Designed for operation from 12.5-V supply, using driver stage to provide total power gain of about 30 dB for 3-30 MHz band. Negative collector-to-base feedback provides gain compensation in both driver and output stages. Low circuit impedances make layout and construction more critical than with higher-voltage circuits.-H.Granberg, Broadband Linear Power Amplifiers Using Push-Pull Transistors, Motorola, Phoenix, AZ, 1974, AN-593, p 7.

This thermometer is capable of 0.01℃ accuracy over -50℃ to + 150℃. A unique trimarrangement eliminates cumbersome trim interactions so that zero gain, and nonlinearity correction can be trimmed in one even trip. Extra op amps provide full Kelvin sensing on the sensor without adding drift and offset terms found in other designs. A1 is configured as a Howland current pump, biasing the sensor with a fixed current. Resistors R2, R3, R4 and R5 form a bridge driven into balance by A1. In balance, both inputs of A2 are at the same voltage. Since R6 = R7, A1 draws equal currents from both legs of the bridge. Any loading of the R4/R5 leg by the sensor would unbalance the bridge ; therefore, both bridge taps are given to the sensor open circuit voltage and no current is drawn. (View)

This RS-232 type line receiver to drive CMOS logic uses a Schmitt-trigger feedback network to give about 1-V input hysteresis for added noise immunity. A possible problem in an interface which connects two pieces of equipment, each plugged into a different ac receptacle, is that the power line voltage might appear at the receiver input when the interface connection is made or broken. The two diodes and a 3-W input resistor will protect the inputs under these conditions.

The DVM gives a direct indication of the temperature of the sensor in degrees Centigrade. The temperature sensor IC1 gives a nominal 1 μA per degree Kelvin which is converted to 10 mV per degree Kelvin by R1 and VR1. IC2 is a micropower, low input drift op amp with internal voltage reference and amplifier. The main op amp in IC1 is connected as a voltage follower to buffer the sensor voltage at R1.The second amplifier in IC1 is used to amplify the.2 V internal reference up to 2.73 V in order to offset the 273 degrees below 0℃. The output voltage of the unit is the differential output of the two op amps and is thus equal to 0.01 V per ℃. (View)

This circuit provides a single pulse to the gate of SCR Q2 each time that SCR Q1 turns on, thus turning Q2 on for the half-cycle following the half-cycle during which Q1was on. Q2 is turned on only when Q1 is turned on, and the load can be controlled by a signal applied to the gate of Q1. The control signal can be either dc or a power pulse. The SCR used must be capable of handling the maximum current requirements of the load to be driven. The 8-A 200-V SCRs shown will handle a 1-kW load. 2N6397s can also be used in this circuit, and will hands up to 12 A. (View)

This circuit determines whether more than one input in a group of digital inputs is active. It provides a digital measure of the number of active inputs, and it allows you to establish a threshold for majority-decision applications. That is, whether the number of active inputs is more than, less than, or equal to a value between 1 and 15. You can monitor more inputs by cascading the adders.
Each binary adder, IC1 and IC2, forms two full adders (FAs). Each FA monitors three input lines and generates a 2-bit output representing the number of inputs active. IC3 and IC4, by summing the outputs of two FAs plus an input line, individually measure how many in a group of seven inputs are active. Similarly, by monitoring the 3-bit outputs of IC3 and IC4 plus one input, IC5 measures how many in the group of 15 are active. The OR gate, IC6, simply indicates whether more than one input is active. (View)

This circuit is ideal for use as an over-under temperature monitor, where its dual output feature can be used to drive HIGH and LOW temperature indicator lamps, relays, etc. T1 is a 6.3 volt filament transformer whose secondary winding is connected inside a four arm bridge. When the bridge is balanced, ac output is zero, and C5 (or C7) receives no gate signal. If the bridge is unbalanced by raising or lowering the thermistor's ambient temperature, and ac voltage will appear across the SCR's gate cathode terminals. Depending in which sense the bridge is unbalanced, the positive gate voltage will be in phase with, or 180° out of phase with the ac supply. If the positive gate voltage is in phase, the SCR will deliver load current through diode CR1 to load (1), diode CR2 blocking current to load (2). Conversely, if positive gate voltage is 180° out of phase, diode CR2 will conduct and deliver power to load (2), CR1 being reverse biased under these conditions. With the component values shown, the circuit will respond to changes in temperature of approximately 1-2℃. Substitution of other variable-resistance sensors, such as cadmium sulfide light dependent resistors (LDR) or strain gauge elements, for the thermistor shown is permissible. (View)
