Controlling the speed of three phase ac motor is done by controlling the frequency of the power line supply, since the motor is synchronized with the line frequency. Three phase ac motor speed controller is actually nothing more than three phase sine wave power inverter with variable frequency. The three phase power inverter is a [...]

pH Meter Circuit pH meter measures the voltage (the EMF, electromotive force) generated by the pH electrodes (the sensor) to show the hydrogen concentration in pH scale. Basically, a pH meter is nothing more than a pH probe/sensor with high impedance voltmeter that measures the generated voltage at the pH probe. To measure the [...]

Designing passive crossover network for your speaker system is easy, just like what shown in our previous crossover design article, but now we can design many types of crossover even easier using online crossover design tool. The crossover schematic diagram here is an example with a case of 10 kHz high corner frequency, 1250 Hz [...]

This PWM circuit needs only two inverter gates, so you can build up to 3 independent PWM circuit using only one IC chip, since there are at keast 6 inverter gates in one IC package. Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: Please remember that you should connect any input pins of [...]

Unlike the 10-band graphic equalizer in our previous circuit that use a gyrator circuit, this 3-band graphic equalizer circuit uses Baxandall topology, similar with the Baxandall tone control but with additional mid frequency control. The figure below shows the schematic diagram of the circuit. The operational amplifier employ an LF351 IC chip, but [...]

The temperature of a quartz crystal for oscillator should to be kept constant to operate at very stable frequency. This oven temperature controller is suitable for such purpose. Here is the schematic diagram of the temperature control circuit: Although this circuit is small and simple, the design use a PWM output to preserve [...]
