Single Supply Instrumentation Amplifier


The OP284 is a low noise dual op amp with a bandwidth of 4MHz and rail-to-rail input/output operation. These properties make it ideal for low supply voltage applications such as in a two op amp instrumentation amplifier as shown in the diagram. The circuit uses the classic two op amp instrumentation topology with four resistors to set the gain. The transfer equation of the circuit is identical to that of a non-inverting amplifier. Resistors R2 and R3 should be closely matched to each other as well as to resistors (R1+P1) and R4 to ensure good common-mode rejection (CMR) performance. It is advisable to use resistor networks for R2 an and R3, because these exhibit the necessary relative tolerance matching for good performance.



Potentiometer P1 is used for optimum d.c. CMR adjustment, and capacitor C1 is used to optimize a.c. CMR. With circuit values as shown, circuit CMR is better than 80 dB over the frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Circuit referred-to-input (RTI) noise in the 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz band is exemplary at 0.45 µVpp. Resistors R5 and R6 protect the inputs of the op amps against over-voltages. Capacitor C2 may be included to limit the bandwidth. Its value should be adjusted depending on the required closed-loop bandwidth of the circuit. The R4-C2 time constant creates a pole at a frequency, f3dB, equal to f3dB=1/2Ï€R4C2. With a value of C2 of 12 pF, the bandwidth is about 500 kHz. The amplifier draws a current of about 2mA.

3 Channels Audio Splitter Amplifier Circuit Diagram using TL084

This is the schematic diagram of 3 channels audio splitter amplifier circuit which built using op-amp IC TL084. The 3 channels amplifier output distribution applies a single TL084.   3 Channels Audio Splitter Amplifier Circuit Diagram The very first step is to capacitive coupling having a p. 1.0 ~ electrolytic capacitor. The entries are railways Vee Y2 or 4.5 V. This enables working with an individual 9V power source. A voltage gain of 10 (1 M?/100 Kohm) is obtained in the first stage, as well as the other three floors are connected as a unity gain voltage followers. Every single output stage drives independently through an amplifier output 50 pF capacitor towards the resistance of 5.1 k ohm load. The response range is flat from 10 Hz to 30 kHz.

Simple Automatic Street Light

There have been lot of problems in street lights. Major problem in some places is every evening a person has to come and switch ON the street light and it should be again switched off in morning. Yes, this may not be the situation in everywhere but exists in many places. So this problem can be overcome by using a simple circuit. Below shown circuit will be automatically switched ON and OFF during night and morning times respectively. Circuit diagram : Simple Automatic street light Circuit Diagram In above circuit R1 can be used to adjust the sensitivity. And the working of the circuit is very simple. The LDR will have very low resistance during day time so the transistor Q1 will be in OFF condition. And during night time the resistance will be very high so automatically the transistor Q1 will be ON. The Q1 is PNP transistor and the emitter of Q1 is given to base of Q2. So the Q2 transistor will be ON only if the transistor Q1 is ON. The TRIAC is used in the circuit to make is circ...

A basic Arduino Solar PV Monitor

I have just recently had solar pv installed, mainly to future proof my energy costs, I do not expect it to be like drilling for oil in my back garden, however the return looks to be encouraging. The install gives you another single unit meter, from this you will see the total amount the panels produce, but that is about it. I wanted to know how much the production was as it was happening, I discovered the light blinks on the front of the meter will flash 1000 times for each kWh of electricity which passes through. The rate of the flashing of the LED tells you how much power is currently passing through the meter. [ ]
