Add fault protection to a 4 to 20 mA loop supply: 01/22/04 EDN Design Ideas
/ (added 1/05) A 4- to 20-mA current loop consists of a power source and a
current-measuring device at the control end and a field transmitter that senses
process-variable information, such as temperature or pressure, and converts it to a
current (Figure 1). Most such industrial current loops are powered by 24V dc, but that
voltage can range from 12 to 36V....
AN-1194: Failsafe Biasing
of LVDS Interfaces: National Semiconductor - Application Note
(Circuit / schematic design added 6/06)
AN-246: Isolation Barrier Precisely Protects Transducer Signals: AN-246 -
Analog Devices Application Notes (Circuit / schematic design added 6/06) Through
the Judicious Use of Isolation Amplifiers that Incorporate Transformer Coupling, You

AN-249: over Voltage
Protection for the ADG5XXA Multiplexer Series: AN-249 - Analog Devices
Application Notes (Circuit / schematic design added 6/06)
AN892: Fail-Safe
Monitoring and Clock Frequency Switching using the PIC16f684: Microchip
Application Note - Published 16-Dec-03 (Circuit / schematic design added
6/06)
Automotive Relay Drivers using the Zvn4206av: Protection Free Interfacing with
Avalanche Rated MOSFETs: Zetec Semiconductors - Applications Notes
- An alternative solution is provided to the usual large package Darlington
effected relay driver. The ZVN4206AV has been designed, processed and rated to
withstand significant energy within the breakdown region. This allows the part to
absorb back-emf and transient energy, thereby allowing lower component count
circuits. (Circuit / schematic design added 6/06)
Battery automatic power off has simpler design: 03/31/05
EDN-Design Ideas / (added 10/05) In low-noise analog circuits, a
high-gain amplifier serves at the input to increase the SNR. The input signal
level determines the input-stage gain; low-level signals require the highest gain.
It is also standard practice in low-noise analog-signal processing to make the
circuit's bandwidth as narrow as possible to pass only the useful input-signal
spectrum..... (added 10/05)
Battery Protection Circuit Allows Surges: 06/05/97 EDN-Design Ideas /
(Electronic circuit added 5/02) -- Circuit monitors two lithium-ion
batteries and protects both of them against Overcharging, Overdischarging, and
undervoltage
Broken Charger-connection Alert: Detects if a device is not properly
connected to its supply. Suitable for battery chargers, portable appliance
supplies etc. (circuit design added 3/05)
