Linear Power Supply

A diode bridge, a step down transformer a linear regulator(U1) and some filtering capacitors can be used to build a Linear power supply. This circuit has some advantages such as this circuit has high output current and can give multiple output voltages easily. However it has some disadvantages like this is high standby losses, expensive circuit, and bulky size of […]

Capacitive AC-DC Adapter

Capacitive power supply is one variation of uninsulated AC to DC adapter. This circuit consist of resistor, capacitors, diode and zener diode. This circuit will allow  the constant voltage to across C1. The input current’s average should be equal to the average value of the output current, to maintain a constant voltage that across C1. Diode D2 is used to […]

Micropower Single-Supply Instrumentation Amplifier

A schematic diagram of a micropower single-supply instrumentation amplifier circuit is shown below. This circuit only need 15µA of current and can give over 110dB of common rejection. A single amplifier can provide differential to single-ended conversion with excellent common mode-rejection because feedback is to trim pins rather than to the inverting pin. Here is the schematic diagram of the […]
