Avalanche Photodiode Driver

An avalanche photodiode (APD) typically requires a high reverse bias voltage to provide gain. An OPA445 can operate on +/-45V supplies but in this circuit we require only one polarity output voltage so the op amp is operated on assymetrical power supply voltages. This is permissable if the op amp common-mode voltage range is not exceeded. (Circuit is created by Neil P. Albaugh)

1kHz 2nd-Order Bessel High-Pass Filter

This filter was designed using TI’s “FilterPro” software. The cutoff frequency and gain can be changed by editing this circuit with new RC values determined by FilterPro. This filter topology is inherently a phase inverting configuration. For a non- inverting low- pass filter use a Sallen- Key type. As shown, this filter is designed for use on a single power supply. For bipolar supplies, Voffset is not needed. Large value resistors– typical in low frequency filters– require a CMOS or JFET input op amp to minimize offset voltage errors.

Speech Compression Amplifier With Linear Gain = 20V/V

Compression amplifiers are frequently used to prevent overmodulation of AM transmitters. This prevents the creation of spurious modulation products called “splatter”. The “soft knee” of the transfer curve also imparts a “vacuum tube- like” sound to audio signals and musical instruments. The brightness of the LEDs indicate the degree of compression.  Bypass capacitors are not shown. (Circuit is created by Neil P. Albaugh,  TI-Tucson)

1 kHz Wien-Bridge Oscillator

The starting pulse is generated by the positive power supply’s startup slope.  If the power supply does not slew fast enough  the oscillator will not start. R3 can be increased to increase the gain and likelihood of starting.  It also increases distortion when  the amplitude as the peaks aproach the power supply rails. (Circuit is created by John Bishop  based on a design by Neil P. Albaugh.)
