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 pressure sensor signal conditioning circuit. It is simple and inexpensive circuit because it has small geometry and simple pressure sensor. It just uses a single Operational Amplifier. This circuit obtain power from from 3-V battery. To work properly this circuit must work in 0 C to 50 C temperature range. Here is the [...]

The schematic diagram below shows a very simple sample-and-hold circuit using the CA3140 as the readout amplifier for the memory capacitor. The CA3080A is used as both input buffer amplifier and low feed-through transmission switch. System offset nulling is provided for CA3140 via its offset nulling pins. A load simulation of 2k and 30pF is [...]
