  Micropower Circuits for Signal Conditioning
  Jim Williams
  Low power operation of electronic apparatus has become
  increasingly desirable. Medical, remote data acquisition,
  power monitoring and other applications are good candidates for battery driven, low power operation. Micropower
  analog circuits for transducer-based signal conditioning
  present a special class of problems. Although micropower
  ICs are available, the interconnection of these devices to
  form a functioning micropower circuit requires care. (See
  Box Sections, “Some Guidelines for Micropower Design
  and an Example” and “Parasitic Effects of Test Equipment
  on Micropower Circuits.”) In particular, trade-offs between
  signal levels and power dissipation become painful when
  performance in the 10-bit to 12-bit area is desirable. Additionally, many transducers and analog signals produce +V inherently small outputs, making micropower requirements complicate an already difficult situation. Despite the
  problems, design of such circuits is possible by combining
  high performance micropower ICs with appropriate circuit
  techniques.

  Some Thoughts on DC/DC Converters
  Jim Williams and Brian Huffman
  INTRODUCTION
  Many systems require that the primary source of DC power
  be converted to other voltages. Battery driven circuitry is
  an obvious candidate. The 6V or 12V cell in a laptop computer must be converted to different potentials needed for
  memory, disc drives, display and operating logic. In theory,
  AC line powered systems should not need DC/DC converters
  because the implied power transformer can be equipped
  with multiple secondaries. In practice, economics, noise
  requirements, supply bus distribution problems and other
  constraints often make DC/DC conversion preferable. A
  common example is logic dominated, 5V powered systems
  utilizing В±15V driven analog components.
  The range of applications for DC/DC converters is large,
  with many variations. Interest in converters is commensurately quite high. Increased use of single supply powered
  systems, stiffening performance requirements and battery
  operation have increased converter usage.
  Historically, efficiency and size have received heavy emphasis. In fact, these parameters can be significant, but
  often are of secondary importance. A possible reason
  behind the continued and overwhelming attention to size …

  Switching regulators are of universal interest. Linear
  Technology has made a major effort to address this topic.
  A catalog of circuits has been compiled so that a design
  engineer can swiftly determine which converter type is
  best. This catalog serves as a visual index to be browsed
  through for a specific or general interest. The catalog is organized so that converter topologies can
  be easily found. There are 12 basic circuit categories:
  Battery, Boost, Buck, Buck-Boost, Flyback, Forward, High
  Voltage, Multioutput, Off Line, Preregulator, Switched
  Capacitor and Telecom. Additional circuit information can
  be located in the references listed in the index. The

  A Monolithic Switching Regulator with 100ВµV Output Noise
  “Silence is the perfectest herald of joy .”
  Jim Williams INTRODUCTION
  Size, output flexibility and efficiency advantages have
  made switching regulators common in electronic apparatus. The continued emphasis on these attributes has
  resulted in circuitry with 95% efficiency that requires
  minimal board area. Although these advantages are welcome, they necessitate compromising other parameters. back to the driving source (“reflected” noise) and it is
  radiated. The multiple transmission paths combine with
  the high frequency content to make noise suppression
  difficult. Unconscionable amounts of bypass capacitors,
  ferrite beads, shields, Mu-metal and aspirin have been
  expended in attempts to ameliorate noise-induced effects. Switching Regulator “Noise”
  Something commonly referred to as “noise” is a primary
  concern. The switched mode power delivery that permits
  the aforementioned advantages also creates wideband
  harmonic energy. This undesirable energy appears as
  radiated and conducted components commonly labeled
  as “noise.” Actually, switching regulator output “noise” is
  not really noise at all, but coherent, high frequency residue
  directly related to the regulatorвЂ^TMs switching.1 Figure 1
  shows typical switching regulator output noise. Two distinct characteristics are present. The slow, ramping output …

  Current Sources for Fiber Optic Lasers: A Compendium of Pleasant Current Events &mdash AN90
  PDF, 409 Kb, File published: Apr 1, 2002
  A large group of fiber optic lasers are powered by DC current. Laser drive is supplied by a current source with modulation added to the signal. The current source, although conceptually simple, constitutes an extraordinarily tricky design problem. There are a number of practical requirements for a fiber optic current source and failure to consider them can cause laser and/or optical component destruction. This application note describes ten laser current source circuits with a range of capabilities. High and low current types are presented, along with designs for grounded anode, cathode or floating operation. Each circuit also includes laser protection features. Appended sections cover laser load simulation and current source noise measurement techniques.

  Current Sources for Fiber Optic Lasers
  A Compendium of Pleasant Current Events
  Jim Williams, Linear Technology Corporation
  INTRODUCTION
  A large group of fiber optic lasers are powered by DC
  current. Laser drive is supplied by a current source with
  modulation added further along the signal path. The
  current source, although conceptually simple, constitutes
  an extraordinarily tricky design problem. There are a
  number of practical requirements for a fiber optic current
  source and failure to consider them can cause laser and/
  or optical component destruction. Protection features must be included to prevent laser and
  optical component damage. The laser, an expensive and
  delicate device, must be protected under all conditions,
  including supply ramp up and down, improper control
  input commands, open or intermittent load connections
  and “hot plugging.”
  Detailed Discussion of Performance Issues Design Criteria for Fiber Optic Laser Current Sources It is useful to expand on the above cursory discussion to
  clarify design goals. As such, each previously called out
  issue is treated in greater detail below. Figure 1 shows a conceptual laser current source. Inputs
  include a current output programming port, an output …

  DESIGN IDEAS Switched Capacitor Voltage Regulator
  Provides Current Gain
  by Jeff Witt
  A switched capacitor voltage
  inverter is normally used to generate
  a negative supply voltage from a positive input supply. The negative supply
  current is equal in magnitude to the
  current drawn from the input. This
  design idea describes two circuits that
  use an inverter to double the current
  between the input and output,
  increasing efficiency and eliminating
  heat dissipation problems. V VIN VIN

  a current gain of 2. charging C1 into the output. The current delivered to the output is
  continuous and equal to twice the
  average input current. Because the
  output current is continuous, the
  output voltage ripple is low. Note that
  C1 and COUT do not need to be
  matched, as their voltages are equalized on each cycle. …
