All filter stages using a Virtual Ground will have the Virtual Ground DC potential on their outputs, while all stages having a resistive divider on their input (and no virtual Ground) will have the divider potential on their output. For supply currents of up to 20 ma, the TLE2426 (and the TLE2425 for 5V circuits) provide a low cost and space effective precision virtual ground.

Output impedance is typically less than 1 ohm for frequencies up to 30kHz ( when sourcing or sinking 10 ma). The 8-pin version has an additional Noise Reduction pin, allowing an external capacitor to bypass the internal divider junction (a 1uF capacitor could be used). It is possible to add capacitors between the output Vgnd and the two rails, in order to provide higher instantaneous source and sink currents, as long as the average current doesn`t exceed the TLE2426 output current capacity. Note that any such capacitors will add poles that could interfere with the active filter circuit response. This circuit can be used as an alternative to the TLE2426, or whenever the required Virtual Ground current exceeds 20ma. For small currents (~5ma), a general purpose op amp can be used, such as the TL071 or uA741. For very high currents, the following op amps could be considered: Note that as with all filter op amps, both rails should be bypassed with 0. 1uF and 1uF capacitors. Star grounding of all true grounds (Virtual Ground excluded) is recommended. Several micropower voltage regulators provide an adjustable voltage output and at least 40ma output current, with very low quiescent current. Probably the most common is the ADM663 (also MAX663), which can be configured with only 2 external resistors, and an optional third resistor for current limiting (Rcl). If current limiting is not required, then SENSE should be connected to...
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.....
