Powering LED from Single AA Cell

The benefit of LED is longer lifetime than incandescent lamp, and even higher efficiency in latest LED technology. LED is also very compact, but unfortunately it needs higher voltage to operate. A single cell battery (1.5v) or rechargeable  cell (1.2V) cannot be used to power LED directly. We have to use a DC-to-DC step-up converter to enable single cell operation […]

Digitally Controlled Dual Polarity Amplifier

This schematic diagram below shows a Digitally Controlled Dual Polarity Amplifier circuit. The circuit (a) can give a means of amplifying a signal either in non inverting and inverting mode. When S2 is off and S1 is on, the noninverting input of the op amp is fed by the signal. The circuit behaves as a regular inverting amplifier, When switch  […]

Wheatston Bridge PWM Signal Conditioner

This is a schematic diagram of a Wheatston Bridge PWM Signal Conditioner circuit. This circuit uses the MAX1452 signal conditioner. A ratiometric compensated output for the Wheatstone Bridge is generated by the MAX1452. Then the output of the Wheatston bridge is converted to a PWM output. the PWM-output duty cycle changes accordingly, as the MAX1452 output changes with pressure. the […]

IL300XC Isolation Amplifier for TMP01 Temperature Sensor

This schematic diagram is about IL300XC Isolation Amplifier circuit for TMP01 Temperature Sensor. This circuit is used in an environment that needs to be electrically isolated from the central processing area. This circuit uses an 8-pin optoisolator (IL300XC). IL300XC was chosen because it can operate across a 5,000V. To drive the LED connected between Pin 2 and Pin 1, this […]
