Dual Constant-Current Load Tests Low-Current Power Supplies - 06/07/07 EDN Design Ideas: You can use a simple 9V-battery-powered constant-current load to test small power supplies at various loads. Today’s small electronic appliances, such as washers, dryers, and stoves, use switched-mode power supplies to replace bulky, heavy, linear-power supplies. The engineer testing these power supplies, which range in current from 50 mA to 1A, typically uses resistors or standard off-the-shelf electronic loads. An engineer would employ a variety of high-wattage resistors to verify multiple loading conditions to satisfy a proper design. Most off-the-shelf electronic loads target an average of 300W. When measuring 50 to 300 mA, a display is inaccurate; most of them display 0.1A, but accuracy is questionable at that low range. You can alternatively use the simple dual constant-current-load design in Figure 1, which you can build with inexpensive, common parts. Design by John Lo

EDA Tools Must Support, Not Suppress, Innovation - 07/23/01 EDN Design Ideas: One of the most important enablers of innovation is the freedom to explore. By exploring more options, more "what if" scenarios, a designer can determine the optimum design, find more obscure bugs and discover new ways of delivering more functionality and higher performance. This is the key to innovation. However, with today's time-to-market pressures, the freedom to explore is a luxury that not all system-on-a-chip (SOC) designers can afford. Yet, thoroughly verifying designs is a must. SOC designers must test as much of the chip as possible before going to market, but rarely do they have the freedom to leverage the verification process to improve hardware and software designs.

Eight Decade Current Sensing Log Amplifier - The low pA's of bias current of CMOS
amplifiers make them suitable for high input impedance current sensing applications. By taking advantage of the logarithmic relationship of a transistor base-emitter voltage to it's collector current a very wide range of measured input current can be converted to a voltage. in this circuit the input current can span six decades from 10nA to 10mA. The positive tempco resistor compensates for the 0.3%/C tempco of the logging transistors scale factor coefficient (kT/q) __ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Mar 16, 2010
Eight LEDs Make a 100-Division Voltmeter - 09/22/11 EDN Design Ideas: Use a counter IC to drive two sets of four LEDs. The circuit in this Design idea makes a voltmeter that reads to 0.99V. The idea uses a counter IC to drive two sets of four LEDs (Figure 1). Each of these two sets represents a BCD (binary-coded-decimal) value. With all of the LEDs off, the voltmeter reads 0V. With all of the LEDs on, the reading is 0.99V. Op amp IC 1A generates a predictable voltage ramp. Design by Raju Baddi, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Pune University, Maharashtra, India
Eight Simple Circuit power supplies for your workbench (mainly vacuum tube based) - The power transformer is what isolates the output terminals from the line and makes it safe. if you can't find a particular transformer there are several alternatives among the circuits. A transformer you already have or one you can get may determine which circuit you build. The circuits that use a 5Y3 rectifier tube require a transformer with a 5 volt 2 amp winding for the tube's filament. if you can't find or don't have a transformer with a 5 volt winding one of the 6AX5 circuits may be for you. __ Designed by Max Robinson
