    This paper presents a simple method based on sinusoidal-amplitude detector for realizing the resolver-signal demodulator. The proposed demodulator consists of two full-wave rectifiers, two ±unity-gain amplifiers, and two sinusoidal-amplitude detectors with control switches. Two output voltages are proportional to sine and cosine envelopes of resolver-shaft angle without low-pass filter. Experimental results demonstrating characteristic of the proposed circuit are included. ©ICROS.

    In this paper, an enhanced sinusoidal-amplitude detector suitable for fast response applications is proposed. Implementation method based on commercially available devices employs a novel control signal generator to improve operation speed of previously reported sinusoidal amplitude detector. The control signal generator used consists of a time-delay circuit, AND logic gate, and three comparators. The enhanced amplitude detector provides faster amplitude detection as well as smaller operation error for amplitude input changes. Experimental results verify a good agreement with theoretical expectation. © 2013 ICIC International.

    Four-quadrant analogue multiplier using operational amplifier
    A method to realise a four-quadrant analogue multiplier using general-purpose operational amplifiers (opamps) as only the active elements is described in this article. The realisation method is based on the quarter-square technique, which utilises the inherent square-law characteristic of class AB output stage of the opamp. The multiplier can be achieved from the proposed structure with using either bipolar or complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) opamps. The operation principle of the proposed multiplier has been confirmed by PSPICE analogue simulation program. Simulation results reveal that the principle of proposed scheme provides an adequate performance for a fourquadrant analogue multiplier. Experimental implementations of the proposed multiplier using bipolar and CMOS opamps are performed to verify the circuit performances. Measured results of the experimental proposed schemes based on the use of bipolar and CMOS opamps with supply voltage ±2.4 V show the worst-case relative errors of 0.32% and 0.47%, and the total harmonic distortions of 0.47% and 0.98%, respectively. © 2011 Taylor & Francis.

    In this paper presents a power monitoring circuit for battery energy management system using operational amplifiers. The proposed scheme consists of a current sensing circuit with voltage output and an analog multiplier. The voltage output of current sensing circuit is directly proportional to load current. The multiplying result of the load current in the form of voltage signal and the load voltage becomes the load power in term of output voltage of analog multiplier. The configuration of the proposed power monitoring circuit is simple and economically attractive. Simulation and experimental results confirming the performance of the proposed circuit are agreed with the expected values. ©ICROS.

    Simple LVDT signal to DC converter
    A simple technique to produce a linear signal from a displacement transducer, linear variable differential transformer (LVDT), is introduced in this paper. The two-quadrant divider is used to precede the ratio of a different and sum of the two winding signals from the LVDT instead of a four-quadrant divider of a recent approach. The two- quadrant divider is obtained by an operational transcondutance amplifier (OTA) in the form of a voltage-tocurrent converter. The signal from the divider is held by the sample and hold circuit (SHC) controlled by the peak-amplitude finder. As a result, the held signal is achieved without using a low-pass filter. The temperature effect of both OTA and LVDT are compensated. The merit of the proposed technique is that the circuit requires without the low-pass filter. Therefore, the fast response is obtained. The performance of the proposed scheme is confirmed by the experimental results using commercial devices.

    Accurate LVDT signal converter
    A novel technique to implement a signal converter for an inductive displacement transducer, a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT), is proposed in this paper. The technique is based on the use of the proposed peak-amplitude finder and the zero-order sample and hold circuit (ZSH) instead of the synchronous demodulator used in traditional approach. The advantage of this technique is that the phase shift due to the dominant pole of the low-pass filter used in the traditional synchronous demodulator is avoided. Therefore, the fast response time of the proposed LVDT signal converter is achieved. The core displacement signal, which is varied in proportion to the position of the moving core of the LVDT, is accurately extracted to directcurrent (DC) voltage signal. The reference signal used to generate the control signal for the ZSH is directly provided by the output signal of the LVDT to prevent the phase shift caused by the LVDT structure. Performances of the proposed technique are discussed in detail and confirmed by the experimental demonstration using commercial devices. The purpose of the proposed technique is emphasized in terms of high accuracy, fast response, simple configuration and low cost.
