LM359 Voltage-Controlled Oscillator

Phase-locked loop is very common in telecommunication, control, and other electronic application. PLL can be used to demodulate FM signal, produce a stable clock signal, or to recover a synchronization signal from noise. Many single chip integrated circuits (IC) are produced for this PLL system, and LM359 is one of them. This PLL is capable to operate up to 5MHz, […]

Shunt Series Pair Wideband Amplifier

This is a Shunt Series Pair Wideband Amplifier circuit. This circuit has four feedback loops, they are two emitters feedback, shunt-shunt feedback and an AC feedback loop(series-shunt). This is a very stable circuit and can be used for wideband amplifiers and low gain. This circuit requires +12 supply that restrict the “headroom” of the second resistor. The emitter of the […]

Single Transistor Blocking Oscillator

Circuit below is circuit of a transistor blocking oscillator. The transformer is phased. This cause any increase in collector current pulls the base up, further increasing the current. The transformer may the the most appropriate but not the most optimum. Any fluctuation in the collector current is fed back and reinforced because the 10k resistor biases the transistor. The base […]

TRIAC Basic Operation

Triode for alternating current,TRIAC, is an electronic component that can control power in two direction in an AC circuit. The figure (a) shows the block construction and schematic symbol of TRIAC. The TRIAC is operated like two SCRs in parallel connection in opposite direction like shown in figure (b). Here is the figure of TRIAC: A TRIAC can be triggered […]

SIDAC Basic Operation

Silicon Diode for Alternating Current, SIDAC, is a multilayer silicon semiconductor switch. This component is triggered by voltage and can be operated as bidirectional swtch. Usually, this SIDAC is used in cheap high voltage power supply or ignition circuits. Figure below shows SIDAC block construction, schematic symbol and geometric construction : The SIDAC has leakage current(Idrm) less than 5 µA […]
