Voltage to current converter with floating load
The current in the feedback loop depends on the voltage and Ri.
This applications where we need to pass a constant current through a
load and hold it constant despite any changes in load resistance or load
voltage. When the load does not have to be grounded, we simply place
the load in the feedback loop and control both input and load current from this circuit.

This circuit diagram Figure shows a voltage to current converter in which load resistor RL is
floating (not connected to ground). The input voltage is applied to the
no inverting input terminal and the feedback voltage cross R1 drives the inverting input terminal. This circuit is also called a current series negative feedback amplifier because the feedback voltage across R1 (applied to the inverting terminal) depends on the output current i0 and is in series with the input difference voltage vid.

Simple Pulse train to sinusoid converter
The circuit letsyou convert a serial pulse stream or sinusoidal input to a sinusoidal output at 1/32 the frequency. By varying the frequency of Vrn, you can achieve an output range ofl07:1-from about 100 kH2 to less than 0.01 H2. The output resembles that of a 5-bit d/a converter operating on paralleLdigital data. Counter IC1 generates binary codes that repeatedly scan the range from 00000 to 11111. The output amplifier adds the corresponding XOR gate outputs, Vvv or ground, weighted by the values of input resistors R1 through R4.

The 16 counter codes 00000 to 01111, for instance, pass unchanged to the XOR gate outputs, and cause Vom to step through the half-sinusoidal cycle for maximum amplitude to minimum amplitude. Counter output Q4 becomes high for the next 16 codes, causing the XOR gates to invert the QO through Q3 outputs. As a result, VouT steps through the remaining half cycle from minimum to maximum amplitude. The counter then rolls over and initiates the next cycle. You can change the R1 through R4 values to obtain other VouT waveforms. VDv should be at least 12 V to assure maximum-frequency operation from IC1 to IC2.

Build a LT3582 12 DC 5V to 12V DC Converter
Using LT3582-12 dual channel DC DC converter integrated circuit, manufactured by Linear Technology, can be designed a very simple step up dc converter. This 5 to 12V c converter electronic project provide both positive and negative outputs required in many biasing applications such as active matrix OLED (organic light-emitting diode)displays as well as CCD (charge coupled device) applications.

The LT3582 offer an I2C interface that can dynamically program output voltages, power sequencing and output voltage ramps as the application requires. The LT3582’s positive output voltage can be set between 3.2V and 12.775 in 25mV steps, whereas the negative output can be set between -1.2V and -13.95V in 50mV steps. The LT3582-12 is preconfigured with ±12V output, requiring no future programming.

How to Drive a Relay through an Opto Coupler Circuit
The following post describes how to drive a relay by using an isolated method, or through an opto coupler device.
The question was asked by one of the interested members of this blog, Miss Vineetha.
Before studying the proposed design, lets first understand how an opto coupler works.
An opto-coupler is a device which encapsules an LED and a photo-transistor inside a hermetically sealed, water proof, light proof package in the form of an 8 pin IC (resembling a 555 IC).
The LED is terminated over a couple of pin outs, while the three terminals of the photo-transistor is terminated over the other three assigned pin outs.
The idea is simple, its all about providing an input DC from the source which needs to be isolated to the LED pin outs via a limiting resistor (as we normally do with usual LEDs) and to switch the photo transistor in response to the applied input triggers.
The above action illuminates the internal LED whose light is detected by the photo-transistor causing it to conduct across its relevant pin outs.
The photo-transistor output is normally used for driving the preceding isolated stage, for example a relay driver stage.
As shown in the following circuit diagram, the relay driver may consist a NPN transistor or a PNP transistor.
If its a PNP transistor, the base is coupled at the collector of the photo transistor, alternatively, if a NPN transistor is used in the relay driver, the trigger is received from the emitter of the photo transistor quite like a Darlington paired configuration.
The rest of the operations are self evident.

How to Make a Long Duration Timer Circuit
A timer in electronics is essentially a device which is used for producing time delay intervals for switching a connected load. The time delay is set externally by the user as per the requirement.
A simple timer can be built through many countless options. You can transistors, CMOS gates like NAND gates, NOT gates, linear ICs like 555, 741, 324, or simply more specific type of CMOS IC like the 4060.
All these devices besically generate oscillations which are adjustable right from a few Hz a second to a atomic fraction of a Hz.
Further more these ICs can be integrated together to form more complex timer circuits that may be used for generating very long time intervals.
In this post we see how two different modes of ICs are coupled together to form a long duration timer circuit.
Referring to the circuit diagram.
IC1 is an oscillator counter IC consisting a built in oscillator stage and generates clock pulses with varying periods across its pins 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,9,13,14,15.
The output from pin 3 produces the longest time interval and therefore we select this output for feeding the next stage.
The pot P1 and the capacitor C1 of IC1 can be used for adjusting the time span at it pin 3.
The higher the setting of the above components the longer the period at pin #3.
The next stage consists of decade counter IC 4017 which does nothing but increase the time interval obtained from IC1 to ten folds. It means if the the time interval generated by IC1s pin #3 is 10 hours, the time generated at pin #11 of IC2 would be 10*10 = 100 hours. Similarly if the time generated at pin #3 of IC1 is 6 minutes, would mean a high output from pin#11 of IC1 after 60 minutes or 1 hour.
When power is switched ON, capacitor C2 makes sure that the reset pins of both the ICs are appropriately reset, so that the ICs begin counting from zero rather than from some irrelevant intermediate figure.
As long as the counting progresses, pin #11 of IC2 remains at logic low, such that the relay driver is held switched OFF.
After the set timing lapses, pin#11 of IC2 goes high activating the transistor/relay stage and the subsequent load connected with the relay contacts.
The diode D1 ensures that the output from pin#11 of IC2 locks the counting of IC1 by providing a feed back latch signal at its pin #11.
Thus the whole timer latches until the timer is switched OFF and restarted again for repeating the entire process.
