This sine wave generator is adjustable between 15 Hz to 150 kHz. The circuit is basically a Wien-bridge oscillator, with multiple capacitor selection. Here is the schematic diagram: A stereo 10k potentiometer is used to control the frequency. The dashed line connecting these two potentiometers show that both potentiometer has single axis.

This circuit provide automatic current limiting up to 8.4A. Unlike current limiter that uses only a resistor, this current limiting circuit doesn’t drop the voltage, or at least keep the voltage drop at minimum, until a certain current amount is exceeded. This current amount limit is adjustable from 1.4 A to 8.4A using a [...]

Metal Detector Circuit Topology One of the simplest method of metal detecting is by beat frequency oscillator. Basically, the circuit consist of two balanced oscillator. One oscillator provides the reference signal, and other oscillator is acting as the detector element. The reference oscillator’s frequency is fix, while the detector oscillator is variable depending on [...]

A PLL system can be used to build a frequency-selective frequency multiplier by inserting a frequency divider inside the feedback path between the VCO output and the phase error detector input. Here is the schematic diagram of a low-frequency synthesizer with a programmable three decades divider circuit. The frequency-divider modulus N can vary [...]

If you are a hobbyist or a professional electronic engineer who make many electronic e]experiment, troubleshooting, or testing, providing wide range variable voltage power supply in your lab or workshop will make your life easier. You can build your variable power supply using linear adjustable regulator, but switching technology let you design a very wide [...]

This is a circuit of voltage controlled variable gain amplifier. This circuit uses 2N4391 that will provide a low Rds(on) less than 30 Ohm. This circuit also uses a tee attenuator, that will provide optimum dynamic linear range for attenuation. We can obtain the attenuation greater than 100dB at 10MHz by providing proper RF construction [...]
