Bubba Oscillator

Bubba oscillator is another example of phase shift oscillator. The Bubba oscillator takes the advantage of quad op-amp package to get 45 degree phase shift for each section. The result is excellent d(phase)/d(t) to get very low frequency drift. Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: Each RC section give 45 degree phase shift. A low impedance quadrature output […]

Linear TEC (Thermo Electric Cooler) Driver

Thermoelectric cooler (TEC) or Peltier cooler is becoming popular because of its robustness and maintenance free characteristic. Here is one example of a linear thermoelectric cooler (TEC) driver circuit. This driver  is capable of delivering ±2A into a TEC. This circuit operates on a single +5V supply and drives the TEC in the most preferred “constant-current” mode. Here is the […]

Colpitts Crystal Oscillator

Crystal Colpitts oscillator can be implemented using a transistor and a parallel mode crystal. Here is the schematic diagram of  the circuit: In this circuit, the crystal acts as an inductance. A large value capacitive divider is used between gate, source, and ground, and a small series capacitor is placed in the crystal circuit. You should choose the components values […]

Switch Mode Lead Acid Battery Charger

More efficient lead acid battery charger can be implemented using switch mode circuit. A switch mode for lead acid battery charger can be constructed using bq24105 battery charger controller. The bq24105 was originally designed to charge single-, two- or three-cell Li-ion and Li-polymer battery packs. Its features doesn’t include the control for lead acid battery charger termination. Here we add […]

Video Switch

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, 2, 3, or 4 cameras […]

450W Power Factor Controller with Universal Input Voltage Range

This power factor controller accept voltage from 90 to 268 Vac,  that’s why we call it power factor controller with universal input, since any standards of mains supply  in almost any country would fall within that range. This power factor controller is capable of handling up to 450W load. Here is the schematic diagram of the power factor controller circuit: […]
