A worked Stepping Motor Example -  Perhaps some of the most commonly available stepping motors, for the experimenter, are the head positioning motors from old diskette drives. These can be found at electronics swap meets, in computer surplus outlets, and even in trash dumpsters. In addition to a stepper, a typical full-height 5.25 inch disk drive includes a 12 volt DC motor with tachometer....(Circuit design added 09/08)
Accurately measure resistance with less than perfect components -  11-Nov-04 Issue of EDN  For transducers, such as strain gauges or thermistors, you must accurately and inexpensively measure resistance using circuitry built with imperfect components and in which gain and offset errors can significantly limit the accuracy of ohmic measurements. The right circuit topology makes it possible to eliminate most error terms while measuring ohms, leaving the accuracy to be determined by jus.... [Design Idea by Dave Van Ess, Cypress Semiconductor]
AN-828: Increasing the High Speed Torque of Bipolar Stepper Motors -  National Semiconductor Application Note....[App Note]
Circuit routes audio signals between equipment -  7-Jan-10 Issue of EDN  Analog devices let you switch audio channels with no signal loss.... [Design Idea by Roger Khourey, Los Angeles, CA]

High Precision Rail-to-Rail Output Operational Amplifier -  National Semiconductor Application Note LMV2001 April 2004....[App Note]
Make a simple ramp generator for stepper-motors -  4-Apr-02 Issue of EDN  Stepper motors are synchronous motors that step at the pulse rate of the driving signal. For the motor to move quickly, the stepping rate must be fast. However, because of motor and load inertia, the motor often cannot go from 0 rpm to the desired number of revolutions per minute in one step. Therefore, most stepper motors receive their drive from a pulse chain that starts out slowly and.... [Design Idea by Richard Brien, GSI Lumonics, Wilmington, MA]
Soft-start controller is gentle on loads -  22-Nov-01 Issue of EDN  The control circuit in Figure 1 senses a given load and automatically soft-starts the load by synchronously adjusting the power to that load. You can also manually adjust the power delivered to the load by controlling the phase angle of the line voltage across the load. The phase-angle adjustment for every ac half cycle covers 0 to 180°.... [Design Idea by Douglas Sudjian, Resonext Communications Inc, San Jose, CA]
