A sensitive radiation monitor may be sim-ply constructed with a large-area photodiode and a quad operational amplifier. Replacing the glass window of the diode with Mylar foil wili shield it from light and infrared energy,enabbling it to respond to such nuclear radiation as alpha and beta particles and gamma rays. A4 integrates the output of A3 In order to drive amlcroammeter,Al microfarad capacitor isused in the integratingnetwork.A lower value,say,33 nanofarads,will make it possible todrive a small loudspeaker (50-hertz output signal) or light-emitting diode.

A commercial diode is the detector in this highly accurate radiation monitor. The lowdrift FET-input op amp amplifies detector current to a usable level, and the chopper-stabilized amplifier then provides additional gain while minimizing any error caused by ambient-temperature fluctuations. Gain is adjusted so that the output voltage is 1% of incident radia-tion intensity in rads per minute; therefore voltage can be displayed on 3 1/2 digit DVM for direct reading of dosage rate. Output voltage from the monitor is linearly proportional to radiation intensity at the diode. (View)

Gates GI and G2 together with resistors RI and R2 form a simple voltage monitor that has a trip point of 1.4 volts. Gate G3 is simply an inverter. The display section of the tester consists of a common anode alphanumeric LED and current-limiting resistors. It indicates whether the input voltage is above or below 1.4 V, and displays a H or a L (for high or low logic-level) respectively. (View)

Circuit Notes
R1 senses current flow of a power supply. The JFET is used as a buffer because ID = Is; therefore the output monitor voltage accu-rately reflects the power supply current flow. (View)

Circuit Notes
The circuit may be used as a sensitive current detector or as a voltage detector having high input impedance. RI is set so that the voltage at point (A) is Vz to 3A volts below the level that fires the 2N494C. A small input cur-rent (Iin) of only 40 nanoamperes will charge C2 and raise the voltage at the emitter to the firing level. When the 2N494C fires, both capacitors, C1 and C2, are discharged through the 27 ohm resistor, which generates a positive pulse with sufficient amplitude to trigger a con-trolled rectifier (SCR), or other pulse sensitive circuitry.

Circuit Notes
A very sensitive pico ammeter (-1V/pA) employs the amplifier in the inverting or cur-rent summing mode. Care must be taken to eliminate stray currents from flowing into the current summing mode. It takes approximately 5 for the circuit to stabilize to within 1% of its final output voltage after a step function of input current has been applied. The internal diodes CR1 and CR2 together with external resistor R1 to protect the input stage of the amplifier from voltage transients. (View)

Alarm is actuated when liquid level is above the probes and remains activated even if the level drops below the probes. This latching action lets you know that the pre-set level has been reached or exceeded sometime in the past. (View)

The meter reading is directly proportional to the logarithm of the input light power. The logarithmic circuit behavior arises from the nonlineardiode pnjunction current/voltage relationship. The diode in the amplifier output prevents output voltage from becoming nega-tive (thereby pegging the meter), which may happen at low lightlevels due to amplifier bias currents. R1 adjusts the meter full-scale deflection, enabling the meter to be calibrated. (View)

This circuit uses a low-input-bias op amp to give a steady dc indication of light level. To reduce circuit sensitivity to light, R1 can be reduced, but should not be less than 100 K. The capacitor values in the circuit are chosen to provide a time constant sufficient to filter high-frequency light variations that might arise, for example, from fluorescent lights. (View)

The detector uses three sections of an L144 and a DC4011 type CMOS NAND gate to make a very low power voltage monitor. If the input voltage, VIN, is above VHIGH or below VLOW, the output will be a logical high. If (and only if) the input is between the limits will the output be low. The 1 megohm resistors RI, R2, R3, and R4 translate the bipolar ±10V swing of the op amps to a 0 to 10V swing acceptable to the ground-referenced CM0S logic. (View)
