Electrostatic Charge Detector (Electroscope)

circuit schematic

Electroscope is a device that is used to detect electrostatic charges. Operation: To reduce AC noise this circuit uses C1, but it will lower the sensitivity a bit. As a voltage divider we use the MPF102 and R1. The divider’s output will be about 4.5V diving a half-scale reading on M1, a 200-uA [...]

Accelerometer Amplifier

circuit schematic

Precision accelerometers needs inverting mode amplifier since they are usually charge-output  devices. This amplifier convert charges into voltage output. The circuit below is an example of accelerometer with DC servo. The charge from the transducer is converted to a voltage by C1, which should equal the transducer capacitance plus the input capacitance of [...]

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  [...]

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 [...]

Feedback Amplifier Using Transistors

circuit schematic

In designing small signal amplifier circuits, to achieve a specified amplifier gain we usually use opamp amplifier design to ease the setting of the gain. When the gain accuracy is not critical, we can use transistor feedback amplifier as the base of our amplifier design. Here is the schematic diagram of the transistor amplifier: [...]

Baxandall Tone Control Using LM833: The Circuit’s Schematic Diagram and The Formula

circuit schematic

This circuit is similar to our previous tone control circuit, a bass-treble tone control circuit, but here we present the formula for design your tone control’s custom frequency response. Here is the schematic diagram and formula of the tone control circuit: Almost all op-amp type can be used, as long as they have [...]
