26. Difference amplifier measures high voltages
    Chau Tran Moshe Gerstenhaber
    Circuits Analogue Design Measurement Analog Devices AD629BR
    Figure 1 shows two large-signal- measurement methods. The first uses a two-resistor voltage divider and an output buffer, and the second comprises an attenuating inverter and a high-value input resistor. Both of these approaches introduce ...

27. Simple circuit converts 5V to -10 V
    Ken Yang
    Circuits Supply Analog Devices MAX889
    A typical switched-capacitor charge pump requires no inductors, is easy to design, and can double a positive voltage or convert a positive voltage to an equivalent negative voltage. However, in some applications, only a positive supply is ...

28. Virtual-zener circuit simplifies high-voltage interface
    Philip Lane
    Circuits High Voltage Signal Processing, Filters Analog Devices LT1021
    This design for a photonic switch needs more than approximately 70 V at the cathode of a duo-lateral optical position-sensing device. This voltage gets speedy response at longer wavelengths, such as 980 nm. The circuit uses fast transimpedance ...

29. Creating a very fast edge rate generator for testing (or taking the pulse of your scope)
    Damian Bonicatto Phoenix Bonicatto
    Circuits Oscillators Analog Devices LTC6905
    I recently purchased a new oscilloscope for home use. It’s a 250 MHz scope, but I was curious what the actual 3 dB frequency was as most scopes have a bit more upper end margin than their published rating. The signal generators I have either ...

30. Fast-settling picoammeter circuit handles wide voltage range
    Rob Whitehouse
    Circuits Analogue Design Measurement Analog Devices AD795 OP1177
    Evaluating analog switches, multiplexers, operational amplifiers, and other ICs poses challenges to IC-test engineers. A typical test scenario requires application of a test or forcing voltage to a device's input and measurement of any ...
