This low drop out (LDO) voltage regulator need only few components, with very low noise and very low drop-out voltage. The circuit illustrated in the schematic diagram below gives a fixed 2.77 volt output, but this output voltage can be adjusted using two additional resistors. This circuit capable to supply 300 mA load from 3.0 V to 6.0 V input. […]

AN6884 is a logarithmic scale LED bar display driver. AN6884 accept wide range of supply voltage, ranging from 3.5V to 16V. This VU (voltage unit) bar display circuit provides only 5 levels, but will accept wide range of input level because the scale is logarithmic: -10, -5, 0, 3, and 6dB points. The output current for each LED will be […]

Implementing peak-detector circuits is very easy with the CA3130, as shown in schematic diagram of this circuit. The figure below shows the schematic diagram of the peak detector circuit. The upper section is peak-positive and the lower section is peak-negative circuit. Please note that with large-signal inputs, the bandwidth of the peak-negative circuit is much less than that of the […]

The schematic diagram below describe a precise full-wave rectifier circuit. The circuit needs only a single supply, make it suitable for battery operated devices. During the positive cycle of the input, the signal is directly fed through the feedback network to the output, give the transfer function of Vout=R3/(R1+R2+R3). At the positive cycle of the input, the diode 1N914 disconnect […]

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 shown in the schematic , […]

The excellent high input impedance, high slew rate, and high voltage qualities of CA3140 op-amp make it suitable for Wien-bridge sine wave oscillator. The basic circuit for Wien-bridge sine wave oscillator is shown in the figure below (the upper part). You can see the formula in the figure, when R1=R2=R, and C1=C2=C, then the formula would be a very simple […]
