Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • High Impedance JFET Buffers
    I have used these circuits many times.  They are great when you need a low gain AC signal amplifier with a very high input impedance.  It is good to beyond 50MHz.

IC maintains uniform Bias for GaAs MESFETs:  08/22/02 EDN Design Ideas  /  (added 1/05)  The gate-turn-on threshold voltage for GaAs MESFETs (gallium-arsenide metal-semiconductor field-effect transistors) varies considerably from part to part, even within a given lot. That behavior makes biasing difficult, especially if you want to design the device into a high-volume product. To overcome this drawback, you can introduce a current sensor that monitors the bias current and provides ......

Improve FET based gain Control:  12/06/01 EDN Design Ideas  /  (added 1/05)  One problem with standard FET gain-control circuits is increased noise when you use the FET as a part of a resistive attenuator in series with an op amp. This configuration attenuates the signal before amplification; hence, it requires much higher gain bandwidth and better noise performance from the op amp. ...

Inverted Bipolar Transistor Doubles as a Signal Clamp:  06/07)/01 EDN-Design Ideas / (added 6/06) A number of circuits, such as level detectors and AM demodulators, benefit from a rectifier with a low offset voltage. Silicon diodes have an offset of approximately 0.6V and do not work well in low-level circuitry. A Schottky diode is a bit better...

Isolated MOSFET  Driver has Wide duty cycle range:  04/29/04 EDN Design Ideas  /  (added 1/05)  The main application for the circuit in Figure 1 is for driving power MOSFETs with signals ranging in frequency from 1 Hz to 300 kHz and with duty cycles from 0 to 100%. You achieve this goal by using a coreless pc-board transformer. The switching frequency in most power-electronics circuits ranges from a few hertz to a few hundred kilohertz....
