The common JFET current-source in Figure 1a has average output impedance and depends heavily on the JFET`s VP and IDSS variations. These manufacturing variations limit the initial accuracy of the current setpoint that the circuit can obtain with a fixed R1. Most users of JFET current-sources sample VP and IDSS for each lot of JFETs and then select R1 by first solving the quadratic equation ID=IDSS(1VGS/VP)2 for VGS and then solving the current-setpoint equation ISOURCE=VGS/R1. visit page.

Mains-operated Capacitive Sensor

This very simple circuit acts as a high sensitivity capacitive sensor. Lamps and/or Buzzers are operated at half the mains supply voltage when a part of the human body comes in contact with the sensor or approaches it at a close distance. The circuit can be used as an alternative to the Door...



current-sensing instrumentation amplifier

High-speed current sensing presents a designer with some significant challenges. Most techniques for sensing current involve measuring the differential voltage the current produces as it flows through a sense element, such as a resistor or a Hall-effect device. The differential voltage across the...



Phase sequence detector

This circuit prevents damage to the load due to incorrect phasing. The three power SSR's are only permitted to turn-on for a phase sequence of phase A leading phase B. If phase A lags phase the input currents will cancel, causing the SCR and the inhibit SSR to remain off until the sequence is...



Circuit senses high-side current

The accurate, high-side, current-sense circuit in Figure 1 does not use a dedicated, isolated supply voltage, as some schemes do. Only the selected transistors limit the common-mode range. The circuit measures the voltage across a small current-sense resistor, RS. The operation of the circuit...
