Ideas for Design: Vol. 2, No. 7 (.PDF Download)

The three classic Idea for Design articles in this grouping delve into distinctly different aspects of electronic design. The first article shows how to drive a 150-V piezoelectric motor using a basic op amp and discrete components. The second article explains how functional models based on the LTSpice simulator improve the modeling of diacs and triacs versus table-based models. And the third article reveals the way an accelerated program and simple circuit enables a PIC MCU to linearize a thermistor, as well as determine and display temperature from its measured resistance with high accuracy.
