LT1677
TYPICAL APPLICATIO
This 2-wire remote Geophone preamp operates on a
current-loop principle and so has good noise immunity.
Quiescent current is ≈10mA for a VOUT of 2.5V. Excitation
will cause AC currents about this point of ~±4mA for a
VOUT of ~±1V max. The op amp is configured for a voltage
gain of ~107. Components R5 and Q1 convert the voltage
into a current for transmission back to R10, which con-
verts it into a voltage again. The LM334 and 2N3904 are
not temperature compensated so the DC output contains
temperature information.
