3 Phase AC Motor Speed Control

circuit schematic

Controlling the speed of three phase ac motor is done by controlling the frequency of the power line supply,  since the motor is synchronized with the line frequency. Three phase ac motor speed controller is actually nothing more than three phase sine wave power inverter with variable frequency. The three phase power inverter is a [...]

Phase Control Circuit

circuit schematic

A phase control circuit can be used to control the power delivered to an AC load. The phase control circuit control the AC waveform, cutting the cycle to give full cycle, half cycle, zero cycle, or somewhere in between. You can say this circuit is similar to a dimmer circuit, but the switching is synchronized [...]

High Efficiency Switch Mode 3.3V 5A Step-Down Converter

circuit schematic

This switch mode step-down converter has very good efficiency, up to 94% can be obtained. This switch mode regulator uses LTC1266-3.3 controller with external N-Channel power mosfet, and need only a 5uH inductor because it uses high frequency switching. Here is the schematic diagram of this switch mode step down converter circuit: To [...]

USB-RS232 Converter

circuit schematic

Many new computers now only has USB port, and this serial to USB adapter might be the only help for old devices that provides only RS232/COM Port. This serial adapter uses FT232 USB-RS232  converter IC from FTDI (Future Technology Devices International).  The main features of this USB serial adapter chip are: 384 [...]

Wien Bridge Oscillator: The Circuit Schematic Diagram and The Design Formula

circuit schematic

The excellent high input impedance, high slew rate, and high voltage qualities of CA3140 op-amp make it suitable for Wien-bridge sine wave oscillator. The basic circuit for Wien-bridge sine wave oscillator is shown in the figure below (the upper part). You can see the formula in the figure, when R1=R2=R, and C1=C2=C, then the formula [...]

Phase Delay Network for 3D Audio Enhancement

circuit schematic

3D enhancement is needed to create a fully 3-dimensional sound for most stereo multimedia products. Usually, simple phase-delay circuits is used to produce a widening effect on the perceived sound field. However, there is transaural acoustic crosstalk effect. The following figure shows transaural acoustic crosstalk effect and schematic diagram of simple phase-delay circuits : [...]
