Self-powered isolation amplifiers, which need no external isolated power supply, provide versatile and convenient interfaces in many applications that require galvanic isolation of the signal source. Examples of such applications include circuits ...
.. of general active-filter theory, or you can simulate the circuit behavior with any of the common simulation tools, such as Spice. By an intelligent choice of passive-component values, you can easily control the circuit's behavior in ...
The schematic in Figure 1 shows a way to increase the power available from a current-limited 5 V supply by adding power from a 5 V supply. The dc/dc converter generates a single 12 V, 150-mA (1.8 W) output from two regulated and current-limited ...
Filter, audio, and RF-communications testing often require a random noise source. Figure 1’s circuit provides an RMS-amplitude regulated noise source with selectable bandwidth. RMS output is 300 mV with a 1 kHz to 5 MHz bandwidth, selectable ...
Figure 1 is a “charge pump” type V/F converter specifically designed to run from a 3.3 V rail. A 0 V to 2 V input produces a corresponding 0 kHz to 3 kHz output with linearity inside 0.05%. To understand how the circuit works assume ...
This article describes an active load circuit that can be used to simulate a battery in any state of charge. The battery simulator provides a constant-voltage load for a battery-charging circuit, independent of applied charging current. The ...
It is often desirable to determine a battery’s internal resistance to evaluate its condition or suitability for an application. Accurate battery resistance determination is complicated by inherent capacitive terms which corrupt results taken ...
.. (R SENSE should be limited to 1 kΩ unless you are adventurous). A caution on simulating this circuit. Not all op amp spice models correctly model the flow of load current in the power supply pins, an essential behavior to simulating ...
Designers often use chargers with flyback topologies to quickly charge energy-storage capacitors (references 1 and 2 ). In a flyback topology, the energy transfer takes place only when the charger’s power MOSFET is off, which effectively ...
.. only a very short time when the charge from C1 has to supply the rest of the circuit. The circuit has been simulated using LT-Spice version 4.19, as well as built and tested (Fig. 3). Figure 3. C1 has to supply the rest of the circuit of ...
