In summary: There is not an exact circuit for this, but you can try using an amplifier like the LM386 or the LM339.

I made a circuit in which the LED terminals have a potential difference of 0.1V,So how can i amply this potential difference to 6V using an external power supply.

I found this circuit : http://www.aldinc.com/pdf/amp_27007.0.pdf

I was wondering if this would amply 0.1V or is it something else ? is this is not the answer then please help me.I have to do this somehow :(

Thanking You,

Is there any circuit available or a circuit diagram perhaps !

I'm not clear on the problem... Are you trying to illuminate an LED with a .1v signal? A schematic of the circuit you made would be helpful.

The circuit you posted seems to be an amplifier that runs on a .1v supply (which is a pretty danged low supply voltage), so probably not what you want.

here is my circuit : http://www.electronicsforu.com/electronicsforu/lab/ad.asp?url=/EFYLinux/circuit/January2008/CI-09_Jan08.pdf&title=Mobile%20Bug

I want to amplify the PD across the LEd terminals to 5V !How do i do it ?

It looks to me like the voltage across the LED is supposed to be around 0.1 V when no cell phone is transmitting nearby. Have you tried the circuit with a cell phone transmitting nearby?

Yes i tried using a mobile phone and measured the output.

I have measured using a multimeter and your absolutely right i am getting exactly 0.1V so how i amplify it ?

Pleas ehelp :)

The CA3130 is not designed for use at cell phone frequencies. I guessed that the input stage was somehow rectifying the cell phone signal and that the DC signal level was what was amplified. However since the front end is using mosfets, I'm not sure how that is being done. If you have a cell phone transmitting nearby and the voltage is not increasing at the output of the opamp, then either a component is defective or the CA3130 is not effective as a detector at cell phone frequencies.

If it were me, I would add an amplifier and detector between the antenna and input to the opamp.

Thanks for that suggestion but can you tell me any amplifier circuit for this ?? A circuit diagram maybe !
 

1. How do I amplify 0.1V to 3V across an LED?

To amplify 0.1V across an LED to 3V, you will need to use a voltage amplifier circuit. This circuit will take the input voltage of 0.1V and increase it to 3V, which can then be applied to the LED terminals.

2. What components are needed to amplify 0.1V to 3V across an LED?

In order to amplify 0.1V to 3V across an LED, you will need a voltage amplifier IC (integrated circuit), capacitors, resistors, and a power supply. The specific values for these components will depend on the particular amplifier circuit you are using.

3. Can I use a simple resistor to amplify 0.1V to 3V across an LED?

No, a simple resistor cannot amplify voltage. A resistor can only limit or control the flow of current in a circuit. To amplify voltage, you will need to use a voltage amplifier circuit.

4. How do I choose the right voltage amplifier circuit for amplifying 0.1V to 3V across an LED?

The right voltage amplifier circuit for amplifying 0.1V to 3V across an LED will depend on factors such as the input voltage, output voltage, and current requirements. You will need to carefully select the appropriate circuit and consult the datasheet for the amplifier IC to ensure it meets your specifications.

5. Are there any safety precautions I should take when amplifying 0.1V to 3V across an LED?

Yes, it is important to take safety precautions when working with any electrical circuit. Make sure to use proper insulation and follow correct wiring techniques. Also, be sure to use a power supply with the appropriate voltage and current ratings for your circuit.
