The INA118 can be used on single-power supplies of +2.7 to +36V. The figure shown is a basic single-supply circuit. The output Ref terminal is connected to ground. Zero differential input voltage will dentand an output voltage of 0V (ground). Actual output voltage swing is limited to approxi-mately 35 mV above ground, when the load is referred to ground as shown. The typical performance curve “Output Voltage”, Output Current shows how the output voltage swing varies with output current.
With single-supply operation, +VIN and -VIN must both be 1.1V above ground for linear operation. You cannot, for instance, connect the inverting input to ground and measure a voltage connected to the noninverting input.To illustrate the issues affecting low-voltage operation, consider the circuit in the figure. It shows the INA118, operating from a single 3-V supply. A resistor in series with the low side of the bridge en-sures that the bridge output voltage is within the common-rqode range of the amplifier's inputs. (View)

Circuit schematics for the 555-based PLL laser light PFM receiver. Although R4 is shown as a resistor, you might want to sub-stitute it with a 10-kΩ precision potentiometer so that you can dial in the center frequency of the transmitter. Experiment with the value of C1 for the best high-frequency response. Notice that circuit is functionally identical to the laser light detector/receiver shown in the figure, but with the addition of the 565. (View)

Using a Motorola MC34118 speakerphone IC, this adapter can be used with a regular telephone to provide speaker capability. This device is powered from the phone Iine, but it can be powered via an extemal power supply if the line loop current is marginally low. An external phone is needed for ringing and dialing functions. (View)

In battery-powered circuitry, there are some advantages to having an indicator to show when the battery voltage is high enough for proper circuit operation. This is especially true for instruments that can produce erroneous data.The battery status indicator is designed for a 9-V source. It begins dimming noticeably below7V artd it extinguishes at 6 V. If the warning of incipient battery failure is not desired, R3 can be re-rnoved and the value ofJR, is halved. (View)

The universal Iaser light detector. The output of the LM386 audio amplifier can be connected to a small 8-Ω speaker or ear-phone. Two 9-V batteries provide power. Decrease R1 to lower sensitivity; increase R3 to increase gain of the op amp (avoid very high gain or the op amp might oscillate). Q1 is an infrared phototransistor. (View)

Performing a tune-up on a newer bike is made a lot easier with this helpful circuit. Because of the high voltages present, make sure that S1 has an insulated handle and that the fixture is grounded. With the ignition turned off, remove one of the spark plug wires and connect it to the spark plug on the fixture. Slip the fixture's end cap over the spark plug on the cycle and you're ready to go. Open S1 and start the engine. Then, close S1; the cylinder with the fixture should not fire and a spark should be seen at the fixed gap. Be sure that the fixture is cqnnected to the engine ground before closing S1 . (View)
