Since the derivation of the Wien network by Physicist Max Wien (prior work was the ballistic bridge by J. C. Maxwell) in 1891, this network has been used in many oscillators’ designs. One of the most ...

1. This circuit uses a JFET to bootstrap the cathode of the photodiode. It eliminates the effect of diode resistance and capacitance. This improves bandwidth and reduces noise, but puts a dc voltage ...

Many improvements to the follower circuit have been proposed over the years. The White cathode follower doubles the output current and makes the transfer function more linear. 1 Adding a common-base ...

Editor’s note: I am so happy that there are still companies around that create precision, discrete transistors in our industry; Linear Integrated Systems is one of the best I have encountered. There ...
