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 [...]

This video tutorial is about servo motor that controlled by PWM signal. There should be two electrical input, one for the power and another for the control signal (to command a position). This servo motor is very common that can be found in the radio control cars and airplanes. The position of the servo motor [...]

Speed control for dc motor (electric motor) can be implemented using open loop or closed loop. Closed loop controller, also known as servo controller, or a feedback control, gives the best performance since the loop will maintain the actual speed to follow the reference. In simple application, an open loop controller can be enough if [...]

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 [...]

This is a HI-FI tone control circuit with high Z input. This circuit is used to control HI-FI tone. Here is the circuit: To buffer op-amp operated feedback type tone control circuit, this circuit uses 2N3684 JFET. The 2N3684 JFET is implemented on this circuit because it has low noise characteristics and provides [...]
