Medium Wave Active Antenna - This circuit is designed to amplify the input from a telescopic whip antenna. The preamplifier is designed to cover the medium waveband from about 550Khz to 1650Khz. The tuning voltage is supplied via RV2, a 10k potentiometer connected to the 12 Volt power supply __ Designed by David Sayles Memory supply includes battery backu - 02/03/97 EDN Design Ideas: The 5 to 3.3V switching regulator in Figure 1 includes battery-backup power for low-voltage memory if the 5V supply fails. The design of such a backup circuit is difficult if only one NiCd or NiMH
cell is available for the backup power source and you assume that the standby current drain on the 3.3V supply is in the 5- to 10-mA range. Also, for the battery backup to function correctly, several actions are necessary when the switchover to backup power occurs. One is that the whole circuit must disconnect from the 5V supply; otherwise, the battery tries to power the whole system. Also, the switcher must shut down to a micropower condition. The circuit in Figure 1 accomplishes all of these tasks. Design by Craig Varga, Linear Technology Corp, Milpitas, CA
Method provides fast, glitch-free isolation of I2C & SMBus signals - 24-Jun-04 EDN Design Ideas: i2C is a popular serial protocol for power controllers, ADCs and DACs, EEPROMs, and other devices. in certain data-acquisition and power-control situations, you must isolate the i2C master from one orslave devices for noise, grounding, or safety issues. Also, although 128 peripherals may connect to the bus, at some point, differences in ground potential and excessive bus capacitance Design by Mark Thoren, Linear Technology Corp, Milpitas, CA
Method provides overpower protection for quasiresonant supplies - 28-Oct-04 EDN Design Ideas: The main characteristic of quasiresonant switch-mode power supplies is that they exhibit a varying frequency when the input voltage changes. For a flyback power supply, the power delivered to the output obeys the following equation POUT=1/2 (LP×iP 2×FSWη], where LP is the primary inductance, iP is the peak primary current, FSW is the switching frequency, and η is the e Design by Nicolas Cyr, On Semiconductor, Toulouse, France

Multiplexes Automotive Sensors - 01/20/00 EDN Design Ideas: Often, aµC limits the number of input-capture lines to accommodate the various types of automotive sensors with pulsed outputs, such as vehicle- and engine-speed sensors. The circuit in Figure 1 uses discrete components to multiplex two sensors with open-collector outputs into a single output, thereby sharing one input-capture line of the µC. The µC selects the sensor whose output you will measure. Design by Adil Ansari
Negative 0.5 Volt Supply - This simple circuit consists of two LEDs and a photo diode. it generates a negative voltage with a current level of a couple milliamps. it is ideal for supplying a negative rail to low power “rail to rail” op amp circuits, which need to have a true zero volts output. Note: This circuit is not particularly efficient . . . Hobby Circuit designed by David Johnson P.E.-July, 2006

Negative voltage generation using 555
timer
- This circuit and project demonstrates the application of 555
to generate negative supply. The negative supply produced is
about 3 volts lesser than the applied voltage due to various
losses. At times the circuit requires both negative and positive
supply, which is not available in the batteries. [by Ashutosh

Although impressive, this voltage is not low enough to power these amps using a single alkaline or NiCd/NiMH
