Three Cells Produce Regulated 3V – 3.3V with Power Down/Power Saving Mode

This linear voltage regulator circuit provides battery voltage regulation from battery source to power micro controller system. The output can be selected by choosing the right resistor value in the feedback path.  Many today’s micro controllers are featured with power down or power saving mode, and this circuit accommodates this feature by providing low power mode control on its input.

Low-Drift High-Impedance JFET DC Voltmeter

The voltmeter shown in the schematic diagram below has very high impedance. The range selector uses conventional voltage divider resistors, but since the following pre amplifier uses JFET, the divider can be designed using very high resistance series resistors. This DC voltmeter circuit also featured with low drift. This circuit uses a pair JFETs, which is configured in a balanced-bridge […]

Double-Sideband Suppressed-Carrier (DSB-SC) Modulator

When we modulate a carrier signal with amplitude modulation, there will be four frequency components as the result. The first is the modulating signal itself, the second is the frequency carrier, the the latest two are the difference and the sum of the carrier and the modulating signal.  The spectrum of these frequencies can be seen using frequency analyzer.  In […]
