Meter in feedback path of opamp is connected in bridge circuit for measuring both AC and DC voltages. Input voltage is equal to meter current in amperes multiplied by 3 times value of R1 in ohms; with 3.3K and 0.1 mA, input is 0.99 V. Multiplying milliampere reading of meter by 10,000thusgives input voltage. If long supply leads cause oscillation, connect 0.1-μF capacitors between ground and supply pins 4 and 7 as shown.-F. M.

Improved voltage-con-trolled current source uses complementary transistors in opamp feedback loop. Common-mode voltage at input to opamp is always near zero. Circuit was designed for use in integrator having ground-referenced integrating capacitor, to produce 1 mA/V. R3a and R3b sense current through Q1 and Q2 so voltage proportional to difference is fed back to input of opamp for comparison with input voltage. Zener voltages determine quiescent-current level. Frequency response is limited to 1 MHz by performance of specified opamp.-P. T. Skelly, Voltage-Con-trolled Current Source, EDN/EEE Magazine, Aug. 1, 1971, p 45-46. (View)

Duty cycle of clock pulse is shortened by two CMOS inverters used to form negative-transition triggered mono-stable multivibrator. Duration of output pulse T is about 1.4R1C1. Output pulse occurs each time input clock goes from high to low. Used with foldback current limiting for short-circuit protection in clock-driven regulated power supply. Low duty cycle of dock pulses ensures positive full-load starting of supply.-J. L. Bohan, Clocking Scheme Improves Power Supply Short-Circuit Protection, EDN Magazine, March 5, 1974, p 49-52. (View)
