RS232 (COM) Port Pinout Diagram

circuit schematic

This pin diagram will be  useful when viewing these connectors. Sometimes you hold a soldering iron to the back of the connector, and you don’t remember the numbering of the pin. Here is the pin diagram for your reference: The number of each pins are actually  stamped on both sides of any D-type [...]

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 [...]

Computer-Controlled 4-20mA Current Loop

circuit schematic

Computer-controlled 4-20mA current loop is useful to control some industrial equipments.  By current loop, transmitting the signal over long distant should be resistant from noise interference. This  computer-controlled 4 – 20mA is designed to operate on a single supply over a range of 3.3V to 30V.  The zero reference of 4 [...]

Notch Filter: The Circuit’s Diagram and The Design Formula

circuit schematic

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 [...]

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 [...]
