Precision Power Regulator with Low Temperature Coefficient

Making a precision voltage source is easy, but not so easy if the voltage should be consistent over wide range of ambient temperature. Such requirement might be needed in high precision measurement system, for providing reference voltage in analog to digital conversion for example. Here is the circuit’s schematic diagram: The LM236, LM336 voltage references are easier to use than […]

Linear Ohmmeter

If  we’re working with analog Ohmmeter,  we get different scale for high and low resistance value, make the reading of higher value more difficult. Just switch your analog meter to voltmeter mode and use this adapter circuit to make resistance reading easier. Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: This circuit uses LM336 for good stability. The LM336 is […]

Adjustable Shunt Regulator

This shunt regulator acts like a Zener diode, but we can adjust the voltage (via a potentiometer). Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: When the maximum load current is known, then we can choose Rs such as that Rload (at max current) and Rs form a voltage divider that gives a voltage level at slightly higher than the […]

Single Supply Instrumentation Amplifier

This is a single supply instrumentation amplifier circuit. This circuit can be used to replace the function of conventional differential-amplifier topologies to load the Dc gain on a low level signal. This circuit has high input impedance of non-inverting op-amp inputs. Here is the circuit : This circuit uses single supply, so the strain gauges are operated from Vcc. There […]
