Injection-Lock a Wien-Bridge Oscillator - 10/31/12 EDN Design Ideas: A low-distortion Meacham-bulb-stabilized Wien-bridge oscillator is used to acquire the FFT of a pure sinusoid of about 5 kHz. I recently had the opportunity to investigate a new micropower 6-MHz LTC6255 op amp driving a 12-bit, 250k sample/sec LTC2361 ADC. I wanted to acquire the FFT of a pure sinusoid of about 5 kHz. The problem is that getting the FFT of a pure sinusoid requires, well, a pure sinusoid. Most programmable signal generators, however, have fairly poor noise and distortion performance, not to mention digital “hash” floors, compared with dedicated op amps and good ADCs. You can’t measure 90-dB distortion and noise using sources that are “60 dB-ish. ” Design by Glen Brisebois, Applications Engineer, Signal Conditioning group at Linear Technology

Instrumentation Amplifier extends DSO - 01/05/06 EDN Design Ideas: Elusive current waveforms required scope documentation. To determine the specifications of a solar-generating plant, I needed to accurately measure the load current a product consumed.

An ammeter showed that the current transitions occurred too quickly for visual logging, and my managers had requested an oscilloscope photo of the current waveform's peaks Design by Boberrin, Sacramento, CA
Instrumentation Applications for High Accuracy Temperature Monitor Products - Thermal management is a critical part of system design.

Integrator forms picoammeter - 07/17/97 EDN Design Ideas: The analog circuitry necessary to precisely resolve picoamperes can challenge even the best designer. At these minute current levels, noisy and nonreproducible circuit topologies are common. A current-to-voltage (i/V) converter that uses an op amp and large feedback resistor is the obvious first design choice to acquire a small current. However, the component errors that this method induces can swamp the measurable current (and can amount to throwing out the baby with the bath water).

IR Proximity Sensor - it is the same principle in ALL infra-Red proximity sensors. The basic idea is to send infra red light through iR-LEDs, which is then reflected by any object in front of the sensor. Then all you have to do is to pick-up the reflected IR light. For detecting the reflected IR light, we are going to use a very original technique: we are going to use another iR-LED, to detect the IR light that was emitted from another LED of the exact same type! This is an electrical property of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) which is the fact that a LED Produce a voltage difference across its leads when it is subjected to light. As if it was a photo-cell, but with much lower output current. __
