Single Chip Theremin Circuit
This schematic diagram show a single chip Theremin circuit. Theremin is an electronic music instrument which sense hand movement to control the tones/frequency. This Theremin circuit uses two separate Colpitts LC oscillators to produce a beat frequency. The frequencies of two Colpitts LC oscillators are mixed and then rectified. This rectification demodulate the mixed signal …[Read More]
22W Amplifier for 12V Power Supply Systems
This is a 22-W Amplifier circuit that is designed for or 12-V DC power supply Systems. There are many application for this circuit, such as in car audio application. In car electrical power supply system, the 12V power supply will be provided by the host vehicle’s battery. The capacitor C3 is used to give ripple …[Read More]
This is an audio effect circuit that give extra oscillation to your guitar, percussive, or semi percussive instruments, you can call it a funk box. This guitar effect circuit is basically a damped oscillator that is set slightly below its critical oscillation point. The oscillator part is constructed by feeding back the output signal through …[Read More]
Audio Power Amplifier for AM Radio
This is an AM radio power amplifier circuit. What is different with other general amplifier is that this circuit has a low-pass filter (passive type), built using R1C1 to limit the input-output frequency response. Additionally, a ferroxcube K5-001-001/3B with 3 turns of wire is used as ferrite bead at output filter. All components should be …[Read More]
555-IC Timed Beeper/Alarm
This is a simple circuit of beeper using 555 timer. This circuit can be employed to energize lights, horn, or other signaling device at any desired interval when the mercury switch is triggered. Since the current handling capability of mercury switch is not so high, an SCR is used to handle current drawn by the …[Read More]
Power Amplifier’s Overload/Clipping Indicator
Clipping is a condition where a signal is truncated by insufficient processing. The cause of clipping can be different for various case, but most of them, especially in power amplifier stage, is because the amplifier is forced to serve out-range of power when the input volume is too high. Detecting severely clipped signal is easy …[Read More]
Audio-Controlled Incandescent Lamp Light Controller
This is a audio-controlled lamp circuit. This circuit requires low voltage input such as pre-amplifiers, tone control, or general audio line level output. It’s also possible to feed the input with signal from small power amplifier output, or high power amplifier witk low volume level. The characteristic of lamp dimming (incandescent lamp) will look like …[Read More]
