Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. : |
- LASER/LED
LIGHT OUTPUT INTENSITY METER
This circuit uses a large 1cm X 1cm silicon PIN photo diode and a transimpedance
amplifier to measure the light power output of infrared and visible LEDs and laser
diodes. It can be modified to produce almost any milliwatts to volts scale factor.
It can be connected to either a multi-meter or an oscilloscope.
|
- LIGHT
RECEIVER WORKS FROM 1KHz TO OVER 70MHz
This circuit uses one tiny C-MOS inverter IC to form a modulated light receiver with
a very fast response. It is designed around a PIN photo diode that is packaged for
use with plastic optical fibers. It can be used as an optical fiber receiver. By
using the open end of the optical fiber it can "sniff" out any modulated light
signals.
|
- OPTICAL RFID
TEST CIRCUIT
I designed this test the concept of using light techniques to send identification
data instead of RF. A more detailed discussion on this scheme can be found in the
Imagineered new products section.

- SINGLE IC
FORMS SENSITIVE MODULATED LIGHT RECEIVER
The circuit uses a very inexpensive C-MOS IC that is connected to a small
photodiode. Using a unique inductive feedback network, the circuit provides high
sensitivity under high ambient light conditions. It is a great circuit when you want
to extend the range of an optical remote control transmitter.
|
- Xenon
Lamp Flash Detector
This circuit has a very low standby current requirement yet has very high
sensitivity toward the light flashes from a xenon lamp. When connected to a
flip/flop it can serve as an on on/off controller.

Transimpedance Amp Covers DC to Gigahertz Range - 07/08/99 EDN-Design Ideas:
[Note: File contains multiple circuits. Scroll to find this one.] To
convert the weak, broadband signal from a fiber-optic transmission channel into
electrical form, you can use a high-impedance receiver or a transimpedance amplifier.
Either method provides the desired gain and bandwidth but removes.....(design idea
