I some cases, a differential input is needed for voltage measurement. Using the only one operational amplifier, you can build an adapter to provide a floating input for your ground-referenced voltmeter. Use 1% tolerance metal film resistor for R1 and R2. Adjust VR1 to give zero voltage output when the input probe is shorted. You can use voltage supply +Ub […]

You might think that hum noise is produced by electronic device with improper design, yes you’re right. And you might choose to solve the trouble maker, the source. You begin to check the grounding, the cabling, casing, and many more things you can do to eliminate the hum heard from your amplifier. You might put yourself into a trouble if […]

In application that demand for high current, Nicad (NiCd) rechargeable battery still has the unbeatable performance compared to NiMH and Lithium battery. The charger circuit here is smart in the way it handle the wrong polarity of the battery placement. The core of this battery charger circuit is the Q2, configured a constant current source for the battery. LED D3 […]

Sustain effect in electric guitar is similar with compressor effect. The purpose of this effect is to make the note last longer when the string is plucked. The mechanism is actually work by controlling an amplifier gain, where the gain is automatically increased when the note fade out, therefore the note will be sustained to be heard until the actual […]

TDA2003 is my favorite audio amplifier integrated circuit chip in 10 Watt class. All you need is just adding few passive components and your amplifier will be ready. You can even amplify ultrasonic range if you wish to abuse its usage, just to convince you that this chip is more than enough to handle any range of audio signal. Although […]

LM386 is one of my favorite small audio amplifier integrated circuit chip. The LM386 is a power amplifier designed for use in low voltage consumer applications. The inputs are ground referenced while the output automatically biases to one-half the supply voltage. The gain is internally set to 20 to keep external part count low, but the addition of an external […]
