Basic Complementary (Push-Pull) Power Amplifier Circuit
This amplifier circuit is very popular audio power amplifier circuit type. We call it a complementary since the final transistors is an NPN-PNP pair, each with the same characteristics. This circuit produce an AB class amplifier, since each transistor works in slightly more than half cycle of the signal. There is overlap area when …[Read More]
Sound-Activated Lamp (Relay/Switch)
This simple circuit shown int the schematic diagram actives the switch using sound. We can use this circuit for various applications, such as automatic (sound-controlled) disco light or car’s LED light show. The Q1 amplify the audio from mic. The R1 is used to adjust the peak of signal to greater than about 0.7 volts, …[Read More]
Compressor circuit provide high gain for low amplitude input and provide low gain for high amplitude input. This action, in effect, produce a nearly constant amplitude even though the input has very high dynamic range (very high amplitude variation from time to time). The action of compression like this is needed in some situation, such …[Read More]
TDA7056 3W BTL Mono Audio Power Amplifier
For mono output amplifier application, TDA7056 IC can be your option. Compact but powerful, this integrated circuit is contained in a 9 pin medium power package. This device is designed for battery fed portable equipments such as mono recorders, radios and television. To attract the market, TDA7056 has many features such as low power consumption. …[Read More]
LM3900 Audio Mixer
This audio mixer circuit doesn’t use a low impedance input to mix no ideal sources, but use many amplifiers to provide ideal sources before mixed through simple resistors. Ideal source means a sources with low impedances, make the interaction between signals in the output doesn’t affect the input. Please note that this mixer circuit has …[Read More]
Discrete Sliding Tone (Frequency Ramp) Doorbell
This doorbell circuit produces a low tone that will slide up to higher frequency. The equivalent total resistance connected between the base of Q1 and ground (Rbg) , and coupling capacitor C1 determines the AF oscillator’s frequency. The resistance (Rbg) is equal to (R2+R1)R3. Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: The R2 is …[Read More]
True Stereo Indicator Detects L-R Signal Difference
This true stereo indicator is different from what we usually find on FM radio receiver, which is usually a pilot tone detector. A stereo broadcast from FM radio station contain pilot tone, but a presence of pilot tone doesn’t necessarily a stereo broadcast signal since a mono FM transmitter ca broadcast pilot tone as well. …[Read More]
