This circuit allows a smaller control voltage to inversely linearly control a larger output voltage Vo. Another feature is that Vsp the supply to the op-amps can be lower than the output voltage so in theory this circuit could control a output voltage of any magnitude, since the op-amps use a different supply. This will work with single supply op-

amps provided that Vsp>VCmax - Vrail, and Vsn<- Vrail, where Vrail is the dead zone of the upper rail, this is typically. 5V to 1V. This circuit will lose linearity as it attempts to drive the output voltage to zero, unless the dead zone around the rail is zero, because the control voltage approaches VS as Vo goes to zero. This non-linearity will be manifest as a rapid jump of Vo to zero, as Vc increases linearly. Some op-amps have nearly rail to rail input capability, so VS depends on the op-amp you want to use. Since as Vo goes to zero, the input to the op-amp 1C must be able to work near 0V, which can be accomplished by proper selection of a single supply op-amp, or by using a negative supply rather than ground. R3 and R5 draw current and present a small output error on the output voltage. The op-amp U1C is a unity buffer, which is needed to isolate the load from the control loop. Op-amp U1B provides gain of -1 and provides and offset voltage of 2Voff. Op-amp U1A linearizes the transistor through its large negative gain.

This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
