2 instrumentation amps make accurate voltage-to-current-source -
14-May-09 Issue of EDN Many designs require precise
voltage-controlled current sources, especially in the presence of
variable loads. Common approaches, which use a few op amps and a
handful of passive components, have inherent errors due to nonideal
component characteristics, such as finite open-loop gain, common-mode
rejection,.... [Design Idea by Frank Ciarlone, Analog Devices,

Active-feedback IC serves as current-sensing instrumentation amplifier -
24-Jul-03 Issue of EDN High-speed current sensing presents a designer with some
significant challenges. Most techniques for sensing current involve measuring the
differential voltage the current produces as it flows through a sense element, such as
a resistor or a Hall-effect device. The differential voltage across the sense element
is generally small and is often riding on a common-mode voltage that is
considerably.... [Design Idea by Jonathan Pearson, Analog Devices, Wilmington, MA] |

Amplifier and current-source emulate instrumentation amplifier - 13-Nov-03 Issue
of EDN The classic three- or two-op-amp instrumentation-amplifier circuits are
standard ways to amplify a small-amplitude differential signal contaminated with high
common-mode noise. In some applications, the signal source is floating with
high-series-output impedance and thus requires an appropriate high-input-impedance
amplifier.... [Design Idea by Dobromir Dobrev, Jet Electronics, Sofia, Bulgaria] |
