This is a low-voltage, ultra-high-precision monitor featuring a Zero-Drift Instrumentation Amplifier (IA) that provides Rail-to-Rail inputs and outputs. Voltage gain is set by the feedback resistors. Accuracy of this circuit is set by the quality of resistors selected by the user, small-signal range is limited by VOL in single-supply ...
LTC1966 AC Current Measurement
Nov 29th 2001
The LTC1966 is a true RMS-to-DC converter that utilizes an innovative patented DS computational technique. The internal delta-sigma circuitry of the LTC1966 makes it simpler to use, more accurate, lower power and dramatically more flexible than conventional log-antilog RMS-to-DC converters. ...
Simple Bidirectional DC Motor Speed Controller
Feb 13th 2001
The LT1970 is a ±500mA power op amp with precise externally controlled current limiting. Separate control voltages program the sourcing and sinking current limit sense thresholds with 2% accuracy. Output current may be boosted by adding external power transistors. ...
