolis, IN, 1974, p 206-207.   (View)

PRECISE_RECTIFICATION

Published:2009/7/6 6:42:00 Author:May

Use of opamp in combination with silicon diode overcomes nonlinearity of diode at forward voltages under about 0.5 V. Offset-voltage pot is adjusted for symmetrical output waveform for small input voltages. D1 is connected in opamp feedback path so initial forward voltage drop required to make diode conduct is supplied by amplifier output. Second feedback path through D2 prevents output saturation on input half-cycles for which Dl is reverse-biased.-G. B. Clayton, Experiments with Operational Amplifiers, Wire-less World, June 1973, p 275-276.   (View)
