Fan Speed Controller Using Op-Amp

We can make an enhancement to DAC drive fan controllers with the use of an external amplifier that closes the loop around the tachometer. Essentially linear control over the full range of 8 bit DAC codes from 0 to 255 is provided by this enhancement. This only requires a little signal conditioning and a suitable amplifier arrangement since the tachometer […]

MAX6650 Fan Speed Controller

We can simplified greatly the fan speed regulation design using a dedicated IC such as the MAX6650 or MAX6651. The MAX6650 is designed to control a single fan. The MAX6651 has more features, it can controls a single fan and can monitor and watchdog three additional fan tachometer outputs. We can synchronize multiple MAX6651s to control multiple fans. The IC […]

Closed-Loop Automatic Power Control for RF Applications

This is a circuit of Closed-Loop Automatic Power Control for RF Applications. The circuit uses a log detector (AD8318) and a VGA (ADL5330). This circuit has a high temperature stability because of the high temperature stability of the AD8318. The AD8318 also ensures the same level of temperature stability at the output of the ADL5330 VGA. The ADL5330 is converted […]

Linearized Platinum RTD Signal Conditioner

The best choice for stability and high accuracy in temperature measurements is Platinum resistance temperature detectors (RTD). However, the signal conditioning is complicated by the RTD which exhibit a non-linear temperature versus resistance characteristic. The non-linearity amount of 0 C to 100 C is up to 0.4 C. Here is the schematic diagram of linearized platinum RTD signal conditioner : […]

L297 Stepper Motor Controller

Four phase drive signals for two phase bipolar and four phase unipolar step motors in microcomputer-controlled application is easily implemented using L29 Stepper Motor Controller IC. We can drive the motor in half step, normal and wave drives mode and switch-mode control of the current in the windings is permuted on chip PWM chopper circuits. This device has some features […]
