Self-Heated Transistor Digitizes Airflow -  13-Mar--96 EDN-Design Ideas - A sensitive and reliable way to measure airflow is to exploit the predictable relationship between airspeed and the heat dissipated by a sensor exposed to the flow while being held at a constant temperature differential above ambient.  The power required to maintain the elevated sensor temperature is proportional to the square root of the airspeed (King's law).  The popular hot-wire anemometer uses this principle, but suffers from the disadvantage of using a relatively fragile airflow sensor, a thin metallic filament Design by Stephen Woodward, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC

Sine reference is synchronous with AC line -  02/15/00 EDN-Design Ideas - Many applications require a sinusoidal reference voltage synchronized to the ac line voltage.  You cannot derive such a reference voltage directly from the ac line because the waveform of the ac line is distorted because of nonlinear loads connected to the line and because the amplitude of the line signal varies.  Hence, you cannot use a simple step-down transformer to derive the reference signal.  The circuit in Figure 1 develops a line-synchronized reference signal whose phase and amplitude you can adjust using potentiometers P1, P2, and P3.  The circuit steps down and converts the line voltage to a square wave using the IC1A zero-crossing detector.  The integrator block, IC1B, then integrates the square wave to produce a triangular wave.  The triangular wave passes through two narrow bandpass filters comprising IC2A and IC2B.   Design by P Seshanna

Stable Pulse Generator Uses Matched Transistors In a Current Mirror -  02/02/12  EDN-Design Ideas - Inexpensive dual transistors work as well as do legacy matched pairs.   Using CMOS gates to generate pulses sometimes causes timing uncertainty due to gate-threshold variations.  For accurate pulse widths, you can use BJTs (bipolar-junction transistors).  Basing the design on current comparison allows the circuits to operate at low voltages.  Proper clamping of the timing capacitor avoids pulse shortening with increased repetition frequency.  These circuits work with somewhat less accuracy at supply voltages lower than 5V.
