Instrumentation Amp works from one supply - 03/16/00 EDN-Design Ideas Many single-supply applications need precision amplifiers that can operate from 5V or lower. Although many precision, single-supply op amps are currently available for configuring as 2- and 3-amplifier instrumentation amplifiers (IAs), these designs require great attention to detail to achieve accuracy and precision.

Instrumentation Amplifier extends DSO - 01/05/06 EDN-Design Ideas Elusive current waveforms required scope documentation. To determine the specifications of a solar-generating plant, I needed to accurately measure the load current a product consumed. The product switched several internal devices on and off during an interval of several seconds. An ammeter showed that the current transitions occurred too quickly for visual logging, and my managers had requested an oscilloscope photo of the current waveform's peaks Design by Bob Perrin, Sacramento, CA

Instrumentation Amplifier with ±300V Common Mode Range & CMRR > 150dB - The differential input voltage is sampled on a flying capacitor and then its charge is transferred to a fixed capacitor with is then amplified to produce an output voltage. The use of high voltage photo driven FET switches rejects very high input common mode voltages. __ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Jun 21, 2011
Instrumentation Amplifier with Shield Driver - This is a variation on the standard 3-stage implementation of an Instrumentation Amplifier function. The gain resistor structure between the input op amps provides a mid-point potential that represents the average of the incoming signals. The average level is buffered and back-drives the shields of the signals so there are __ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Jun 21, 2011

Instrumentation Applications for High Accuracy Temperature Monitor Products - Thermal management is a critical part of system design. FPGAs and processors often require heat sinks and fans, to the extent that a failure (stopped fan or obstructed heat sink) would cause damage. These devices often have a pin connected to an on-die diode temperature sensor. It is also useful to know the temperature of other __ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Leo Chen Aug 24th 2011

ic's without the use of a triggered oscilloscope. The schematic diagram above shows a simple and inexpensive way of building a 'Logic Probe' yourself. It will provide you with three visible indicators; "Logic 1"(+, red led), "Logic 0"(-, green led), and "Pulse"(yellow led) __ Designed by Tony van Roon VA3AVR
Logic Probe2 with pulse TTL/CMOS
- This circuit uses the four 2 input NOR gates contained within the 4001 CMOS
IC, and is primarily intended for testing CMOS
circuits. The probe derives its power from the supply of the circuit being tested. The first gate, N1, has its inputs tied together so that it operates as an inverter, and it is biased by R1 so that roughly half the supply potential appears at its output __ Designed by Tony van Roon VA3AVR
