Figure 8-18 showp a thermally based NiCad charger for use with batteries that are common to ground. The transistor is connected as a common emitter, so the inputs to A1 are reversed. However, operation is the same as for the Fig. 8-15 circuit. Notice that in both the Fig. 8-15 and 8-18 circuits, the trimpot can be eliminated by specifying an LT1006 set (at manufacture) to the desired offset value. High-quality grounds must be used, and all ground returns must be brought directly back to the supply common terminal. LINEAR TECHNOLOGY, APPLICATION NOTE 37, PAGE 2.

Inverters Ula and Ulb form a 20-kilohertz oscillator whose square wave output-further shaped by D2, R4, and R5 and by D3, R6, and R7-drives power field-effect transistors Q2 and Q3. The p-channel and n-channel FETs conduct alternately, in a push-pull configuration. When Q2 conducts, the positive charge on Cout forces diode D4 to conduct as well, which produces a positive voltage, determined by zener diode D5, at terminal A. Similarly, when Q3, in its turn conducts, the negative charge on Cout forces D7 to do so as well. A negative voltage, therefore, develops at terminal B, whose level is set by D6. (View)

Figure 4-7 shows a switched-capacitor type of bridge circuit used in weight-scale applications. (The circuit is intended for weighing human subjects.) Resolution is 0.01 pound at 300.00 pounds, full scale. To trim the circuit, adjust the zero pot for 0 V out with no weight on the platform. Then set the gain adjustment for 3.0000-V output for a 300.00-pound platform weight. Repeat this procedure until both points are fixed. LINEAR TECHNOLOGY, APPUCAT;ON NOTE 43, P. 8. (View)

Figure 8-15 shows a simple thermally based charging circuit for NiCad batteries.Figure 8-16 shows the charge characteristics.Thermocouples sense both cell andambient temperature simultaneously. A1 provides the amplification necessary for microvolt-level thermocouple signals. The 10-kΩ trimpot is set to introduceenough input-off set so that the A1 output swmgs positive turning on thetransistor. Figure 8-17 shows a simple, lnexpenslve way to construct low-resistance shunts usmg a small length of wlre or a PC trace.The type and length of wire determines the shunt resistance (which can be altered to produce the desiredcharging characteristics). Figure 8-17 also shows resistance-versus-len gth characteristics for varlous wire sizes, as well as the details for both wlre and PC shunts.In both cases (PC or wire) the shunt should have separate connections for sensing (Kelvin style) SO that high current does not affect the readings.LINEARTECHNOLOGY, APPLICATION NOTE 37.P.4.

Figure 4-6 shows a high-resolution version of the Fig, 4-5 circuit. The Fig. 4-6 circuit uses a bipolar positive-to-negative converter, which has much lower output impedance. The biasing used permits 8 V to appear across the bridge, requiring the 100-mA capability of the LT1054 to sink about 24 mA. This increased drive results in a more favorable transducer-gain per slope, increasing the signal-to-noise ratio. LINEAR TECHNOLOGY, APPLICATION NOTE 43, P. 7. (View)

Figure 4-5 shows a circuit that is similar to that of Fig. 4-4, except that a single power supply is required. A2 biases the LTC1044 positive-to-negative converter. The LTC1044 output pulls the bridge output negative, causing the Al input to balance at 0 V. This local loop permits a single-ended amplifier (A2) to extract the bridge output signal. The 100-k℃/033-μF RC filter minimizes noise. The A2 gain is set to provide the desired output scale factor. Because bridge drive is taken from the LT1034 reference, the A2 output is not affected by supply shifts. The LT1034 output is available for ratio operation. Although the supply is 5 V, the transducer sees only 2.4 V of drive. This reduced drive results in lower transducer outputs for a given measurement value, effectively magnifying amplifier offset-drift terms. The limit on the available bridge drive is set by the CMOS LTC1044 output impedance. LINEAR TECHNOLOGY, APPLICATION NOTE 43, P. 7. (View)

A1 and its associated components furnish an amplitude stable she wave source. A1's positive feedback path is a Wein bridge, tuned for 1.5 kHz, Q1, the LT1004 reference, and additional components in Al's negative loop unity-gain stabilize the amplifier. A1's output an amplitude stable sine wave, drives the LVDT. C1 detects zero crossings and feeds the LTC1043 clock pin. A speed-up network at C1's input compensates LVDT phase shift, synchronizing the LTC1043's clock to the transformer's output zero crossings. The LTC1043 alternately connects each end of the transformer to ground, resulting in positive half-wave rectification at pins 7 and 14. These points are summed at a low-pass filter which feeds A2. A2 furnishes gain scaling and the circuit's output.The LTC1043's synchronized clocking means the information presented to the low-pass filter is amplitude and phase sensitive. The circuit output indicates how far the core is from center and on which side. To calibrate this circuit, center the LVDT core in the transformer and adjust the phase trim for 0 V output. Next, move the core to either extreme position and set the gain trim for 2.50 V output. (View)

In this circuit, integration is performed by using a conventional operational amplifier and feedback capacitor, CF. When the integrator's output crosses the nominal thresh-old level at pin 6 of the LM131, the timing cycle is initiated. The average current fed into the op amp's summing point (pin 2) is i × (1.1 RtCt) × fwhich is perfectly balanced with -VIN/RIN. In this circuit, the voltage offset of the LM131 input comparator does not affect the offset or accuracy of the V-to-F converter as it does in the stand-alone V-to-F converter, nor does the LM131 bias current or offset current. Instead, the offset voltage and offset current of the operational amplifier are the only limits on how small the signal can be accurately converted.
