Introduction

This collection of circuits was worked out between June 1991 and July of 1994. Most were designed at customer request or are derivatives of such efforts. All represent substantial effort and, as such, are disseminated here for wider study and (hopefully) use.¹ The examples are roughly arranged in categories including power conversion, transducer signal conditioning, amplifiers and signal generators. As always, reader comment and questions concerning variants of the circuits shown may be addressed directly to the author.
