- AC-coupling instrumentation amplifier improves rejection range of differential dc input voltageThe need for conditioning low-level ac signals in the presence of both common-mode noise and differential dc voltage prevails in many applications. In such situations, ac-coupling to instrumentation and difference...Sep 27, 2023
- Low power voltage-to-frequency converter makes a wireless probe for testing an inductive power supplyEliane Garnier Francis Rodes Salma AlozadePowering portable telemetry systems for long-term monitoring presents interesting design challenges. Batteries are unsuitable for certain critical applications, and, in these circumstances, designers typically use...Aug 3, 2023
- RF-telemetry transmitter features minimal parts countRequirements for portable, short-range telemetry systems frequently include low power consumption, small size, and low cost. The circuit in Figure 1 meets these criteria and uses only three off-the-shelf ICs and a...Feb 13, 2023
- CMOS inverters convert RF to digital signalApplications ranging from frequency counting and synthesis to sensor signal conditioning require conversion of RF signals to digital-logic levels. In such situations, designers typically use a high-speed voltage...Nov 9, 2021
- Build a transformerless 12V-to-180V dc/dc converterSome transducers for portable or automotive applications need accurately regulated, high-voltage bias and draw little current. To produce such high voltages from a low battery voltage, designers typically use...Sep 1, 2021
