High voltage Amplifier Drives piezo tubes - 12/07/04 EDN-Design Ideas: Piezoelectric tubular positioners that drive manipulators in scanning tunneling microscopes require high-voltage, low-current drive circuits. The circuit in Figure 1 can drive high-resistance, low-capacitance piezoelectric loads at a -3-dB bandwidth of 6 kHz. It offers a low-cost alternative to commercial drivers.....(design idea added 10/05)

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...(schematic added 6/07)
