Regulated +15 -15 Volts Symmetric Power Supply From 12 Volt Transformer

circuit schematic

If you need +-15 Volts supply and you have only a standard 12V AC transformer, don’t be hurry to buy a new one with center tap, you can use your old transformer! The schematic diagram of this circuit is shown in the figure below. The voltage before entering the regulator IC [...]

Transformerless, Switch Mode Boost Regulator, A Step-Up Converter

circuit schematic

Using this switch mode regulator circuit, you can get a stable 12 volt output (500mA) although you just have 4,3 – 10V power supply. You can even boost a 3.5V input to 12V if the load draws only 100 mA or less. This switch mode voltage regulator use LTC1266 IC chip from Linear Technology. Here [...]

Transformerless Voltage Booster Circuit: A DC-DC Step-Up Switching Regulator Using Transistors

circuit schematic

A DC-to-DC step-up converter is traditionally implemented using transformer, working by converting the DC voltage to AC Voltage, step-up it using transformer, then rectify and filter the transformer’s output to  get a higher DC voltage. Using a switching method, we can step-up a voltage without a transformer. We just need an inductor which is driven [...]

RS232 (COM) Port Pinout Diagram

circuit schematic

This pin diagram will be  useful when viewing these connectors. Sometimes you hold a soldering iron to the back of the connector, and you don’t remember the numbering of the pin. Here is the pin diagram for your reference: The number of each pins are actually  stamped on both sides of any D-type [...]

Notch Filter: The Circuit’s Diagram and The Design Formula

circuit schematic

Notch filter is known as band-cut filter or band-reject filter. The fuction of this filter is to remove some frequency portion of a signal. The schematic diagram of this filter circuit, a second order notch filter is depicted in the figure below. The formula is actually complicated, but by taking the R3=R4 and [...]

Square Oscillator Using Comparator: The Circuit Schematic Diagram and The Formula

circuit schematic

Using a single supply quad comparator LM339, LM239, LM2901, LM2901V, NCV2901, or MC3302, we can build a square-wave oscillator with simple circuit and formula. Here is the schematic diagram: This circuit is suitable if you need  many square-wave oscillators in one circuit, since the quad packaged comparator provide four comparators in one single  [...]
