Crystal Tester

circuit schematic

A crystal tester circuit is very simple, it contains only oscillator and detector inside. This crystal tester circuit uses one transistor for the oscillator and one transistor for the detector. Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: The mechanism of this crystal tester is very simple. If a good crystal is connected [...]

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 [...]

RJ45 – Video Tutorial

This is a video tutorial about RJ45. This video shows how to punch down an RJ45 keystone jack using a impact tool. The first thing that we gonna do is strip the wire. It is very important because when we connect the wire, it can cause the problem. And then, put the wire on RJ45, [...]

RJ45 Port Pinout

circuit schematic

RJ45 is used to connect Ethernet port on your computer. There are two configuration: straight and cross. Straight RJ45 cables should be used to connect between computer and device such as switch or hub, and cross RJ45 cables should be used in computer-to-computer connection.  Some hub or switch has the capability to detect the cable [...]

Simple Transistor Tester Using 555 IC

circuit schematic

Testing whether a transistor is shorted or open usually done by ohm meter. You test if the base to emitter  or collector permit a current flow in one direction. Here is the circuit’s schematic diagram: The 555 timer ( IC1 ) operate as a 12hz  oscillator. The output of this oscillator (pin 3) [...]
