Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • 1 AMP CURRENT INJECTOR
    When you need to measure resistance down to a few micro ohms, this circuit works great. It is powered from two "C" cell batteries and is designed to inject a well-regulated one amp of current into the unknown resistance. By measuring the voltage drop across the resistor with a digital voltmeter, the resistance value can be accurately measured. The circuit also is equipped with a low battery monitor. Published in Popular Electronics, November 1992

  • 120vac Under Voltage Tester
    Using a cheap 24vac transformer, this circuit can test a product under low 95vac conditions.  With the components show, it has a rating of 250 watts max.
  • 20MHz VCSEL 3mW LASER TEST CIRCUIT
    This circuit takes advantage of some new vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSEL) that don’t require light output control circuits. The circuit shows how to drive the device from a single high speed CMOS IC. The circuit can easily be modified to transmit signals from kilohertz to about 50MHz.
  • 40KHZ LED TEST SIGNAL GENERATOR
    This 40KHz crystal controlled oscillator circuit drives an infrared LED with powerful 40ma pulses.  The circuit can be used to test optical communications circuits, designed to receive 40KHz modulated light signals.

3.3V converter delivers 3W from Li-ion battery -  11/05/98 EDN-Design Ideas....Lithium-ion batteries are rapidly gaining popularity in portable applications because of their superior energy density, low self-discharge rate, and high cell voltage. When you use one Li-ion battery to... [Design Idea by David Salerno, Unitrode Corp, Merrimack, NH]
3.3V Lithium Cell Supply Requires One Inductor -  08/05/99 EDN-Design Ideas....Because of  growing popularity of lithium-ion (Li-ion]batteries and 3.3V power supplies, portable-equipment designers must often create a 3.3V supply that a single Li-ion cell can power.... [Design Idea by Matt Schindler and Jay Scolio, Maxim Integrated Products, Sunnyvale, CA]
30 Meter QRP Transmitter for Morse Code -  This transmitters' intended purpose is for morse-code only in  30 meter band (Tony van Roon's 10Mhz).  It is a low-power QRP type and needs to be connected to your existing tranceiver.  harmonic rejections on  prototype were measured at 40dB on 20Mhz and 50dB on 30Mhz.... [Tony van Roon's circuit]
300ma DC-to-AC Converter -  This circuit was used to provide battery backup to a device that had an AC (output) wall transformer. Due to  quasi-sine-wave output and imprecise 60Hz output frequency, some devices might not work properly. Peak output is  DC input voltage minus about 20 ohms drop. Use bigger output MOSFETS for more current output.  [Designed by Andrew R. Morris  (added 6/06)]
3-30 V/2.5 A Stabilized Power Supply -  The power supply is using a well known and quite popular VOLTAGE STABILIZER IC the LM 723. The IC can be adjusted for out put voltages that vary continuously between 2 and 37 VDC and has a current rating of 150 mA …..(electronic design added 6/07)
3-Digit DVM Voltmeter -  Uses 3161, CA3162 ICs ….(design added 11/08)
3-Digit Volt/ Amper Meter -  Even if the digital multimeters have dominated in a lot of applications, in the measurement, exist the need for existence of instruments of clue in various appliances, voltage and current, as in power supply or elsewhere. The circuits that give make this precisely the work, measure the voltage in terminal a circuit and the current that passes in his. The circuit does not present particular difficulties for somebody that has a small experience. The two circuits are the himself, with a small difference only in their input, when they have they measure voltage or current and in connection that concern decimal point. …....
