16-Bit Resolution Unidirectional Current Sense into LTC2433 ADC - The LTC2433-1 can accurately digitize signal with source impedances up to 5kΩ. This LTC6101 current sense circuit uses a 4.99kΩ output resistance to meet this requirement, thus no additional buffering is necessary. __ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Mar 31, 2010

1-Wire Barometer - This article describes details for constructing a 1-Wire Barometer which will work on a Dallas Semiconductor Corporation 1-Wire network. The reason for this second version is that the transistor level-changer of the original design was found to be temperature sensitive. if you have constructed the original version (V1.0) you can modify it according to the diagram shown below. This involves removing the transistor and 5 resistors, then rewiring it with 6 new resistors. __ Designed by David W. Bray

1-Wire Barometer. Part 1 - This article describes details for constructing a 1-Wire Barometer which will work on a Dallas Semiconductor Corporation 1-Wire network. it differs from the popular Version 1.1a in that it has more than twice the resolution. __ Designed by David W. Bray
1-Wire Barometer. Part 2 - The design presented in the schematic above is not the only possible barometer that can be constructed with this printed circuit board. Not only is the printed circuit board designed to be modified for different voltage sources and 1-wire networks, but the values of the resistors can be modified for different ranges of barometric pressure and resolutions. __ Designed by David W. Bray

2 diodes change Demagnetization-signal polarity - 04/12/01 EDN Design Ideas: Power-supply designers usually like flyback converters to operate in DCM (discontinuous-conduction mode) rather than in CCM (continuous-conduction mode). in DCM, the flyback converter is a first-order system at low frequencies, which eases the feedback-loop compensation. You can use a low-cost secondary rectifier, thanks to soft blocking conditions Design by Christophe Basso, On Semiconductor, Toulouse, Cedex, France

2 Sensors Measure Three Line Current - 09/01/95 EDN Design Ideas: An old technique updated for modern requirements allows you to measure all three line currents in a three-phase system. You perform this measurement using two current transformers (CTs) and three ammeters. The original technique appeared in Alternating-Current Machines by George Mueller (McGraw-Hill, 1952). The method works equally well with modern current sensors. Figs 1 and 2 illustrate the technique. Design by Henno Normet, Tavares, FL

-20 DB Couplers for use with a with a spectrum analyzer or other sensitive Detector - One of the slickest ways to look at higher powered signal sources with a spectrum analyzer or other sensitive detector, with out running the risk of burning out the front-end, is to employ a -20 dB coupler. This simple device is nothing more than a 10:1 broadband transformer that reduces the power input to the detector by a factor of 100, or -20 dB. Using this device reduces a 1 watt, 20 volt peak-peak signal down to a 10 milliwatt, 2 volt peak-peak signal while maintaining excellent fidelity. __ Designed by Jim Kortge, K8IQY
-20 dBm, 14.060 MHz Precision Signal Source - As many of you know, measuring most receiver parameters requires using two sources, usually offset by 5, 10 or 20 Khz. While one might have a good signal generating source in the lab, having two of them is often prohibitive from a cost stand point. This -20 dBm source can be built for any frequency. However, for my use in measuring the receive strip of my new 2N2/20 transceiver, a second signal source on 20 meters was needed. Since readily available crystals are available from NorCal, and other suppliers, that hardest-to-find of the parts is quite easy to acquire. __ Designed by Jim Kortge, K8IQY
