Low drift and low input current of National LM121 differential amplifier provide buffering for standard cell with high accuracy. Typical long-term drift for LM121 operating at constant temperature is less than 2 μV per 1000 h. Circuit should be shielded from air currents. When power is not applied, disconnect standard cell to prevent it from discharging through internal protection diodes.- Linear Applications,Vol, 2, National Semiconductor, Santa Clara, CA, 1976, AN-79, p8.

Circuit uses single pot with standard opamp to ad just output voltage and simultaneously set current of 6.2-V zener at optimum value for temperature stability. With some opamps, emitter-follower may be needed at opamp output to supply necessary zener current. Technique eliminates need for separate zener current adjustment or permits use of lower-cost zener.-K. Hanna, Single Control Adjusts Voltage Reference, EDN Magazine, June 5, 1976, p 117. (View)

Many camcorder enthusiasts use their spare battery for powering video lights. Many such lights give no indication when the battery has gone flat. This can be avoided by the use of this protection circuit. When it gets switched on, the potential across C1 is zero, so that T2 is cut off, the relay is inactive, and the indicator lamp lights. As long as the battery voltage remains above a certain level, T1 is on and holds the base of T2 at earth potential. In this state, only a small current is drawn. When the battery voltage is no longer higher than the sum of the zener voltage, the potential set by divider R2-P1, and the drop across the base-emitter junction of T1, this transistor is cut off, whereupon C 1 is charged via R2. When the potential across C1 has risen to a value high enough for T2 to be switched on, the relay is energized, and its contact disconnects the lamp from the battery. Because the current drain (≤70 rnA) is then determined almost entirely by the relay, it is essential to remove, or disconnect, the battery from the light unit. The switch-off voltage level, set with P1, should be about 1 V per battery cell. (View)

Although deceptively simple, this battery tester can help you weed out marginal cells that might otherwise test good. Six incandescent lamps, chosen for their voltage and current ratings, are selected as a load for the battery under test. The meter (M1) and the lamp's brightness will give a good indication of a battery's output capacity. In addition, because the inrush current that occurs when the lamp is first connected across the battery is much higher than the rated operation value, the circuit makes it easy to spot marginal cells. To use the circuit, connect a battery and observe the measured voltage on M1. Then close the switch that corresponds to the meter's reading and/or the battery's rated voltage and observe the brightness of the appropriate lamp. Be careful to select the right lamp for testing. Never test using a lamp whose voltage rating is more than 30 percent lower than the battery's rating. Otherwise, damage to the lamp could result if the battery under test is good.

Developed for analog applications requiring dual-polarity references. Both voltages are generated from single μA723 IC voltage regulator chip. Chief requirement is keeping inputs and outputs within dynamic range of amplifier, which is +2 to +9 V; this is done by shifting output voltage level upward with zener D1 and shifting input error voltage with divider R1-R2. Changing ratio of R3 to R4 changes negative reference value.-D. Weigand, Dual 7V Reference Developed from a Single μA723, EDN Magazine, Nov. 1, 1972, p 47. (View)

General-purpose opamp and tenet, operating from single 15 V supply, serve as stable buffered voltage reference source that is readily adapted to wide range of output voltages and currents. R4 applies some fraction of zener's 2.5 V to opamp, which amplifies it by factor of 4 to give 2.5 to 10 V output. Output current rating depends on opamp and is about 10 mA for general-purpose types. 759 will handle up to 350 mA, and other devices can be buffered with NPN emitter-follower stage. For greater output range, use higher supply voltage and ad just R2 accordingly. R3 should be chosen to maintain about 1 mA in zener.-W. Jung, An IC Op Amp Update, Ham Radio, March 1978, p 62-69.
