Hi,

I have the schema. When the voltage opens diode resistor R4 is connected in parallel to R2 and amplification is changed.

But diode is temperature dependent. How can I cancel this temperature dependence?

Thank!

 

If you bias the other input of the OP amp with a diode to earth with some current flowing through(1mA?) it and readjust the resistors on the other diodes. Both diodes should then drop the magic 2.5mV/deg so the effects on the op amp can be minimised.

The solution will also affect output zero, adding a temperature dependant offset. Generally, a compensation diode is the right way. But the shown cicruit doesn't allow to simply add a compensation diode. A straightforward deign approach would be to specify the intended characteristic and required accuracy, and choose an appropriate circuit. For an exact temperature compensated function network, you need an active OP circuit for each segment of the characteristic.

Thank, I tried it, but without success, may be something was wrong, I will try it again.

Thank. OK, I thought so, but I try to look for simple solution.

This to do :) :



- when the diode is open, the amplification is changed.
 

Basically, a circuit like this:



The current bias transistor that feeds the reference diode should be made as low as acceptable, the other resistors have to be calculated for correct threshold and output offset.
 
Ouu, thank :) I will try it............

.............. after some time........ OK, thank, it is good inspiration ;-)
