High Voltage Amplifier Drives Piezo Tubes:    12/07)/2004  EDN-Design Ideas  Piezoelectric tubular positioners that drive manipulators in scanning tunneling microscopes require high-voltage, low-current drive circuits.

High-impedance voltmeter:    An ideal voltmeter has infinite input impedance, meaning that it draws zero current from the circuit under test. This way, there will be no "impact" on the circuit as the voltage is being measured. The more current a voltmeter draws from the circuit under test, the more the measured voltage will "sag" under the loading effect of the meter, like a tire-pressure gauge releasing air out of the tire being measured...(schematic added 6/07)

Impedance Transformer Flags Failed Fuse:    12/17/04 EDN Design Ideas  /  (added 5/05)  Figure 1depicts a circuit that detects the opening of a miniature circuit breaker or high-rupture-capability fuse in a high-reliability telecommunications power supply. The circuit generates an alarm when a failure changes the impedance of an electromagnetic sensor. Traditional fault-detection circuits sense the voltage difference developed across an open fuse, leakage current flowing through......

Line Driver Economically Synthesizes Impedance:    01/06/94 EDN-Design Ideas  / (added 6/06) The line-driver circuit in Fig 1 uses a second op amp to synthesize the output impedance. The conventional line-driver circuit employs a single op amp having a resistor whose resistance is equal to the desired impedance in series with the op amp's output. The principal drawback of the conventional circuit is that the single op amp must deliver twice the needed output voltage because of the large voltage drop across the output resistor. The circuit in Fig 1is similar to the famous Howland current pump but has different resistor values. To calculate the output resistance, RO, short the input to ground. Then....
