Lead-Acid Battery Charger with Voltage Analyser -  Nowadays maintenance-free lead-acid batteries are common in vehicles, inverters, and UPS systems.  If the battery is left in a poor state of charge, its useful life is shortened.  It also reduces __ Electronics Projects for You

LF071 Mic Amplifier -  A high quality microphone preamplifier using a single power supply, suitable for dynamic or electret microphones.  The op-amp used can be any low noise, high performance type, e.  g.  NE5534, TL071, OPA 371 etc __ Designed by Andy Collison

Linear power driver works from single supply -  07/25/02 EDN-Design Ideas In low-power, single-supply analog applications, it is often desirable to maintain precise control of voltages much greater than the positive-supply rail.  The circuit in Figure 1 allows you to amplify the input voltage, VIN, by a factor, A, which resistors R1 and R2 set.  The output voltage, VOUT, equals AVIN, where A=R2/(R1+R2] Design by Tom Gay, Darmstadt, Germany

Linearized Platinum Resistance Thermometer with ±0.025°C Accuracy Over 0 to 100°C -  Platinum RTD's are typically driven with a constant current so that their resistance value directly translates to a temperature dependant voltage.  Here the LT1001 and the LM129 create a constant current through the input 10K resistor which all flows through the sense resistor.  A second amplifier inverts the signal to provide __ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Jun 21st 2011

Low Frequency Sine Wave Generator -  The two circuits below illustrate generating low frequency sine waves by shifting the phase of the signal through an RC network so that oscillation occurs where the total phase shift is360 degrees. __ Designed by Bill Bowden

Low Frequency Wien Bridge Sinewave Oscillators -  Three examples of Wien Bridge oscillators are shown below.  The first uses three bipolar transistors.  The second uses a bipolar and JFET, and the third is the more popular type using an op-amp for minimal parts.  The idea is to generate a 360 degree phase shift at some particular frequency using 2 resistors and caps of equal value.  One cap and resistor are in series, while another cap and resistor are in parallel.  The signal loss through the network is about 66 percent so the amplifier gain needs to be around 3 for a loop gain of 1 __ Designed by Bill Bowden

Low Noise AC Amplifier with Programmable Gain & Bandwidth -  Two LTC6910 programmable gain amplifiers can be combined to provide independent gain and bandwidth control using two 3 bit digital words.  The Gain Control PGA simply varies the circuit gain from 1 to 100.  The Bandwidth Control PGA puts signal gain inside the feedback loop of the amplifier.  As this gain is increased the effective value of feedback resistor R2 is decreased.  This pushes out the upper low pass corner frequency of the ac amplifier. __ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Mar 16th 2010

Low Noise, Low Power Photodiode Amplifier with DC Precision -  Instead of simply grounding the LT6202 noninverting input, an LTC2050 drives it (and therefore the source) exactly to where it needs to be for zero JFET gate voltage.  Output offset is 200mV and output noise is 2mVP-P measured in a 20MHz bandwidth. __ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Mar 22nd 2010

Low Power Op-Amp-Audio Amp Intercom -  The example below illustrates using an op-amp as an audio amplifier for a simple intercom.  A small 8 ohm speaker is used as a microphone which is coupled to the op-amp input through a 0.1uF capacitor.  The speaker is sensitive to low frequencies and the small value capacitor serves to attenuate the lower tones and produce a better overall response.  You can experiment with different value capacitors to improve the response for various speakers.  The op-amp voltage gain is determined by the ratio of the feedback resistor to the series input resistor which is around one thousand in this case __ Designed by Bill Bowden

Low Power, Bidirectional 60V Precision Hi Side Current Sense -  Using a very precise zero-drift amplifier as a pre-amp allows for the use of a very small sense resistor in a high voltage supply line.  A floating power supply regulates the voltage across the pre-amplifier on any voltage rail up to the 60V limit of the LT1787HV circuit.  Overall gain of this circuit is 1000.  A 1mA change in __ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Mar 31st 2010

Low Side Current Sense -  Sensing the amount of current through a load on the low side has the disadvantage of raising the return connection to the load from ground.  The advantage of such an approach is that it is very easy to implement using a basic non-inverting gain stage.  The LTC6081 operates linearly down to ground also in this single supply example. __ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Mar 16th 2010
