Precision Full-Wave Peak Detector: Detect The Envelope of An Audio Signal

circuit schematic

This circuit detect the amplitude of audio signal, suitable for audio level detection that demand for high precision. Amplitude detection or signal envelope detection is usually implemented using a peak detector. An ideal amplitude detector give continuous level at any time because the amplitude of a sine signal (every signal can be seen as sine [...]

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  [...]

Active Crossover Circuit: Split The Audio Signal Before Amplification

circuit schematic

You might be familiar with passive crossover network installed inside your speaker box, consist of inductors and capacitors. The problem with passive crossover network is that they dissipate the audio power, so it’s not environmentally friendly, contributing a little disaster of global warming.  Moreover, the capacitor and the inductor in the passive crossover network contribute [...]

Precision Current Sink

circuit schematic

This a a simple circuit for precision current sink. This circuit uses two kinds of transistor, 2N2219 bipolar transistor and 2N3069 JFET because both of them have inherently high output impedance. Here is the circuit : To provide feedback to the LM101 op amp, this circuit uses R1 as a current sensing resistor. [...]
