.. D3/R4 bootstrapping R3 to give a linear fall in voltage equivalent to 20 dB in 1.7 s, which, more by happy accident than by design, is exactly what we want. Now we pass the signal through D4, whose tempco of about 2 mV/ C compensates for ...
.. source. For LEDs with currents greater than 0.35 A, an inductive switching regulator is usually the best choice. This Design Idea presents a series of circuits based on single-power-IC switching regulators, with efficiency and ...
.. heatsinks, thermoelectric coolers (TECs), and thermal control in electronic assemblies. Figure 1 illustrates an inexpensive design for a high-resolution differential thermometer utilizing the ∆V BE effect to make accurate measurements with ...
.. are based on separate temperature sensor and heater devices with means for feedback between them. But in some recent EDN design ideas (DIs) we’ve seen thermostat designs that meld the functions of sensor and heater into a single ...
.. an unknown current from a feedback current and delivers an output voltage proportional to the unknown current In this design, the input's dc resistance consists mostly of R 2 and IC 1 ’s effective input resistance, or ...
.. that's higher than ambient by a few tens of degrees. To overcome this problem, you can implement a thermistor-based design, but this solution compromises the system's cost. Fortunately, you can use standard bipolar transistors ...
