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 [...]

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  [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 in public address amplifier is something that should be avoided. The ideal solution is by adjusting the microphone and the speaker position, but it’s not always possible in many situation. Using frequency shifter to change the output frequency 10Hz lower than the input frequency can solve the problem, but it’s too expensive for [...]
