Three Decades of Quality Through Innovation A GUIDE TO USING FETS FOR SENSOR APPLICATIONS By Ron Quan Linear Integrated Systems • 4042 Clipper Court • Fremont, CA 94538 • Tel: 510 490-9160 • Fax: 510 353-0261 • Email: [email protected] A GUIDE TO USING FETS FOR SENSOR APPLICATIONS many discrete FETs have input capacitances of less than 5 pF. Also, there are few low noise FET input op amps Linear Systems that have equivalent input noise voltages density of less provides a variety of FETs (Field Effect Transistors) than 4 nV/ 퐻푧. However, there are a number of suitable for use in low noise amplifier applications for discrete FETs rated at ≤ 2 nV/ 퐻푧 in terms of equivalent photo diodes, accelerometers, transducers, and other Input noise voltage density. types of sensors. For those op amps that are rated as low noise, normally In particular, low noise JFETs exhibit low input gate the input stages use bipolar transistors that generate currents that are desirable when working with high much greater noise currents at the input terminals than impedance devices at the input or with high value FETs. These noise currents flowing into high impedances feedback resistors (e.g., ≥1MΩ). Operational amplifiers form added (random) noise voltages that are often (op amps) with bipolar transistor input stages have much greater than the equivalent input noise. much higher input noise currents than FETs. One advantage of using discrete FETs is that an op amp In general, many op amps have a combination of higher that is not rated as low noise in terms of input current noise and input capacitance when compared to some can be converted into an amplifier with low input discrete FETs. -

Transducers in Audio ● Transducer: Any mechanism that transforms one form of energy into another form of energy. ○ Physical energy into mechanical energy ○ Physical energy into electrical energy ○ Mechanical energy into electrical energy ○ Vice versa Audio is primarily concerned with turning physical acoustic energy into electrical energy and back again. What are our two most basic audio transducers? scienceaid.net https://socratic.org/questions/what-part-of-the-ear-contains-the-sensory-receptors-for-hearing From Acoustic to Electric Energy First...a short trip into basic electrical theory... Michael Faraday http://www.rigb.org/our-history/michael-faraday Electro-magnetism Faraday’s Law of Induction: Basically, any change in the magnetic field of a coil of wire will cause a voltage to be induced in a wire. Conversely, any change in the voltage on a coil of wire will cause the magnetic field to change. This is called electromagnetism, and the field created is called an electro-magnetic field. Capacitance When two conductors are given an opposite charge, an electric or more specifically a capacitive field is generated around them. When the relationship between the two conductors (for example the distance between them) changes it causes measurable effects on the charges. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/electric/imgele/cap.png Capacitance When two conductors are given an opposite charge, a electric or more specifically a capacitive field is generated around them.

Maximizing Efficiency in Active Loudspeaker Systems
Maximizing Efficiency in Active Loudspeaker Systems Wolfgang Klippel, KLIPPEL GmbH, Dresden, Germany Increasing the efficiency of the electro-acoustical conversion is the key to modern audio devices generating the required sound output with minimum size, weight, cost and energy. There is unused potential for increasing the efficiency of the electro-dynamical transducer by using a nonlinear motor topology, a soft suspension and cultivating the modal resonances in the mechanical and acoustical system. However, transducers optimized for maximum efficiency are more prone to nonlinear and unstable behavior. Nonlinear adaptive control can compensate for the undesired signal distortion, protect the transducer against overload, stabilize the voice coil position and cope with time varying properties of the suspension. The paper discusses the design of modern active systems that combine the new opportunities provided by software algorithms with the optimization of the hardware components in the transducer and power amplifier. reducing power consumption in portable 1 Introduction applications with limited battery capacity. The user of loudspeakers, headphone and other For this discussion, the paper provides new audio devices expects that the audio signal can be definitions of the efficiency to consider the influence reproduced at sufficient amplitude and quality but of the spectral properties of the complex audio prefers products which are smaller, lighter, less cost signals (e.g. music). The paper explains the intensive and provide a longer stand-alone operation difference between efficiency and voltage in personal applications. sensitivity, which is a second important Creating such an audio product requires a characteristic of the transducer required to match the combination of hardware and software components transducer with the power amplifier. -
