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 [...]

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  [...]

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 [...]

This circuit is similar with our previous dimmer circuit, but the gate control is full-wave rectified using diode bridge. This circuit can be used to replace electric switch for your incandescent lamp, brushed motor, soldering iron or heater. Here is the schematic diagram of the dimmer switch: Please note that his dimmer switch [...]

The simple low-pass filter is shown in Figure below. The filter has a 20dB/decade roll-off after its corner frequency fc. Its low-pass frequency gain (f->0) is defined by R3/R1. This allows low-frequency gains other than unity to be obtained.  R2 should be chosen equal to the parallel combination of R1 and R3 to minimize error [...]

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 [...]
