Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • Electrical Current Indicator
    I designed this circuit as a simple current indicator for any load ranging from 40 watts to 250 watts.  The circuit turns on a small LED, whenever it detects current flowing to a remote load.

Electrolytic capacitor tester - Firstly, we will describe the "add-on" version for the 5x7 Display as this is the cheapest version and, quite frankly, it only deserves a few dollars as a piece of test equipment. It's "all the rage" to have an Electrolytic Tester for servicing equipment and yet I have serviced over 36,000 appliances without one. Possibly it took me a long time to realise electrolytics have the capability of drying out because old-style electros were inherently.....(diagram added 05/07)

Electromagnetic field detector (mitedu) - This circuit is sensitive to low frequency electromagnetic radiation and will detect for example hidden wiring or the field that encompasses a transformer. Pickup is by a radial type inductor, used as a probe which responds well to low frequency changing magnetic and electric fields. Ordinary headphones are used to for detection. The field that surrounds a transformer is heard as a50 or 60Hz buzz.   (added 5/02)
Electromagnetic field detector (tomi.geo) - This lovely circuit is a real gem! Easy to assemble and more sensitive than many commercial devices available. It's based around an LF351 low-noise operational amplifier and a 1mF choke acting as the sensor. Unlike most other simple EMF detectors, this one has a meter output for accurate reading, but alternatively, you can also....(added 10/05)

The field that surrounds a transformer is heard as a50 or 60Hz buzz. (added 6/06)
Electromagnetic Field Probe with Meter Output - This tester is designed to locate stray electromagnetic (EM) fields. It will easily detect both audio and RF signals up to frequencies of around 100kHz. Note, however that this circuit is NOT a metal detector, but will detect metal wiring if it conducting ac current. Frequency response....(circuit added 05/07)

Eliminate thermoelectric EMF in Low ohm measurements - 06/13/02 EDN-Design Ideas:  When two different-metal conductors connect together in a loop and one of the junctions is at a higher temperature than the other, an electrical current flows through the loop. The magnitude of this current depends on the type of metals involved and the temperature differential of the junctions. When you open such a loop, a thermoelectric voltage.....(design idea added 1/05)

Emulator Speeds Testing - 09/25/03 EDN-Design Ideas:  Designing and testing embedded hardware can be frustrating if you have to rely on somebody else's perhaps-unready firmware to test your hardware.

Envelope Tracker Quells Jitter - 07/07/94 EDN-Design Ideas:  Fig 1's envelope tracking circuit solves the problem of receiving ac-coupled NRZ data over a coaxial data link. Because the spectral content of the NRZ data approaches dc (even with alternate frame inversion), the signal tends to integrate in any ac-coupled stage preceding the zero-crossing detector,.....(design idea added 6/06)

ESR & Low Ohms Meter (Jan '96)  - I (Bob Barker) originally designed this instrument for my own use, to help identify partly-open-circuit electrolytic capacitors in-circuit, which cause so many faults in switching power supplies, camcorders, TVs, monitors, etc. If you already have one, take a look at the ESR meter hints page, and if you're having problems with a meter you just built, check out the ESR meter problems page.  (circuit added 02/06)

Ethernet Weather Station - Using an add-on card to the already existing avr ethernet board we build a weather station. That is: A weather station with a build-in webserver. My original plan was to have sensors for temperature, air pressure and wind. I started a prototype and it worked very well except for the wind measurement part. I plan to improve the wind measurement hardware and add it at a later point in time. ….(electronic schematic added 11/08)
Exclusive 2.5 GHz Frequency Counter - A frequency counter is one of the most important measuring tool we need as homebrew's of RF electronic. This frequency counter has very high performance and still is very easy to build and to use. Anyone can build it and have a professional frequency measuring tool. The counter is based around a LCD display with 2 lines and 16 chars. I have used a HD44780 based display which is very common. A PIC16F870 circuit controls all counting and display functions. A prescaler is added to make it possible to measure up to 2.5GHz with high sensitivity. The Display Module Size (W x H x T): 80mm X 36mm. The controller PCB has the same size. This makes the unit very small and slim. ….(circuit design added 11/08)
Exclusive 2.5 GHz Frequency Counter with Blue 2x16 LCD display - This project explain a very powerful frequency counter which has many useful software functions. The software can add or subtract 3 different IF frequencies (±455 kHz ,±10.7 MHz and ±21.4 MHz). You have also two level of resolutions, 1kHz and 100Hz.....(schematic added 04/05/06)
Expanded Scale Battery Volt Meter - This circuit is used to measure the voltage on a 12V (nominal) lead acid rechargeable battery system. It was specifically designed for use in solar powered systems, but is general enough that it can be used for automotive or other 12V systems. Lead acid batteries normally spend their working lifetime in the voltage range of 11-15 Volts. This meter circuit was designed to....(added 10/05)
Expanded scale indicator revisited - 08/08/02 EDN-Design Ideas:  The visualization aid that a previous Design Idea describes allows only the expansion of the upper end of the scale (Reference 1).

Expanded Scale Voltmeter uses Just Two Parts - 01/20/94 EDN-Design Ideas:  The expanded voltmeter doesn't require trimpots to obtain usable accuracy or require the tedious selection of Zener diodes.

By using.....(design idea added 6/02)
