LM3900 Audio Mixer

This audio mixer circuit doesn’t use a low impedance input to mix no ideal  sources, but use many amplifiers to provide  ideal sources before mixed through simple resistors. Ideal source means a sources with low impedances, make the interaction between signals in the output doesn’t affect the input.   Please note that this mixer circuit has high impedance output, so you’ll […]

AM Radio Receiver Circuit Employs FM IC Chip

This AM receiver consists of a TDA7000 single-chip FM receiver (U1) as the main radio component,  and an LM386  chip for low-voltage audio-power amplifier (U2) circuit. The receiving coils are  hand-wound coils (L1 and L2), and a few additional components.  This coils, together with the variable capacitor, is chosen to match the AM frequency. To wind your won coil, L1 […]

53 dB Stereo Preamp for Tape or Phonographs

With the circuit shown in the following schematic diagram, both channels of this stereo preamp is constructed using  RCA CA3052 quad AC amplifier.  this pre-amplifier circuit is featured with tone control (bass – treble). Make a similar circuit to complete the other channel, since the circuit for left and right channel are similar. To be high-fidelity, total harmonic distortion should […]

Strobed Supply Improves Strain Gauge Bridge Efficiency

The following schematic diagram shows a  method to reduce power consumption without sacrificing the bridge signal output level of a strain gauge.  Many situation will be applicable for this strain gauge bridge signal conditioning circuit, where continuous output is not a must. In the long time frame, this circuit will in idle state  for almost all the time, with only […]

Black Light (UV Tube Lamp) Inverter

The voltage boosting in this circuit enable its operation to be powered by 2.5 V rechargeable battery (two cells 1.2V rechargeable batteries),  supplying 400 mA current at 26 V which is needed by the gas arc tube for portable ultraviolet lamp. This inverter circuit has a good efficiency as well, about 80%. Ultraviolet (UV)  light is also known as black […]
