    How to size (V and A) filter components?

    Hello, all, I'm just beginning to learn about designing practical filter circuits. Using tools like Elsie, I think I can choose the components sizes for filters. However, I don't know how to size the components for the expected amperage (to choose the wire size for hand-wound inductors) or...

    Negative Voltage Output from Logic Level Input

    Hey guys, I'm looking for a circuit that generates -5V from a +5V signal from a microcontroller to open and close a depletion mode n channel-mosfet. I figured this could be done with transistors/solid-state devices but I'm stuck and would appreciate some help with this I'm looking for a...

    Generate 200MHz Phase-Shifted Voltage Sine Waves

    I'm looking into a way to construct a circuit that can generate ~200MHz negative voltage sine waves (8 channels), where there is 11 degrees of phase offset between the channels (0 deg, 11 deg, 22 deg, ...). I would like to be able to adjust the frequency, phase offset and possibly amplitude of...

    Low cost discreet buck boost converter design.

    Hi, My requirement is that I have an input of 10VC to 32VDC and I have to design a power supply that can convert the said input to 12VDC with a capability of sustaining load of 310mA minimum. As i am looking for a cost effective solution it will require me to design a discreet buck boost...

    Analog Design for Breadboard Squareroot Function.

    I'm trying to design a analog square root sub circuit to process an input voltage and output sqrt(vin). I want to Use something other than a log and antilog amplifier with a voltage divider in between but I'm really struggling to design an alternative as I am still learning. I have tried a...

    understanding the diode demodulator circuit?

    Hi everyone, I watch this video, min 3:30 upward, and it says that the demodulation of AM is when the diode is in the reverse biased but then the current flows!!! isn’t tit the current stop flowing when the diode is reverse biased? Crystal radio circuit analysis/diode demodulation (8-Analog...

    Celsius zero shift for two -terminal temperature sensor circuit not completely understood?

    Hi everyone, So, as I am reading this part of amazing book, the Celsius zero shift for two -terminal temperature sensor circuit of Fig 21.19 is not fully understood by me. what I understood: -The \[ V_{\text{Temp}} \] at the two terminal of the Zenner diode is directly coming from the circuit...

    Why the offset of source-follower(which connected to the output of opamp as voltage buffer) will limit the op-amp output swing ?

    I am currently reading Gray,Hurst's book Analysis and design of analog integrated circuits, chapter 12, the Common-mode feedback circuit. On page 815, he said the following statement for improvement of resistive output loading of CMFB circuit. The following figure 12.17 is the CMFB circuit after...

    How and when to use a NMOS and PMOS as current source/sink and voltage source in a circuit?

    as my question state, I am having trouble understanding the circuit using a NMOS/PMOS as a current source or voltage source according to the pins they are connected and also the input and output impedance present when looking at only one pin of the MOS. my lack of understanding comes in the...

    Help this complete and utter newbie get an op amp voltage follower working

    Hi everybody, I'm taking a beginners DC circuitry course and I'm trying to learn on my own time about analog circuitry, something which has fascinated me for a while now. One of the things I'm trying to start with is, as the title states, a voltage follower, since this is (supposed to be) a...

    DC Motor Driver with Limit Circuit Not Working

    Hi Everyone, I have the circuit that controls a dc motor using the L9110s motor driver. It is powered by a 1.5V AAA battery that is stepped up by the TI TPS61027DRCR TO 5V. The goal of this circuit is that when the ITR8307/TR8 Optical IR Sensor sees a white stopping plate, the motor no longer...

    Two inputs of a comparator affect each other (crosstalk? )

    I tested a comparator MAX40025 using the universal board and discrete components. The blue curve is one input which is a short pulse, the pulse width is less than 50ns. The green curve is another input which I set to be a constant voltage(the threshold). This constant voltage came from a...

    Dual 4-20mA signals for a motor

    Hi all, I have the circuit attached as a way to ramp voltage up and down based on a customer's input of dual 4-20mA signals. This will then be turned into a PWM signal to control our motor. Is there a graceful way to handle the 4-20mA signals, as there can't be an instantaneous change. The ramp...

    Help! Is there a way to implement this?

    Hi Guys, noob here. - I have board A and board B. Both have MCUs. - I have a reset signal going from board A to board B. The reset signal is normally HIGH (3.3V) - I have a digital input signal (logic 3.3V) going from board B to board A. - current implementation is two wires going to board A...

    Analog isolator circuit design

    I am studying the schematics of an analog isolator with variable gain (SIM 984 from SRS0, the isolator is bipolar and can handle positive and negative voltages. In the isolation part of the schematics (see picture below), the author uses two voltage references circled in red. Having read the...

    What is a typical usage/function of this bjt transistor pair configuration with one's base and collector connected?

    I have been doing a school project in which I need to figure out the working principle of an existing BJT circuit, and then design a corresponding CMOS circuit of the same function and similar performance. Sort of like converting BJT technology circuits to CMOS circuits. In this picture there's...

    About LTC2668 component signal glitch, sudden short voltage drop before the main pulse

    I have the LTC2668 on my board, I am doing signal verification on it. https://www.analog.com/en/products/ltc2668.html#product-overview I found that all SEL1~8 outputs have weird drop of voltage before the main pulse as shown in the waveform below (this sudden voltage drops always happens at a...

    Instrumentation Amplifier

    Hi, I am hoping I may be able to get some guidance and or ideas in identifying a problem I have with an instrumentation amplifier I have designed. I have simulated the design in Circuit Lab, however I am not getting the expected output as desired during a DC sweep. Essentially, I have a voltage...

    How should I input the comparator?

    Hello, I would like to use comparator MAX40025A from Analog Devices. In the datasheet, it mentions that the input common range is from 1.5V to VDD + 0.1V which I don't understand the meaning. Does it mean both the input should be in this range, or the average of two inputs should be in this...
