Video Switch

circuit schematic

As the price of security camera going down, installing the camera in the shop, office, or even in home becomes economically feasible. Providing a dedicated monitor for every installed camera is not efficient, and your CRT monitor might suffer phosphor  burn if it used to display static image from only one camera.  To display 1, [...]

Video Limiter

circuit schematic

To avoid exceeding luminance reference level standard or to avoid exceeding the input range of digitizer (ADC), video signal is often needed to be limited. The simple way to do this is by hard limiting the signal in the positive direction (white peak clipping), but this method completely destroy all information contained in the clipped [...]

Video Fader Circuit

circuit schematic

Fading a video signal is not as simple as attenuating the whole signal, since there will be a point where the sync amplitude becomes too small.  Not only the fading effect, but you’ll get also a rolling and tearing picture if you do this.  One solution for this can be as complex as running a [...]

Video Line Driver

circuit schematic

LT1206 is suitable for driving multiple video cables since it has 60MHz bandwidth, 250mA output current capability, and low output impedance. Please keep in mind about unterminated line effect when driving multiple cables. A reflected wave would propagate back to the driver an cause a crosstalk to other lines since the driver output is non [...]

RS232 (COM) Port Pinout Diagram

circuit schematic

This pin diagram will be  useful when viewing these connectors. Sometimes you hold a soldering iron to the back of the connector, and you don’t remember the numbering of the pin. Here is the pin diagram for your reference: The number of each pins are actually  stamped on both sides of any D-type [...]

Notch Filter: The Circuit’s Diagram and The Design Formula

circuit schematic

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 [...]
