This is a protocol translator circuit. This circuit uses the MAX3162, it contains both RS-485 and RS-232 transmitters and receivers. This IC contains wide range of communication devices, that can convert bidirectionally between RS-485 and RS-232 signals. Here is the circuit :
The upper circuit is the translator for point to point application, and the lower [...]

A split-phase data signal consists of a series of binary digits that occur at a periodic rate, as shown in waveform A in the timing chart. The weight of each bit, 0 or 1, is random, but the duration of each bit and, therefore, the periodic bit rate, essentially is constant.
A clock that is synchronized [...]

This FSK demodulator convert the FSK signal to serial digital signal. FSK modulation is used to transmit digital serial data, and we need to demodulate it to get back the digital data at the receiver. Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit:
This demodulator circuit uses 2225/2025 Hz for mark/space coding, and this frequency is [...]

This circuit enables you to connect your camera with very long wire. The circuit is actually a video amplifiers. At the sender part, the amplifier is used to make a stronger signal. This stronger video signal then can be transmitted through the long cables. The signal is transmitted using balanced mode, where two wires are [...]

This constant current constant voltage SMPS can be used to efficiently charge a battery. This circuit gives 7.2V at constant voltage mode, and 600 mA at constant current mode. Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit:
The mechanism is simple, when the load impedance is high, then the output voltage will be constant at 7.2V. [...]

Integration is one of basic signal processing that can be done in analog domain. Using operational amplifier (op-amp), integration operation can be done with very simple circuit with very high accuracy. Here is the schematic diagram of an integrator circuit:
The resistor R2 should have the same value with R1 since R2 is employed to minimize [...]
