Waveform generator is very useful in electronic experiment and design. This circuit generate sine wave oscillation, but actually we can modify the circuit to generate triangle or square wave function. Lets see its schematic diagram first, here it is: The core of this waveform generator is MAX038. This integrated circuit chip gives complete [...]

The schematic diagram shown in the figure below show a function generator circuit using CA3130 in the integrator the threshold detection sections. Both triangular and square-wave signal are available from this circuit’s output, ranging from 0.1Hz to 100KHz (1:1000000 ratio). This frequency adjustment is done only by a single control R1. A voltage control input [...]

One of the interesting features of CA3130 op-amp is its high input resistance, because using such high input resistance, we can build an astable multivibrator with high R/C ratios. The figure below shows the circuit’s schematic diagram, you can see the variable resistors to adjust the “on” and “off” periods independently. Resistors R1and [...]

This is Operational an Amplifier (Op-Amp) Oscillator circuit. This circuit has some advantages, they are this circuit can be operated at low frequencies with relatively small capacitors, it has a completely-symmetrical output waveform along with a buffered output and it will always self start and cannot hang up because there is less dc positive feedback [...]

For standard instrumentation amplifier, a three op-amps instrumentation amplifier circuit is common, but if you need smaller component count and lower cost, you can use just two op-amps for the same function: a high impedance and good CMRR for sensor pre-amplification and buffering. Here is the circuit’s schematic duiagram: A two-op-amp instrumentation amplifier [...]

Using LMV721/722 or any other high impedance op-amps, you can build an instrumentation amplifier using standard three op-amps instrumentation amplifier circuit. The figure below shows the circuit’s schematic diagram. The final stage of this instrumentation amplifier is a differential-input, differential-output amplifier, with two voltage followers feed its inputs. These two voltage followers assure [...]
