pH Probe Amplifier -  pH Probe amplifiers require buffer amplifiers with an input impedance greater than 10^13 ohms.  Without loading the probe, an output of approximately 60mV/pH unit is produce.  The thermistor is added to provide first order compensation for the inherent temperature coefficient of the pH probe output __ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Mar 16, 2010

Photodiode Amplifier -  Low input bias current amplifiers can be used to accurately detect the amount of current flowing in a photodiode.  An output voltage, 1V/uA, is created by forcing the reverse diode current to flow from the amplifier output through a large valued feedback resistor. __ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Jun 21st 2011

Platinum RTD Signal Conditioner with Curvature Correction -  The value of the resistance of the RTD sensor is converted to a voltage by running a constant current, 50uA, through it.  As the sensor heats the resistance increases and unbalances the bridges of 1K resistors.  The amplifier restores balance by sourcing more current into the lower fixed 1K resistor thus producing an increasing __ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Jun 21st 2011

Precision Absolute Value -  An absolute value circuit as as a full wave rectifier.  Positive input voltqges cause the first amplifier to act as a unity gain inverter.  The second amplifier inverts thiis output again to produce a positive outut voltage.  Negative input voltages cause the + input of the second amplifier to move positive to a voltage of 2/3Vin. __ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Jun 21st 2011

Precision Amplifier Drives 500ohm Load to ±10V -  Two amplifiers can be combined to double the output current of just one amplifier.  In this circuit the gain is arranged in such a way that ensures that each amplifier contributes half of the load current.  One tenth of the output voltage is impressed across a resistor that is one fifth of the load resistor making its current __ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Jun 21st 2011

Precision Current Sink -  A non-inverting amplifier configuration can force an input control voltage across a ground referred resistor.  This creates a precise amount of current flow.  This current must be sunk by the external transitors so the same amount of current flows to ground from a positive supply referred load circuit. __ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Jun 21st 2011

Precision Current Source -  A non-inverting amplifier configuration can force an input control voltage across a ground referred resistor.  This creates a precise amount of current flow.  This current must be sunk by the external transitors so the same amount of current flows from ground and sourced to a negative supply referred load circuit. __ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Jun 21st 2011
