Single Cell Battery Meter Amplifier

A meter amplifier can be designed using LM10 integrated circuit (IC). The accuracy of full-scale sensitivity is good for over 15°C to 155°C at 10mV and 100nA.  Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: R5 is used to correct the offset voltage error, while R4 is  used to balance the bias current. The zero calibration uses the reference voltage […]

Chromel Alumel Thermocouple Current Loop Transmitter

The schematic diagram below show signal conditioning circuit for remote current loop temperature transmitter. This thermocouple temperature transmitter is loop powered, means it doesn’t need its own power supply since the supply is provided by the current loop receiver. Thermocouple is basically a junction of two different metallic material that measures the temperature difference. This thermocouple signal conditioner circuit is […]

Remote Sensor System Pre-Amp

Remote sensor might cause a trouble if it’s a passive type, has very low power output, and should be connected with relatively long cables. By supplying a current or voltage source through its connection wire, it’s possible to make long enough wiring without suffering much noise/interference. The following schematic diagram show a circuit consist of LM10 to make a remote […]

Single Cell Battery 1.5V 20dB Inverting Amplifier

Featuring very low power consumption, 675 nA is the total current  consumption for this amplifier  circuit. The output voltage swing is 300 mVpp with a 20 kΩ load. This very low power design is made possible by high gain low power operational amplifier CA3078. CA3037 is marked as obsolete product by Intersil, but they suggest ICL7611,ICL7612, CA5420A, CA3140, or CA3160 for […]

Microphone Pre-Amplifier with Tone Control

Microphone can’t be directly connected to a power amplifier because the signal is too weak. Standard audio power amplifier accept about 1 Vrms to give a full volume (maximum power), and off course there’s such microphone has such high level output. To provide signal with high enough amplitude, we can use a pre-amplifier circuit shown in the schematic diagram below: […]

Mic/Guitar Compressor with Transitor Bias Control

This is a compressor circuit that can be used for dynamic mic, condenser mic, or electric guitar pickup. This circuit doesn’t produce very good sound output, but it has very stable amplitude/volume. This compressor circuit design is unique since it uses base current control for manipulating the gain. Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: The first and second […]
