Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • FET INPUT HIGH SPEED LIGHT DETECTOR
    This circuit is yet another design that converts current from a PIN photo diode to a voltage. It has a bandwidth that extends beyond 50MHz.

  • FINGER TOUCH ACTIVATED SWITCH
    It does not get any easier if you want a solid-state switch that is activated by the touch of a finger. Two small metal pins route voltage through the finger skin to a MOSFET switch. The circuit is great for situations where a membrane type mechanical switch is not desired.
