1_mA_CURRENT_SINK

Published:2009/7/16 1:48:00 Author:Jessie

A ftxed current flows through any load that is connected between the positive supply and Q1's collector. The noninverting terminal of the op amp is grounded, and negative feedback flows between the output of the circuit (Q1's emitter) and the inverting terminal. The voltage across R1 is thus equal to the voltage at the inverting terminal (approximately 0.55 V), so a fixed current of about 1 mA flows through the load, Q1's emitter, and R1.   (View)

CAPACITIVE_SENSOR_SYSTEM

Published:2009/7/16 1:48:00 Author:Jessie

Figure1 illustrates the electric-field configuration of a capacitive proximity sensor of the capaciflector type. This one includes a sensing electrode driven by an alternating voltage, which gives rise to an electric field in the vicinity of the electrode; an object that enters the electric field can be detected by its effect on the capacitance between the sensing electrode and electrical ground. Also, it includes a shielding electrode (in this case, driven shield 1), which is excited via a voltage follower at the same voltage as that applied to the sensing electrode to concentrate more of the electric field outward from the sensing electrode, increasing the sensitivity and range of the sensor. Because the shielding electrode is driven via a voltage follower, it does not present a significant electrical load to the source of the alternating voltage. In this case, the layered electrode structure also includes a reference electrode adjacent to ground, plus a second shielding electrode (driven shield 2), which is ex-cited via a voltage follower at the same voltage as that applied to the reference electrode. Driven shield 2 isolates the reference electrode from the electric field generated by driven shield 1 and the sensing electrode, so a nearby object exerts no capacitive effect on the reference electrode. The excitation is supplied by a crystal-controlled oscillator and applied to the sensing and reference electrodes via a bridge circuit, as shown in Fig. 2. Fixed capacitors C1 and C2 (or, alternatively, fixed resistors R1 and R2) are chosen to balance the bridge-that is, to make the magnitude of the voltage at the sensing-electrode node,S equal the magnitude of the voltage at the reference-electrode node R. The voltages at, S and R are peak-detected and fed to a differential amplifier, which puts out voltage Vu=0. When an object intrudes, it changes Cs, unbalancing the bridge and causing Vu to differ from 0. The closer the object comes to the sensing electrode, the larger |Vu| becomes. An additional output voltage KVr is also available, where K is the amplification factor of a noninverting amplifier and Vr s the voltage on the reference electrode.   (View)

RAMP_FROM

Published:2009/7/14 0:40:00 Author:May

10 V-Based on use of integrating opamp to generate triangle wave from square wave. Circuit goes one step further by convening triangle to ramp function having predetermined negative starting level of -10V. When square-wave input signal changes in polarity from positive to negative, output of circuit begins to go positive as ramp function and C4 charges with output voltage. When input changes from negative to positive and output begins to go negative, Q1 conducts and drives noninverting input of opamp negative. Since square-wave input is positive at this time, opamp output is forced to go negative at its slew rate. Output then remains negative until square-wave input switches in negative direction for repeating cycle.-L. Wing, Op Amp and One Transistor Produce Ramp Function, EDN Magazine, Nov. 15, 1972, p 49.   (View)

VARIABLE_START_STOP

Published:2009/7/14 0:37:00 Author:May

Ramp generator can be operated either in full ramp mode, with out-put sweeping from 0 to +10 V, or partial ramp mode in which output sweeps between adjustable starting point and adjustable stopping point. R5 selects time period in both modes. Ramp is reset automatically when output reaches preset voltage limit. Values shown for C2 and R5 give 100-s charge time, but changing R5 to 1 megohm increases charge period to 7 min. S3 stops ramp and resets circuit at any point in ramp cycle.-D.

POSITIVE_AND_NEGATIVE_VOLTAGE_POWER_SUPPLY

Published:2009/7/16 1:47:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit provides a precision voltage source that can be adjusted through zero to positive and nega-tive voltages, which eliminates reversing connections on the power supply. Also, it is possible to get exactly 0 V, without some offset. As to how this circuit works, first consider the -1 V/V to + 1 V/V linear gain-control amp (see the figure). A Burr-Brown INA105 difference amp is used in a unity-gain inverting amp configuration. A potentiometer is connected between the input and ground. The pot's slider is connected to the noninverting input of the unity-gain amp; this input is typically connected to ground. With the slider at the bottom of the pot, the circuit is a normal-precision unity-gain inverting amp witha gain of -1.0 V/V 10.01% maximum. Withthe slider at the top of the pot, the circuit is a normal-precision voltage follower with a gain of ±1.0 V/V ±0.001% maximum. With the slider in the center, there's equal positive and negative gain for a net gain of 0 V/V. The accuracy between the top and the bottom will usually be limited by the accuracy of the pot.   (View)

DIGITAL_RAMP

Published:2009/7/14 0:33:00 Author:May

Digiial-to-analog technique using single CD4024A CMOS shift register eliminates temperature and linearity problems normally encountered when using RC circuit to drive VCO of digital ramp. Ramp is generated from 50-kHz clock and stopped by applying reset pulse to counters, Use of stable but variable supply for IC permits adjustment of ramp output amplitude, Ramp itself consists of large number of small steps; if these steps are too large, second CD4024A can be added and clock frequency increased. If response of 741 opamp is not adequate for very steep ramps, use opamp having higher slew rate.-K.
