SUCCESSIVE_APPROXIMATION_A_D_CONVERTER
A bipolar input, high speed A/D converter uses two AM25L03s to form a 14-bit successive approximation register. The comparator is a two-stage circuit with an HA2605 front-end amplifier used to reduce settling time problems at the summing node. Careful offset-nulling of this amplifier is needed.   (View)

OCTAL_D_A_CONVERTER

Published:2009/6/23 2:00:00 Author:May

OCTAL_D_A_CONVERTER
This octal digital-to-analog converter operates on 5V and provides eight output voltages, each digitally adjustable from supply rail to supply rail (0 to 5V). Each output's resolution is 20 mV/LSB. The DAC chip (IC1) requires 3.5V of headroom between its VDD and reference voltages. However, a voltage-doubler charge pump (IC2) removes this limitation by generating an approximate 10-V supply for VDD. All of the converter references are connected to the 5-V supply. IC2 doubles the 5-V input to an unregulated 10-V output that has an output impedance of less than 10Ω. It can deliver 100 rnA, which enables the eight DACs to issue their maximum output currents simultaneously (8×5 mA = 40 mA).   (View)

OUTPUT_TO_CURRENT_CONVERTER

OUTPUT_TO_CURRENT_CONVERTER
Occasionally, it is preferable to generate a cur-rent, rather than a voltage, output into the load.The availability of differential inputs aJlows this to be accomplished in any of the four basic modes.If the output is to integrated, ZL can be sim-ple high-quality capacitor, unloaded by an op amp connected as a high-impedance follower.Note that, if desired, one side of a rest switch can be grounded.The compliance constraint for this configura-tion, where VL is an arbitrary common-mode po-tential, is: |VL+IOUT(ZL+RS)|≤12V   (View)

CURRENT_TO_VOLTAGE_CONVERTER_FOR_GROUNDED_LOADS

Published:2009/6/23 1:42:00 Author:May

CURRENT_TO_VOLTAGE_CONVERTER_FOR_GROUNDED_LOADS
This circuit uses an Analog Devices AD830 video difference amplifier. The circuit consists of two differential inputs. Unlike a conventional op amp, the AD830's output is nulled when the sum of the differences of the two inputs is zero.The AD830's stated unity-gain bandwidth is 60 MHz, and the device is capable of driving up to ±30 mA directly. The differential input voltage is limited to ±2V, while the maximum power supply is ±15 V.If more output current is desired, the AD830 can drive a bipolar transistor (such as an MJE200) directly. This will produce a one-sided output.A ferrite bead can be placed on the base to prevent oscillation under some conditions. Com-pensation can be added by splitting RS, and adding a variable capacitor. A resistor can be po-sitioned at the input to match the amplifier's in-put to a transmission line.   (View)

SYNC_TO_ASYNC_CONVERTER

Published:2009/6/22 23:58:00 Author:May

SYNC_TO_ASYNC_CONVERTER
This simple converter donsists of two ICs and a voltage regulator. The Sipex MAS7838, which acts as the converter, selects the conversion speed to that of the synchronized data clock. It has intemal switches and registers to perform the async-to-sync, or sync-to-async, conversion. The Maxim MAX238 provides the RS-232 drivers and receivers for interfacing with the data bus. These chips require a 5-Vdc power supply; a generic 78L05 reduces the +12V at the DB25 pin 9 to the +5V needed. A crystal fre-quency of 4.91MHz is suitable for convetting to 19.2 kbits or a sub-multiple (9.6, 4.8, 2.4, etc.). Two 1N4001 diodes protect the extemal RTS (ready to send) control circuitry if the RTS is enabled by S1.When JP1 is removed, the converter is transparent in the sync mocte and no conversion will occur.The completed unit is mounted atop a universal breakout adapter, and the control lines are jumpered according to the chart in the figure. The physical size is approximately 1 x 2.25 x 2.5 inches and will easily plug into the DB25 socket on a synchronized data communications equipment (DCE) communication device.   (View)

BUFFER_FOR_A_D_CONVERTERS

Published:2009/6/22 22:47:00 Author:May

BUFFER_FOR_A_D_CONVERTERS
This circuit uses an LT1366 driving an LTC1288 two-channel micropower A/D. The LTC1288 can accommodate voltage references and input signals equal to the supply rails. The sampling nature of this A/D eliminates the need for an external sample-and-hold, but might call for a drive amplifier be-cause of the A/D's 12-ps settling requirement. The LT1366's rail-to-rail operation and low-input off-set voltage make it well suited for low-power, low-frequency A/D applications. In addition, the op-amp's output settles to 1% in response to a 3-mA load step through 100 pF in less than 1.5μs.   (View)

FREQUENCY_TO_VOLTAGE_CONVERTER
The AD537 can also be used to perform frequency-to-voltage conversion. The transistor pair shown here operates as an exclusive-or gate to perform the phase comparison. It locks onto the input frequency within two cycles. The configuration requires only 3 mA for frequencies up to 10 kHz. In most situations, an output buffer will be required to unload the filter.

INDUSTRIAL_FREQUENCY_TO_VOLTAGE_CONVERTER

Published:2009/6/19 3:02:00 Author:May

INDUSTRIAL_FREQUENCY_TO_VOLTAGE_CONVERTER
Control and process equipment often require the indication of frequency (speed or rate) of linear or rotary mechanical movement. Motion can be detected using various pulse-generating pickups and proximity detectors that output ac or dc pulsed signals.This industrial converter can serve in a wide variety of applications. The circuit operates around a quad-FET input op amp and is designed to be selfcontained or run from a bipolar supply. The in-put signal of dc pulses or ac waveforms is applied to R2.Amplifier 1, which acts as a Schmitt trigger, supplies a squarewave output of fixed amplitude to C4. Resistor R3 and capacitor C6 filter out input noise, and R4 and R5 determine the switching levels, and Zener diode 23 sets the amplitude.Amplifier 2 gives a fixed-duration pulse on the positive transition of C4, with a time constant set by C4 and R6 and the switching level set by R7 and R8. Resistor R9 and Zener diode 22 fix the am-plitude of the pulses and amplifier 3 integrates them via R10 and C5. Diode D6 blocks negative inte-gration and R11 discharges C5 with a long-time constant.Hence, the dc output of amplifier 3 is proportional to the frequency applied to the input. Amplifier 4 inverts and buffers the negative output of amplifier 3 and provides amplitude adjustment voltage.The complete circuit is linear and sufficiently accurate providing that C4 is chosen to give a pulse duration less than the maximum input frequency and that R11 > R10.   (View)
