The LTC1266-3.3 and the LTC1263 are perfect complements for one another. The combination of the two parts provides two regulated outputs of 3.3 V/5 A and 12 V/60 mA from an input range of 4.75 to 5.5 V. The LTC1263, using only four external components (two 0.47-μF charge capacitors, one 10-μF bypass capacitor, and one 10-μF output capacitor), generates the regulated 12-V/60-mA output from a 5-V input using a charge-pump tripler. During every period of the 300-kHz oscillator, the two charge capacitors are first charged to VCC and then stacked in series, with the bottom plate of the bottom capacitor shorted to VCC and the top plate of the top capacitor connected to the output capacitor. As a result, the output capacitor is slowly charged up from 5 to 12 V. The 12-V output is regulated by a gated oscillator scheme that turns the charge pump on when Vout is below 12 V and turns it off when it exceeds 12 V. The LTC1266-3.3 then uses the 5-V input, along with the 12-V output from the LTC1263 and various external components, including bypass capacitors, sense resistors, and Schottky diodes, to switch two external N-channel MOSFETs and a 5-μH inductor to charge and regulate the 3.3-V/5-A output. The charging scheme for this part, however is very different from that of the LTC1263. The LTC1266-3.3 first charges the output capacitor by turning on the top N-channel MOSFET, allowing current to flow from the 5-V input supply through the inductor. The amount of current flow in the inductor is monitored with a sense resistor, and the 3.3-V output is regulated by turning on and off the top and bottom N-channel MOSFETs to charge and discharge the output capacitor.

It is handy to have a gain block with a gain that can be varied smoothly from positive to negative with a single potentiometer. The circuit shown accomplishes this function with R2. Op amp A1 is configured with both inputs tied together. Op amp A2 functions as a buffer. WithR1=R3=R4=R=5KΩ,the gain of the differential amplifier is given by AV1=(V0/V1)=1/2(1-R2/R). With a buffer amplifier gain of 20, the overall gain of the amplifier is given by AV=(V0/V1)=10(1-R2/R). By using a 10-turn potentiometer, the gain can be varied from positive to negative. (View)

Provides two 5-V regulated supplies for frequency counter, operating either from 9-VDC outputs of AC supply or from 12-VDC auto battery. Splitting of supply divides current demand so regulators operate well below maximum ratings and provide decoupling between sections of load.-J.

When controlling a nonlinear device, such as an incandescent lamp, it is desirable to have fine resolution at the high end, where a small change in current can cause a large change in brightness.At the low end, coarser resolution is quite adequate. Using the circuit shown, any desired compression can be produced using just about any multiplying DAC. A negative 10-V reference is fed through R1 to inverting amplifier A1, which has an initial gain set to unity by R2. A1's output supplies a positive variable reference to the DAC. The DAC output provides additional feedback through R3, reducing the amplifier's gain as the DAC data increase. The variable reference is gradually reduced so that each step is progressively smaller than the one before. With the values shown, as the DAC data approaches full-scale; the reference approaches 1/4 of its original value. This produces output with four times as much resolution at the high end as at the low end. By decreasing the value of R3, greater compression and higher resolution can be achieved. The variable-reference output also can be useful in some applications. (View)
