This circuit can be adjusted most easily with a distortion
analyzer, but a good first approximation can be made by
comparing the output signal with that of a sine wave
generator. The initial slope is adjusted with the potentiometer
R
established by adjusting R
segments that are contributed by these diodes. Because
there is some interaction among these controls, repetition of
the adjustment procedure may be necessary.
Sweeping Generator
Figure 13 shows a sweeping generator. Three CA3140s are
used in this circuit. One CA3140 is used as an integrator, a
second device is used as a hysteresis switch that determines
the starting and stopping points of the sweep. A third
CA3140 is used as a logarithmic shaping network for the log
function. Rates and slopes, as well as sawtooth, triangle,
and logarithmic sweeps are generated by this circuit.
Wideband Output Amplifier
Figure 14 shows a high slew rate, wideband amplifier
suitable for use as a 50Ω transmission line driver. This
circuit, when used in conjunction with the function generator
and sine wave shaper circuits shown in Figures 10 and 12
provides 18V
when terminated in 50Ω. The slew rate required of this
amplifier is 28V/µs (18V
Power Supplies
High input impedance, common mode capability down to the
negative supply and high output drive current capability are
key factors in the design of wide range output voltage
supplies that use a single input voltage to provide a
regulated output voltage that can be adjusted from
essentially 0V to 24V.
Unlike many regulator systems using comparators having a
bipolar transistor input stage, a high impedance reference
voltage divider from a single supply can be used in
connection with the CA3140 (see Figure 15).

OUT
Essentially, the regulators, shown in Figures 16 and 17, are
connected as non inverting power operational amplifiers with a
gain of 3.2. An 8V reference input yields a maximum output
voltage slightly greater than 25V. As a voltage follower, when
the reference input goes to 0V the output will be 0V. Because
the offset voltage is also multiplied by the 3.2 gain factor, a
potentiometer is needed to null the offset voltage.
Series pass transistors with high I
prevent the output voltage from reaching zero because there
is a finite voltage drop (V
CA3140 (see Figure 2). This saturation voltage level may
indeed set the lowest voltage obtainable.
The high impedance presented by Terminal 8 is
advantageous in effecting current limiting. Thus, only a small
signal transistor is required for the current-limit sensing
amplifier. Resistive decoupling is provided for this transistor
to minimize damage to it or the CA3140 in the event of
unusual input or output transients on the supply rail.
Figures 16 and 17, show circuits in which a D2201 high speed
diode is used for the current sensor. This diode was chosen
for its slightly higher forward voltage drop characteristic, thus
giving greater sensitivity. It must be emphasized that heat
sinking of this diode is essential to minimize variation of the
current trip point due to internal heating of the diode. That is,
1A at 1V forward drop represents one watt which can result in
significant regenerative changes in the current trip point as the
diode temperature rises. Placing the small signal reference
amplifier in the proximity of the current sensing diode also
helps minimize the variability in the trip level due to the
negative temperature coefficient of the diode. In spite of those
limitations, the current limiting point can easily be adjusted
over the range from 10mA to 1A with a single adjustment
potentiometer. If the temperature stability of the current
limiting system is a serious consideration, the more usual
current sampling resistor type of circuitry should be employed.
A power Darlington transistor (in a metal can with heatsink),
is used as the series pass element for the conventional
current limiting system, Figure 16, because high power
Darlington dissipation will be encountered at low output
voltage and high currents.
