Project.: +10.00 volt reference source
I had a need for a calibration source that would give me a +10.00 volt DC RMS output with pretty low noise output, as luck would have it... my scrap board supply had a few old boards with a National Semiconductors LM613 device and based on the datasheet I'd be able to obtain an Ultra Low Noise +10.00V Reference output by simply using one of the op- ( Read more... ) -

I mean especially considering the low parts count ( Read more... ) -
