Let's call the first Resistor R1, the first capacitor C1, etc. BTW, you can get the same amount of filtering, but faster settling, by making R2=100k and C2=10nF.<p>For the analysis, assume that you have very low ripple on C1 and C2. For analyzing the voltage on C1, we can then say that no current fl...

The 74194 maximum clock frequency is a minimum of 25MHz (read the datasheet again). It will run at any arbitrarily low frequency. You should be able to use it to accomplish what you want.

Yeah, I think we pretty much beat this to death. I am posting the circuit I said I had that uses a diff amp of a different sort, along with waveforms. Note that the uotput is inverted relative to the input. http://s02.imagehost.org/0525/0-2_amp_waves.GIF http://s02.imagehost.org/0525/0-2_amp_current...

Fred, I agree with all that. I just don't understand completely what Yigiter is trying to do (and I'm not sure he does). In this thread, I was guessing that he was trying to charge a car battery, and he wanted to use the car GND as GND for his controller (not to imply that he couldn't use +12V inste...

Fred, I could sim that, and I'm sure it will look fine, but here's a quote from Yigiter: <blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><hr>i think i can not do this. because my grounded load is a "car battery" so i can't connect the posit...

Fred, can you post a complete schematic? I tried to duplicate your schematic, and I still get an oscillator, but not with the characteristics you mentioned. I'm not too surprised, because the oscillation frequency will wind up being a function of The Ft of the transistors, the beta of the transistor...

If you wind up with a lemon, make lemonade. <p>A cursory look at MJ2955 vs MJE2955 datasheets looks like the differences are in package and power dissipation.

I don't like to be critical, but I also hate to see a guy burn up his parts. There are several problems there:<p>1. The loop gain is way too high (with no compensation), which will cause the circuit to oscillate. 2. There is no current limiting through Q1 and Q2.<p>I can post a circuit that uses a h...
