Low Noise High Voltage Power The OP07 is a low offset 75uV opamp, here it is used to amplify the output of a Thermocouple, the gain of this
Supply for Photodetector Biassing stage is high. The zeners are to protect any high voltage at input zapping the opamp.

About Schematics of delabs

This is one of the earliest Schematic Archives

on the Web. It was in the form of pdf files in
the late 90s. This archive is based on my
own Instrumentation Designs and Generic
Basic Designs too for education. Only a part
of my designs were made into PNG files.
Later i implemented an Image Scroller for
large circuits in early 2000 using
DynamicDrive ideas. Use this for learning
and understanding, not for replicating online
or offline.

The Resistor R6 limits the current. The zeners should be low leakage or use clamping pull-up and pull-down
diodes to +5 and -5 respectively.

The RC low-pass filter formed by R6 and C2 reduce the mains hum or 50 Hz pickup of long thermocouple cables
laid close to high current heater wiring. R1 is a offset null use or add if required. R11 is gain control of OP07.
The TL072 is a FET input opamp used here as a summing amp.

Adding one more inverting amp with some gain to the output of this circuit can give you a 1-5V suitable for ADC
or PC analog I/O cards. C1 also serves to filter, it is an integrator here. It suppresses EMI and RFI from motors,
contacters etc., R13 sets an output value for 0mV input.

Can we use "K Type" Thermocouple with this circuit ?

Any Thermocouple except Pt-Pt/Rh(platinum, platinum-rhodium) ? , cause these need greater gain
Product Design as mV is very low. One more thing, this circuit cannot make the output linear. You have to linearize
