Pig. 14-12 This circuit converts the output of a pressure transducer to a voltage and it provides a 1.2-V reference output to a monitoring A/D converter for ratiometric operation (0.1 mA max/min). The circuit converts the bridge differential output into a ground-referred single-ended signal, which is then amplified. This approach eliminates common-mode errors by eliminating the bridge common-mode output component. No precision resistor matching is required. To calibrate, apply (or electrically simulate) 0 psi, and adjust the zero trim for 0-V output. Then, apply (or electrically simulate) 350 psi and adjust the gain trim for 3.500-V output. Repeat these adjustments until both points are fixed. Linear Technology Linear Applications Handbook 1990 p AN11-7.

Opamp is normally in positive saturation because of negative voltage pro-vided by voltage divider R2-R3. When 2-V positive trigger pulse is applied to input, output of opamp swings into negative saturation but automatically returns to positive saturation after time interval determined by values used for C2 and R4. With R4 set at maximum resistance, this time is about 1 s. Increase size of C2 for longer time periods. Opamp can be 741 or equivalent.-R. Melen and H.

Fig. 14-11 This circuit converts the dc output of a classic strain-gauge transducer to a frequency (actually a ratio of two frequencies). For a typical 7.5-μV strain-gauge bridge drive, an LSB increment is 25 μV (below most conventional A/D converters). The circuit data output (the ratio of output A to the clock frequency) can be extracted with counters. Because the output is expressed as a ratio, clock-frequency stability is unimportant. However, careful layout and a clean PC board are required. Use a teflon standoff for all summing-point connections. If a particular strain-gauge transducer requires zero trimming, use the optional network. Over a 0 to 70℃ range, the circuit typically maintains a 10-bit output with 1 LSB accuracy. The tracking error of the starred resistors are the primary contributors to this small error. No calibration is required. Linear Technology Linear Applications Handbook, 1990. p AN7-6. (View)

Circuit variation shown for original IC timer prototype has same timing equation and input trigger requirements for standard connection but provides two outputs rather than one. This is achieved by using pin 7 of IC as an open-collector output that can be referred to any supply voltage between 0 and +15 V regardless of voltage used for timer. Article describes operation in detail and points out possible drawbacks, including possibility of timing error for high duty cycle operation because C1 takes longer to discharge than in conventional monostable MVBR -W G.

When leading edge of 2-V positive trigger pulse is applied to negative input of 741 or equivalent opamp, this input becomes more positive than positive input and opamp swings into negative saturation. This condition is held by positive feedback until trailing edge of next trigger pulse makes opamp swing back into positive saturation. C2 prevents trailing edge of first pulse from driving opamp back into positive saturation. Value shown for C2 should be increased if pulses are longer than 50 ms.-R. Melon and H.
