Parallel High-Speed Current Driver Circuit Composed Of OPA660

Published:2011/7/30 19:29:00 Author:Robert | Keyword: Parallel, High-Speed, Current, Driver

The picture shows the parallel high-speed current driver circuit. The input signal Vin is added to the OPA660 device's equivalent special transistor OTA's base port B (pin 3) through a 180Ω resistor. Two collector ports are connected directly (pin 8) and also connected with the load. They are also supply current to the load. So the current through the load would be twice than a single OTA's current. The OPA660's OTA's maximum output current is ±15mA, but the parallel circuit could provide maximum output current of ±30mA. So when need more current it could take more OPA660 operational amplifiers to be parallel to get the load current needed. The input port (B polar) is connected external 180Ω resistor, which could have the function of current limiting and avoid the self-oscillation of the amplifier and reduce the the peak cases of frequency characteristic.   (View)

PROXIMITY_ALARM

Published:2009/7/5 23:08:00 Author:May

Circuit Notes Inverters U1a and U1b are connected in a simple RC oscillator circuit. The frequency is determined by the values of R1, C1, C2, and the intemal characteristics of the integrated circuit. As long as, the circuit is oscillating, a positive dc voltage is developed at the output of the voltage-coupler circuit: C3, D1, D2 and C4. The dc voltage is applied to the input of Ulc-the third inverter amplifier-keeping its output in a low state, which keeps Q1 turned off so that no sound is produced by BZ1. With C1 and C2 adjusted to the most sensitive point, the pickup plate will detect a hand 3 to 5-inches away and sound an alert.Set C1 and C2 to approximately one-half of their maximum value and apply power to the circuit. The circuit should oscillate and no sound should be heard. Using a non-metallic screwdriver, carefully adjust C1 and C2, one at a time, to a lower value until the circuit just ceases oscillation: Buzzer BZ1 should sound off. Back off either C1 or C2 just a smidgen until the oscillator starts up again-that is the most sensitive setting of the circuit.   (View)

DEMONSTRATION_FLIP_FLOP

Published:2009/7/5 23:07:00 Author:May

Two sections of LM3900 quad opamp form bistable MVBR for flip-flop having two stable states. When input is grounded momentarily, output of one of opamps swings completely on and turns other opamp off. LED indicates which opamp is on at any particular time. Next grounding of input re verses conditions. Ideal for classroom demonstrations.-F. M. Mims, Integrated Circuit Projects, Vol. 5, Radio Shack, Fort Worth, TX, 1977, 2nd Ed., p 30-37.   (View)

POSITIVE_PEAK_DETECTOR

Published:2009/7/5 23:07:00 Author:May

The purpose of the circuit is to hold the peak of the input voltage on capacitor C1, and read the value, VO, at the output of U2. Op amps UI and U2 are connected as voltage followers. When a signal is applied to VI, C1 will charge to this same voltage through diode D1. This positive peak voltage on C1 will maintain VO at this level until the ca-pacitor is reset (shorted). Of course, higher positive peaks will raise this level while lower power peaks will be ignored. C1 can be reset manually with a switch, or electronically with an FET that is normally off. The capacitor specified for C1 should have low leakage and low dielectric absorption. Diode D1 should also have low leakage. Peak values of negative polarity signals may be detected by reversing D1.   (View)

SCOPE_CALIBRATOR

Published:2009/7/5 23:05:00 Author:May

The calibrator operates on exactly 100 kHz providing a reference for calibrating the variable time base oscillator of general purpose scopes. For example, if the scope is set so that one cycle of the signal fills exactly 10 graticule divisions then each division represents 1 MHz, or 1 microsecond. If the scope is adjusted for 10 cycles on 10 graticule divisions. (1 cycle per division) then each division represents 100 kHz or 10 microsecends.   (View)

SEQUENTIAL_SWITCHING_OF_LOADS

Published:2009/7/5 23:01:00 Author:May

Ring counter using four-layer diodes DN provides sequential switching of loads under control of input pulse-train signal. Indicator lamps are shown, but any load from 15 to 200 mA can be switched. After power is applied, reset switch must be pressed to establish current through L.When switch is released, this current fiows through C2 and breaks down D2, allowing current to flow through first lamp I1. Input pulse to transistol Q (normally held off by current through R1)turns Q off and removes power from diode circuits, thus turning I1 and D2 off. At end of input pulse, a comes on and restores power to diode circuits, but all loads will be turned off.Voltage on C3 now adds to 6 V normally across D4, making D4 break down and turn on I2. Next input pulse will breakdown D6 in same manner.Output signals may be picked up as negative pulses at A or B or by current-sensing at C if required for controlling larger loads,-J. Bliss and D.

ANALOG_MULTIPLEXER_CONVERTS_SINGLE_TRACE_SCOPE_TO_FOUR_TRACE

Published:2009/7/5 23:01:00 Author:May

This adapter circuit, based on a dual four-channel analog multiplexer handles digital signals to at least 1 MHz, and analog signals at least through the audio range. The dual multiplexer's upper half selects one input for display. The lower half generates a staircase to offset the baselines of each channel, keeping them separate on the screen. The emitterfollower buffers the staircase, which is then summed with the selected signal. A two-bit binary counter addresses the CMOS 4052 multiplexer.   (View)

ZENER_CONTROLS_BRIDGE

Published:2009/7/5 23:00:00 Author:May

Amplitude of 10.5-kHz Wien-bridge oscillator outputis main-tained symmetrical above ground by using single zener with diode bridge，As output e0 approaches soft knee threshold of conduction for zener.its impedance decreases and shunts R2，This violates oscillator requirement that R2=2R1. so output begins decreasing sinusoidally. As swing decreases, gain increases until e0 reaches negative threshold. Signal then reverses and again starts going positive.-W. B Crittenden and E. J. Owings, Jr., Zener-Diode Controls Wien-Bridge Oscillator, EDN Magazine. Aug. 1. 1972. p 57-58.   (View)

Multi-Stage Output Delay Circuit

Published:2011/7/27 8:41:00 Author:Robert | Keyword: Multi-Stage, Output, Delay

The picture shows the multi-stage output delay circuit. In the circuit it uses the operational amplifier as the comparator. When the operational amplifier A1's in-phase input port is added the +VE voltage, the voltage VC1 on the operational amplifier A2, A3, A4's in-phase input ports would increase by following the law of exponential curve. The operational amplifier's out-phase input port is added the voltage provided by the voltage classification divider. So each operational amplifier's input would reverse each output signal separately at the time of t1, t2, t3 during Vc1 is from zero to +VB(power voltage). That achieves the purpose of VA1, VA2, VA3's delaying progressively. It should be noted that this circuit uses dual power supplies which is positive power +VE, +VB and negative power -VB.   (View)

Electric Blanket And Rice Cooker Timer Circuit

Published:2011/7/28 6:55:00 Author:Robert | Keyword: Electric Blanket, Rice Cooker, Timer

The picture shows the electric blanket and rice cooker timer circuit. This circuit's timing time could be set from 1 second to more than 10 hours. In the picture, C1 is timing element. When the power supply is connected, pressing the switch AN1, the C1 would be charging to DC 28V. The comparator A would output high voltage level and the transistor VT would be connected, the relay J would be powered up and have actions. The J1-1 would be conncted and the power would be self-locked. The J1-2 would be disconnected. C1 would discharge to the high-resistance input port. When the C1's voltage is decreased and lower than the A's out-phase input port, the A would output low voltage level, the transistor VT would be disconnected, J would lost the power and be released. Then the timing is over until next case that the timing trigger switch AN1 is pressed again.   (View)
