This circuit will run from a single 5 V power supply. The LTC1043 switched-capacitor instrumentation building block provides a differential-to-single-ended transition using a flying-capacitor technique. Cl alternately samples the differential input signal....
The circuit uses the LTC1043 in a variable gain amplifier which features continuously variable gain, gain stability of 20 ppm/°C, and single-ended or differential inputs. The circuit uses two separate LTC1043s. LTC1043B is continuously clocked by a....
The DG419looks into the high input impedance of the op amp, so the effects of Rvs(o"l are negligible. The DG441 is also connected in series with RIN and is not included in the feedback dividers, thus contributing negligible
The circuit is designed to drive an external load. A fault condition in the external load circuit could feed excessive current or voltage back into the line drive circuit. If excessive voltage appears from the load, the two zener diodes will clamp that....

This is a special low voltage version of my audio preamp. T1`s emitter voltage is biased close to half supply voltage (1.5V) to allow for maximum output voltage swing. Both transistors are direct coupled and have closed loop feedback to aid temperature....
The CCD Array Reader project began with a free sample of the Texas Instruments TC102-1 CCD Linear Image Sensor and its rather terse data sheet. The TC102-1 provides virtually no support circuitry, only the raw CCD (with a few special pixels) and a simple....
I've seen an NE592 used as a video buffer amp at the end of a 75 ohm line. Used so that the 75 ohm line could drive all kinds of neat processing stuff without affecting the signal (that's what a buffer is after all, right?) Now National Semiconductor makes....
A recent Design Idea described a method for designing simple, high-frequency LC oscillators with few passive components (Reference 1). However, for best results, practical hardware design of a stable oscillator requires more parts and greater complexity.....
Requiring no rectifier diodes, the positive peak-detector circuits in figures 1 and 2 exploit the open-drain output of a Texas Instruments TLC372 fast comparator, IC1. Both versions of the detector are simple and inexpensive and provide a buffered,....
This document describes the HSETI PCB. This PCB is a small simple application for the Atmel AT89C2051 microprocessor - a 20 pin 8051 variant, with FLASH (reprogrammable) program memory. The board has just two chips on it, the CPU and a driver/buffer...
In a CCD (charge-coupled device), packets of charges shift across the array. The transistor array, also called a bucket-brigade shift register, receives drive from a dual-phase clock signal. Dual-phase clock signals comprise two synchronized clock signals....
I built this cable for my Casio QV-200 digital camera, it should work for many Casio models. It`s basically a inverting buffer/converter to/from RS-232 voltage levels from/to CMOS levels. Why Casio didn`t put this inside the camera like everyone else does is....
Many designs require FIFO elastic buffers to form a bridge between subsystems with different clock rates and access requirements. However, in some applications, you need FIFO buffers for data conversion. One example is the case in which you need to connect....
In an R-2R DAC design with supply voltages exceeding ±5V, large voltage glitches (up to 1.5V) can occur during the DAC`s major-carry transitions. These glitches can propagate through the output buffer amplifier and appear at output. The slewing of the level....
The schematic in Figure 1 is the discrete-element version of an A/D-converter drive circuit. The circuit converts a single-ended input to a differential output. The ADC`s reference voltage determines the common-mode range of the differential outputs. The....
Figure 2 shows another approach that requires additional components but delivers the full magnitude of the voltage ramp to Pin 3 of IC1 and provides the approximately 1V-dc offset that Reference 1 requires. Transistors Q1 and Q2, resistors R1 and R2, and LED....
The LED flasher circuits below operate on a single 1.5 volt battery. The circuit on the upper right uses the popular LM3909 LED flasher IC and requires only a timing capacitor and LED. The top left circuit, designed by Andre De-Guerin illustrates using a....
This circuit operates a LED in pulsing mode, i.e. the LED goes from off state, lights up gradually, then dims gradually, etc.
This operation mode is obtained by a triangular wave generator formed by two op-amps contained in a very cheap 8 pin DIL case IC.....
Here the popular 555 timing IC, is wired as a monostable. The timing period is precise and equivalent to:-
1.1 x R1 x C1
With component values shown this works out at approximately 1.1msec.The output duration is independant of the input trigger....
The 74AC240 stepper driver works by alternately enabling each half of the buffer. Only one half can be enabled at a time.
Let`s assume that the top half of the driver is enabled. U1A & U1B along with R8, C1, and the input protection resistor R7 form....
A simple, time-honored approach is to use one or more 74*245 chips (normally the 74AC245 is used for maximum current capability) to provide motor drive current. Here, each channel of drive power is provided by one or more buffer on the chip...
The method in Figure 1a needs no access or knowledge of the communicating devices. A C program opens two COM ports and installs interrupt-service routines for IRQ4 and IRQ3. Upon the reception of an interrupt, the routine stores a byte in a common circular....
Since the output buffer of P1 can sink 20mA (each output pin, but maximum IOL for all outputs was limited at 80mA), thus we can use P1 to drive LED display directly. As shown in the circuit, Two common-anode 7-segment LEDs are connected to P1 with 180 Ohms....
This circuit was inspired by a friend who wanted a reberb
for his portable guitar amplifier. I originally tried using NE5532
low noise op-amps for the buffer stages but they were too noisy
for the low level circuits so I switched to discrete 2N3904....
This page describes how to build this full-bandwidth single-port (one input and one output) MIDI interface. The interface is buffered (that is, if the PC gets behind you won`t lose data) and it works in Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 using a special (and very....
The unit is simple to build, and does not need really low noise opamps, since they only act as a modulator oscillator. I used 1458 dual types in the prototype, and they are more than good enough. The transistors can be any low noise NPN type, and they are....
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....
