Current Sensing for High Voltage Application

circuit schematic

High voltage current sensing/monitoring can be designed using LTC6101 op-amp. The following current sensing circuit is capable of measuring electrical current in 500 volts system. Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: Two external Mosfets is added to hold off the voltage, allows the LTC6101 to be connected to a very high [...]

High Precision Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO)

circuit schematic

This voltage-controlled oscillator circuit is very compact and has a good linearity. The author said that the precision could be better than 0.01% If this circuit is properly constructed. Moreover, this circuit gives three different output waveforms: square, triangle, and sawtooth. This three waveform is important for music synthesizer and measurement [...]

Simple Toggle Touch Switch Using Two Inverter Gates

circuit schematic

We  can make a simple touch switch using only two inverter gates, two resistors, and two capacitors. The schematic diagram of the circuit is shown in the figure below. At power up, the output (of U1A) will be high, and the inverting output will be low because U1A gate will be triggered to ground level [...]

VFC110: Single Chip High-Frequency Voltage-to-Frequency Converter (VFC)

circuit schematic

Using VFC110 chip, we can build a high frequency voltage-to-frequency converter. The features of this chip include the capability of high frequency operation, disable function, and an on-board precision 5V reference. This precision reference can be used to provide reference for offsetting the VFC transfer function, as well as provide transducer or bridge excitation. As [...]

Linear TEC (Thermo Electric Cooler) Driver

circuit schematic

Thermoelectric cooler (TEC) or Peltier cooler is becoming popular because of its robustness and maintenance free characteristic. Here is one example of a linear thermoelectric cooler (TEC) driver circuit. This driver  is capable of delivering ±2A into a TEC. This circuit operates on a single +5V supply and drives the TEC in the most preferred [...]
