Make Your Own Shunts - Using a modern multimeter to measure current can sometimes be difficult. Many of these meters will only measure up to one amp. However, may 112-volt DC powered projects draw a lot more than that. if you have ever thought of purchasing a commercial shunt to solve the problem, your know just how expensive they can be. Commercial shunts, while very precise, frequently cost more than the projects they are measuring! However, there is a better and cheaper alternative that will work perfectly well in most situations __ Designed by Tony van Roon VA3AVR
Micropower, 10ppm/°C, ±5V Reference - The left OpAmp precisely amplifies the 1.2V shunt reference to +5V and the right section inverts that to make -5V. __ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Jun 21st 2011
MOSFET shunt regulator substitutes for series regulator - 25-Nov-04 EDN Design Ideas: You would normally use a series linear regulator or a DC/DC converter to obtain 3V dc from a higher supply. However, when breadboarding a concept, you may be able to use a shunt regulator, especially if a series regulator of the correct voltage is unavailable. The MOSFET in Figure 1 can replace a zener diode in a shunt regulator and provide lower output impedance than a zener diode Design by Stuart R Michaels, SRM Consulting
Precision ±10V Reference - A precision 6.9V reference can be scaled up to +10V and then inverted with a precision -1 gain stage to provide symmetrical +/-10V reference voltages. The 3.3 K resistor feeding back to the + input of the non inverting amplifier maintains a constant 1mA of current to bias the zener reference device. __ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Jun 21st 2011
Self Buffered Micropower Reference - The OpAmp provides controlled bias current to a shunt reference through its supply connection. Since the OpAmp can operate with both inputs and outputs at the low-side supply potential, the buffer action works properly for sourcing output current at the same voltage as the reference itself. __ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Jun 21st 2011

Shunting Lights for DCC Locomotives - Digital decoders in model locomotives usually have two outputs for lighting functions. One switches the front lights for forward travel, and the other for reverse travel. if the locomotive has red rear lights, they are also connected to the two outputs. Many digital decoders include function mapping capability, which allows the switch functions to be assigned as desired. For example, with function mapping you can control the lighting not only for normal running, but also for shunting yard operations with the lights lit at both ends of the locomotivemust register on this site __ Designed by Published in Elecktor July/Aug, 2010

Two Terminal Current Source - The OpAmp buffers the upper potential of a shunt regulator to set a voltage drop on R1 equal to the reference. The net current to RL is the programmed R1 current plus the quiescent supply current of the OpAmp passing through the reference. __ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Jun 21st 2011
