Programmable Pressure Transducer Circuit

circuit schematic

Silicon pezoresitive-bridge pressure transducer (SPPT) is very popular in medical, industrial, environmental, and automotive pressure sensor application. The general architecture of SPPT uses a thin micromachined silicon diaphragm incorporates a implanted piezoresitive Wheatson-bridge strain-gauge. The transducer design allows only a small diaphragm deflection sin it has limited elasticity, and this produces only a very [...]

Heartbeat Sensor (Tranduscer)

circuit schematic

To build a heart-beat transducer not as difficult as imagined. Circuit below shows a simple heart-beat transducer. This circuit made from an infrared phototransistor and infrared LED.  This transducer works with the principle of light reflection,in this case the light is infrared.  The skin is used as a reflective surface for infrared [...]

Accelerometer Amplifier

circuit schematic

Precision accelerometers needs inverting mode amplifier since they are usually charge-output  devices. This amplifier convert charges into voltage output. The circuit below is an example of accelerometer with DC servo. The charge from the transducer is converted to a voltage by C1, which should equal the transducer capacitance plus the input capacitance of [...]

Gamma Correction Circuit

circuit schematic

Transducers is used in video system to convert optical signal to electrical signal in the acquisition. In the display, transducer is used to convert electrical signal back to light. Transducers often have a transfer function (the ratio of signal in to light out) that is unacceptably nonlinear. The newer technology of [...]

Barometer Signal Conditioner

circuit schematic

The schematic diagram below show a complete barometric pressure signal conditioner that operates from a single 1.5V battery. We can get the best accuracy and stability if we use bonded strain gauge and capacitive-based transducer,  but they are expensive.  This design introduce a new type of semiconductor transducer that achieves 0.01″ Hg (inches of mercury) [...]

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 [...]
