Light to Frequency Converter - This circuit uses a CMOS
version of the classic 555 timer, to form a light intensity to frequency converter. A small PIN photo diode is used as the light detector. The pulses produced are short, so in some applications you may want to stretch them or . . . Hobby Circuit designed by David A. Johnson P.E.-May, 2008
Light to Frequency Converter - Fout = –1.4kHz per microampere of photo diode current, iPD. The LTC6990 is a precision silicon oscillator with a programmable frequency range of 488Hz to 2MHz. it can be used as a fixed-frequency or voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). The LTC6990 is part of the TimerBlox family of versatile silicon timing devices. A single__ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Jun 16th 2010

Load Pulser Tests Supply's Transient Response - 04/11/96 EDN Design Ideas: Modern µPs place severe demands on the transient response of the power source. For example, intel's P6 specification stipulates an output-current capability of at least 30A/µsec while maintaining output-voltage regulation within specified limits Design by Chester Simpson, National SemiConductor, Santa Clara, CA
Low Battery Voltage Flasher - This circuit is designed to monitor two alkaline cells (3v) that form the battery often used in portable electronic equipment. . . Circuit by Dave Johnson P.E.-January, 1998
Low Distortion Crystal Oscillator - This crystal oscillator is designed to operate with fundamental crystals with less than 1 mW dissipated in the crystal. The signal current is filtered by the crystal and develops a voltage across a capacitor with about 500 ohm of reactance. The resulting sinewave has low distortion and phase noise. A JFET buffer is included to drive lower impedance loads. Further buffering with an emitter follower and a voltage step-down transformer or matching network is recommended for driving 50 ohm loads. C3 may be reduced for larger output voltage or to allow lower drive level or it may be increased when lower output levels are desired __ Contact: Charles Wenzel of Wenzel Associates, Inc.
Low Frequency Oscillator draws only 2 Nanoamps - if you have hundreds of touch switches that need an excitation signal, then this circuit is what you need. its 20KHz 20v peak to peak output signal can supply up to 3 watts of touch switch excitation power. . .

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 Power 100khz Light Receiver - By starving a high speed logic inverter for current, this circuit can produce a sensitive 100KHz light receiver circuit, which is immune to ambient light, but only drawing 100 micro amps from a 3 volt supply. . . Circuit by David A. Johnson P.E.-April, 2005

Low-Distortion Oscillator Starts Fast - 05/26/94 EDN Design Ideas: Unlike a Wien-bridge oscillator, the phase-shift oscillator in Fig 1 starts up quickly. Also, the circuit does not require that you adjust several trimming resistors just to tune the oscillator to a given frequency. Experiments show that the circuit's total harmonic distortion (THD]measures Design by Mika Maaspuro, Helsinki University of Technology, Espoo, Finland
Low-Frequency Crystal Controlled Oscillator - The RF engineer sometimes has to look for an instrument that will check a low frequency quartz crystal unit reliably and rapidly. This is a difficult piece of equipment to find and the engineer often has to consult an electronic circuits handbook for the schematic of a circuit that will perform the task.
