Low-noise AC Amplifier has digital control of gain & bandwidth - 02/05/04 EDN-Design Ideas In low-noise analog circuits, a high-gain amplifier serves at the input to increase the SNR. The input signal level determines the input-stage gain; low-level signals require the highest gain. It is also standard practice in low- Design by Philip Karantzalis, Linear Technology App Note, Milpitas, CA,
Network imitates thermocouples - 11/08/01 EDN-Design Ideas Thermocouples find wIdeaspread use for temperature measurement in systems. During system design or testing, you must observe the system's response at different temperatures. However, it's inconvenient to heat a thermocouple every tim Design by Abel Raynus, Armatron International, Melrose, MA
Performs High-Speed Voltage-To-Current, Current-To-Current Conversion - 07/25/02 EDN-Design Ideas The circuit in Figure 1performs active voltage-to-current conversion or acts as a variable-gain current mirror with high precision and bandwidth. A typical application is testing high-speed ICs or other devices that have inputs des Design by Ali Mehmed, Nokia UK Ltd, Southwood, UK
Positive feedback yields fast Amplifier with precision DC offset - 1-Apr-04 EDN-Design Ideas Some signal-processing applications require a high-speed, low-noise, dc-coupled amplifier that incorporates a precision dc-offset adjustment. Examples include oscilloscopes, in which the offset adjustment typically acts as a "position" control], ADC-input gain blocks, and scanning-ion-beam-microscopy deflection circuitry Design by Steve Woodward, Chapel Hill, NC
