Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • ISOLATED AC CURRENT MONITOR
    This circuit uses a small AC current transformer from Magnetek to produce an isolated voltage proportional to the AC current in the primary winding.  The transformer contains a single turn primary with a low 0.001-ohm resistance.  It can easily handle 30 amps of AC current and provides at least 500vac of isolation.  With the components shown, the output AC voltage is scaled so 1 amp of current produces 100mv of AC voltage.

Connect Line-Level Signal to Phono Input  -  The circuit does two functions: signal level attenuation and inverse RIAA filtering. The signal attenuation is needed to convert the 500 mV signal to 2.5 mV signal. The inverse-RIAA filtering is needed to make the frequency response of the system flat (same equalization that is used when music is transferred to vinyl in the studio). The picture blow shows the frequency response of the ideal inverse-RIAA filter (added 11/05)

Flyback circuit provides isolated power conversion -  01/07/99 Issue of EDN  A common requirement in telecommunications systems is to convert an unregulated 48V line to an isolated, accurate dc supply voltage. The circuit in Figure 1 provides a 5V, 15W output. The circuit uses a UCC3809 primary-side controller, which can also control other single-ended converters. The topology uses peak-current-mode control with a fixed-frequency oscillator. The design is cost-efficient....Page includes several designs.  Scroll to find this one....
