First Order Low-Pass Active Filter: The Circuit Schematic Diagram and The Design Formula

The simple low-pass filter is shown in Figure below. The filter has a 20dB/decade roll-off after its corner frequency fc. Its low-pass frequency gain (f->0) is defined by R3/R1. This allows low-frequency gains other than unity to be obtained.  R2 should be chosen equal to the parallel combination of R1 and R3 to minimize error due to bias current. LMV721/722 […]

Two Op-Amps Instrumentation Amplifier

For standard instrumentation amplifier, a three op-amps instrumentation amplifier circuit is common, but if you need smaller component count and lower cost, you can use just two op-amps for the same function: a high impedance and good CMRR for sensor pre-amplification and buffering. Here is the circuit’s schematic duiagram: A two-op-amp instrumentation amplifier can also be used to make a […]

Three Op-Amps Instrumentation Amplifier

Using LMV721/722 or any other high impedance op-amps, you can build an instrumentation amplifier using standard three op-amps instrumentation amplifier circuit. The figure below shows the circuit’s schematic diagram. The final stage of this instrumentation amplifier is a differential-input, differential-output amplifier, with two voltage followers feed its inputs. These two voltage followers assure that the input impedance is over 100M. […]

Single Chip Single Supply Instrumentation Amplifier

The AD623 is a single chip instrumentation amplifier. The internal circuit is based on a modified classic three op amp approach to assure single or dual supply operation even at common-mode voltages at the negative supply rail. Some key features are: Low voltage offsets, input and output, as well as absolute gain accuracy, and one external resistor to set the […]

LM1894: Single Chip Dynamic Noise Reduction System (DNR)

The LM1894 is a stereo noise reduction circuit suitable for audio playback application. The DNR system is non-complementary, meaning that it does not require encoded source signal. The system is compatible with almost all prerecorded tapes and FM broadcasts. This noise reduction system uses  psycho-acoustic masking and an adaptive bandwidth filtering to achieve 10 dB noise reduction.  This DNR would […]
