To know someone is lying or not we can use lie detector. This is a simple lie detector that can be made in minutes. It works to detect the someone who telling lie but it is not as sophisticated as the ones the professionals use. Here is the schematic diagram of this circuit: [...]

Fast peak detector requires special amplifier features. The output stage must have high slew rate to keep up with the intermediate stages of the amplifier. This condition causes either a long overload or DC accuracy errors. The amplifier must deliver large currents into the capacitive load of the detector to maintain a high slew rate [...]

The circuit below is a schematic diagram of a fast pulse detector. At 100 ns or wider pulse width, the detection should be error free. At 60 ns pulse width, the detection error should be under 10%. This circuit should be used to detect at least 100 ns wide pulse to ensure an [...]

This circuit is similar to peak detector, but the the output won’t immediatelly follow the input peaking. Because the output follow the input peak slowly, averaging effect will be seen at the output. In the figure below you can see the circuit’s schematic diagram. Use 1% resistor for R1, R2, R3, and R4, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
