Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • SQUARE WAVE DRIVER HAS FLEXIBLE OUTPUTS
    This circuit can produce an output signal ranging from DC to 100KHz. It can source a voltage ranging from 1v to 30v. It can sink a voltage ranging from zero volts to –30v. It can drive up to 200ma of current and can even be switched to a floating tristate output.

Single NiCd Cell Drives OpAmp -  12/05/96 EDN-Design Ideas.Low-supply-voltage op amps, such as the LMC6582 and LMC6681 families, feature rail-to-rail I/O with a gain-bandwidth product greater than 1 MHz operating from just 1.8V. Although impressive, this voltage is not low enough to power these amps using a single alkaline or NiCd/NiMH cell, which have typical voltages of 1.25 to 1.5V. It is rather tempting to bridge this gap by designing a dc/dc converter..... [Design Idea by Alexander Belousov, Rego Park, NY]
Single-ended driver for a Circlotron OTL -  Originally, this circuit was driving a 6B4G PP output stage. Transformer-coupled, naturally. I started with cap-coupled Mullard splitter using three 4P1L direct-heated loktal pentodes. Not bad at all, but had insufficient gain. Then I tried a plain Loftin-White configuration with a LL1660 interstage (this one is a one-of-a-kind custom 30mA version.....(schematic added 05/08)

Stealth-mode LED controls itself -  5/25/06  EDN Design Ideas.....Since the LED’s invention more than 30 years ago, its emission efficiency has steadily increased, and,  although it may surprise you, the increased conversion efficiency works in two directions. Certain bright, efficient LEDs, such as Hewlett-Packard’s (www.hp.com) HLMP-EG30-NR000, a red emitter molded in clear encapsulation, also exhibit significant.....PDF has several circuits, you will need to scroll to find this one.....

Switching regulator drives robot motor -  05/13/99 EDN-Design Ideas.....The circuit in Figure 1 shows an example of how you can use an integrated switching regulator (ISR] to efficiently vary the speed of a permanent-magnet dc motor. In this application, the rotating head of a robot senses the presence of an oncoming object (perhaps a human]. If the robot senses an object, it slows the rotation.....PDF contains many circuits, scroll to find this one.… [Design Idea by Donald Comiskey, Power Trends Inc, Warrenville, IL]
