Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • FET INPUT HIGH SPEED LIGHT DETECTOR
    This circuit is yet another design that converts current from a PIN photo diode to a voltage. It has a bandwidth that extends beyond 50MHz.
 
  • FINGER TOUCH ACTIVATED SWITCH
    It does not get any easier if you want a solid-state switch that is activated by the touch of a finger. Two small metal pins route voltage through the finger skin to a MOSFET switch. The circuit is great for situations where a membrane type mechanical switch is not desired.
  • High Impedance JFET Buffers
    I have used these circuits many times.  They are great when you need a low gain AC signal amplifier with a very high input impedance.  It is good to beyond 50MHz. (added 12/04)

Gate Drive Method Extends Supply's Input Range - 06/26/03 EDN-Design Ideas: Industrial and telecom applications often require a nonisolated, low-voltage supply from a high-voltage input. IC manufacturers have responded to that need with the application of high-voltage processes and offer control ICs that work to 50V and higher. That voltage is sometimes insufficient, and you need further design techniques to extend the input voltage.....(design idea added 7/03)
High Current MOSFET  Flip Flop with Debounced Pushbutton - This circuit was adapted from the "Toggle Switch Debounced Pushbutton" by John Lundgren. It is particularly useful in controlling a load from several locations where the load may be switched on from one location and switched off from another. Any number of momentary (N/O) switches or push buttons may be connected in parallel. The circuit....(electronic schematic / circuit added 11/05)
