Very Low Noise Amplifier - The phase noise of low noise oscillators and signal sources is usually determined by
measuring the audio noise voltage at the output of the phase comparator in a phase-locked loop. The phase
comparator is typically a low noise doubly-balanced mixer with a phase slope from a few tenths of a volt per
radian to a few volts per radian. The low. . . [Charles Wenzel (unless otherwise noted)]

Voltage Monitor Prevents Deep Discharge of Battery - 09/26/96 EDN Design Idea To avoid the deep discharge that can destroy or shorten the life
of a rechargeable battery, you must disconnect its load before the discharge is complete. This disconnect
function requires a battery-voltage monitor, which must incorporate considerable hysteresis to prevent chatter in
the disconnect switch. The chatter occurs as the battery voltage first dips below threshold and then bounces back
on load removal. . . [by Ron Clark and Larry Suppan, Maxim Integrated Products]

Volume unit meter spans 60 dB dynamic range - 10-Nov-05
EDN Design Idea An audio volume-unit meter displays peak-related audio Amplitudes to aid in accurately setting
recording levels or for displaying an Amplifier's operating conditions. A simple diode and capacitor network
provides a classic volume-unit meter's peak-weighted response, but the circuit typically limits response to about
23 dB of displayable dynamic range, and the meter suffers from errors that its pointer's inertia and mechanical
"ballistics" introduce. Contemporary displays eliminate the inertia problem by using arrays of lighted elements
to form bar graphs, but any shortcomings in response and accuracy characteristics now shift to the
signal-processing domain. . . [by Jon Munson, Linear Technology Corp, Sunnyvale, CA]
