HI-FI Tone Control Circuit (High Z Input)

This is a HI-FI tone control circuit with high Z input. This circuit is used to control HI-FI tone. Here is the circuit: To buffer op-amp operated feedback type tone control circuit, this circuit uses 2N3684 JFET. The 2N3684 JFET is implemented on this circuit because it has low noise characteristics and provides the function of a high input impedance. […]

FET Cascode Video Amplifier

This is a simple  FET Cascode Video Amplifier circuit. This circuit has some features, they are reduction of feedback to almost zero and very low input loading. Here is the circuit: This circuit uses 2N3823 because it has high Yfs and low capacitance. RL and load capacitance limits bandwidth of the amplifier.

Analog Fan Speed Control

The large issue today that caused by more electronic equipment enters the home and the office is noise of fan. to reduce fan noise, a variable speed fan is used because it permits quieter and slower, fan speed when temperature conditions allow. To build a variable speed fan we can use digital control or high-speed/low-speed switches. Digitally controlled fans perform […]

IR-Linked Temperature Sensor

This is a circuit that transmits temperature data over an IR link and it allows the isolation of temperature sensor. It is a good solution of obtaining temperature readings from points at potentials a few tens of volts from ground by linking a temperature probe  only by an IR connection to the readout point. This circuit consist of a temperature […]

Circuit Converts PWM Fan Drive to Linear and Reduces Acoustic Noise

We usually use a fan to manage the temperature, but it produces audible noise at full speed. To reduce this noise we can use this circuit. The first circuit reduces the noise by controlling the cooling-fan speed as a function of temperature. It uses an IC that combines temperature sensing with a PWM output. When the temperature of the processor […]
