Discrete 9-12V Microphone Pre-Amplifier

This is a microphone pre-amplifier circuit that use discrete components. The gain of this circuit is 100 and should be enough for most microphones. It is set by the ratio of the 10k resistor to the 100R. As common-emitter amplifiers, This circuit uses two directly coupled transistors. Here is the schematic diagram of circuit: Please note that this circuit has […]

Electric Field Detector with 6 Million Gain Transistor

This is a circuit that can produce 6 million gain. As well as detecting general electric noise, this circuit can be used to detect “mains hum,” the presence of your hand without any direct contact, and detect static electricity.  Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: The mains cable can be located by this circuit by moving it across […]

Simple Discrete Logic Probe

This is simple logic probe circuit. Logic probe is used to determine if a point in a circuit has high or low state when the circuit is in operation.  Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: When the probe is not touching any circuitry, this circuit consumes no current. It can happen because the voltage across the red LED […]

TPS2331 Hot Swap Controller

The load inrush current is limited by the TPS2331. The system also protected by TPS2331 from a load fault in its traditional tole as a hot-swap controller. However, the TPS231 must protect the system against a power supply module fault in an OR-ing circuit. The TPS2331 is required by the former role to trip if excessive current flows into the […]
