Links to electronic circuits, electronic schematics, designs for engineers, hobbyists, students & inventors:
40 MHz Programmable Video Op Amp -  National Semiconductor Application Note 04 Nov1995 / (app note added 6/06)
ActiveX control brings-bit Manipulation to Windows -  05/25/00 EDN-Design Ideas....Nothing compares with the C language for working with bits. C .... [Design Idea by Steve Hageman, Agilent Technologies, Santa Rosa, CA]
ADC for programmable logic uses one capacitor -  12-Nov-09 Issue of EDN  Use a capacitor's charging and discharging time to sense a user input.... [Design Idea by Jef Thoné and Robert Puers, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Leuven, Belgium' Edited by Martin Rowe and Fran Granville]
Apex-AN07 Programmable Power Supplies -  9/2007, AN7UREVC : 235 Kb (Apex App Note added 08/08/08)
Assembly code reads IDE drive parameters -  05/09/96 EDN-Design Ideas....Many older disk drives and most current models that interface with the ATA or IDE standard have readable configuration tables. These .... [Design Idea by John Foster, Advanced Control Systems, Norcross, GA]

Autoranging circuit simplifies hardware & software -  07/22/99 EDN-Design Ideas....A natural approach to autoranging is to use an inverting op amp and switch in one of N feedback resistors at a time for a gain of A=-RF/RO (Figure 1]…. [Design Idea by Dana Romero, Phonex, Midvale, UT]
Binary Coded Decimal Bcd Clock -  The clock circuit above uses seven ICs and 19 LEDs to indicate binary coded decimal time. The LEDs can be arranged (as shown in example above) so that each horizontal group of 3 or 4 LEDs represents a decimal digit between 0 and 9 and each individual LED represents a single bit or (binary digit) of the value. Binary digits.... [Electronic Schematic by Bill Bowden]
Bridge-temperature measurement Allows software compensation -  08/17/00 EDN-Design Ideas....Bridge transducers are notoriously temperature-sensitive. When the temperature changes, almost everything else varies with some parameters increasing and some decreasing. The TCS (temperature coefficient of span) is generally negative for piezoelectric pressure sensors,.... [Design Idea by John Wynne, Analog Devices Inc, Limerick, Ireland]
C function turns PC into serial bus master -  09/02/96 EDN-Design Ideas....The UARTs built into most microcontrollers support a "9th-bit" communications mode. If the master sets the 9th bit of a character it transmits, the slaves then interpret that character as a slave address, not as data. The 9th-bit mode simplifies master-slave communications by using character protocols over multidrop serial lines, such as the RS-485. A PC's UART family (for example, the 8251 or 16550), however,.... [Design Idea by Gregory Young, Z-World Engineering, Davis, CA]
C Program Calculates checksums -  02/15/01 EDN-Design Ideas....To ensure data integrity, it's wise to frequently calculate file checksums. The C program in Listing 1 calculates the checksum of a file using a 16-bit CRC (cyclic redundancy check). The program assumes an 8-bit byte size. The routine reads the file.... [Design Idea by Ken Levine, Airshow Pacific Systems, Kirkland, WA]
C Program simulates industrial temperature system -  11/10/94 EDN-Design Ideas The program in the ZIPfile attached to EDN BBS /DI_SIG #1621, written in Borland C, simulates industrial-temperature-data display and control. It displays four independent channels simultaneously…. [Design Idea by Jyoti Vandana, World Friends Design Group Kalpakkam, Tamilnadu, India]
C routine detects single high bits -  07/04/96 EDN-Design Ideas....Sometimes, you need to be able to verify  existence of just one high bit in a word.  This ability can be useful, for example, to verify wher just one bit in a mask of mutually exclusive flags is set or if an incongruence exists in a word representing a set of input contacts. The most obvious way to implement this verification is to use a loop.... [Design Idea by Maurizio Denna, Eurotherm SpA, Guanzate, Italy]
C routine speeds decimal to binary Conversion -  11/24/99 EDN-Design Ideas....A previous Design Idea ("Program provides integer-to-binary conversion," EDN, March 2, 1998, pg 110) describes a C/C++ function that provides integer-to-binary conversion. The function, named cintbin/classicC, implements a conversion in a straightforward way.... [Design Idea by Giovanni Motta, Brandeis University, Waltham, MA]
Circuit measures software execution time -  03/17/94 EDN-Design Ideas.... EDN is migrating links. This link is not verified.  Search the "title" + "EDN" for new link.
Comparator has programmable limits -  12/31/69 EDN-Design Ideas....The circuit in Figure 1 combines a dual buffered D/A converter and dual four-input comparator to configure a comparator circuit with a digitally programmable window center and width. The circuit has three outputs that separately indicate the comparison states: within the window,....[File contains multiple circuits.  Scroll to find this one.].... [Design Idea by Michele Frantisek, Brno, Czech RepublicMichele Frantisek, Brno, Czech Republic]
Connect a-modem to a Basic Stamp -  09/16/99 EDN-Design Ideas....   EDN is migrating links. This link is not verified.  Search the "title" + "EDN" for new link.
