Darlington Transistor Pair Logic Probe

Ideally, any testing equipment will not draw any current from the device under test. This ideal condition can be approximated by  designing a testing device with a very high input impedance for negligible loading, and this Darlington logic probe circuit could be one of this. This circuit uses two transistor in Darlington configuration. The connection of transistor will give very […]

LM10 Negative Regulator

It is possible to build a negative regulator using LM10 comparator and voltage reference IC. A transistor is employed to shift the reference current, increasing the minimum operating voltage to approximately 1.8V. The transistor should has high gain for better thermal stability, for example, gain = 100 will cause 1% drift over -55 to 125 °C temperature range. The gain […]

LM10 Shunt Regulator

Shunt regulator is equivalent with zener diode regulator, where you can connect the circuit in series with a resistor and tap the output at the junction. With LM10, we can build more stable regulator (compared to zener diode version). Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: The nominal voltage of the circuit is the internal voltage reference multiplied by […]
