Very Low Power Astable
Multivibrator - This classic circuit draws only
200 nanoamps from a 1. 5v supply . . . [Circuit by Dave Johnson P.E., 06/10/00]
Very Low Power Gated Crystal
Oscillator - The circuit gates the output of a
continuously operating 32KHz crystal oscillator to the input of a C-MOS buffer when clock pulses are needed.
The technique gets around the problem of a slow starting crystal oscillator by keeping the oscillator going
and switching on a transistor power stage only as needed . . . [Circuit by David Johnson P.E., 06/03/00]
VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent Display) Flyback Power
Supply - The LT3758 is a wide input range, current
mode, DC/DC controller which is capable of generating either positive or negative output voltages. It can be
configured as either a boost, flyback, SEPIC or inverting converter. The LT3758 drives a low side external
N-channel power MOSFET from an internal regulated 7. 2V supply. The. . . [Linear Technology App Note, Jan

Voltage Boost
- In this design a marginal AC to DC linear power supply
provides a voltage boost, so it can maintain regulation at low line voltages. The added components are wired
at the AC input and the + DC output of an existing bridge rectifier circuit. The components act as a full
wave “charge pump” which will boost the DC output voltage across the main filter capacitor C3. Without the
boost circuit, when the AC line voltage drops to 105vac, the DC output voltage only reaches 11. 5 volts, too
low for a 12v voltage regulator. . . . [Hobby Circuit designed by Dave Johnson P.E., 07/18/06]
Voltage Boost to
Series Regulator provided by Capacitor - This
circuit adds some capacitors and diodes to a traditional transformer type series regulator circuit to extend
the normal operating range. It can insure regulation during low line voltage conditions or it can squeeze a
few more watts out of a plug-in-the-wall power adapter power supply . . . [Hobby Circuit designed by David

Converters-0.5 to 6 Volts - Conventional silicon
transistors just can't operate at voltages less than about 0. 7v. Old germanium transistors could be used,
but those are hard to find these days and most are rather large in size. Some new n-channel MOSFET devices

Voltage-to-Current converter offers precisely defined dead-band
- 07/29/13 EDN Design Idea Dead-bands have application in control
loops and other areas. In the control of nonlinear and linear systems, sometimes a slight nonlinearity is
intentionally inserted into the closed control loop. “Slight” here means that the output of the inserted
element starts to vary linearly, but only once the input exceeds a nonzero threshold value. For inputs from
zero to the threshold, the output of the element has zero value. The result is that adding of this nonlinear
element can quench damped oscillations, which are typical for feedback systems. . . . [by Marian Stofka]
