Barometer Signal Conditioner

The schematic diagram below show a complete barometric pressure signal conditioner that operates from a single 1.5V battery. We can get the best accuracy and stability if we use bonded strain gauge and capacitive-based transducer,  but they are expensive.  This design introduce a new type of semiconductor transducer that achieves 0.01″ Hg (inches of mercury) uncertainty over time and temperature.  […]

Broadband Random Noise Generator

Random noise source is often needed in testing many type of electronic systems such as filter, audio, or RF communication. The circuit presented here generates an RMS amplitude regulated noise source with selectable bandwidth.  With 1 KHz to 5 MHz decade ranges selectable   bandwidth and 300mV RMS output, this noise generator is suitable for wide range of application. Noise is […]

Capacitance Meter Circuit Using Transistors

This capacitance meter circuit is similar with previous meter circuit, but it uses transistors rather than logic gates. Here is the schematic diagram: You can see the circuit uses pnp transistor, you can use almost any pnp transistors with frequency bandwidth og 100MHz and collecttor current handling capability of 100 mA to replace the transistor if you can find the […]

Audio Signal Injector/Tracer

This testing instrument provide two alternate fuction: signal injector and signal tracer.  This audio signal tracer/injector is very helpful in trouble shooting audio circuits, when you need to test a circuit by injecting a signal and observe the output (by watching the oscilloscope or by hearing the loudspeaker for example), or by tracing some points inside the circuit when an […]

Simple pH Meter

pH Meter Circuit pH meter measures the voltage (the EMF, electromotive force) generated by the pH electrodes (the sensor) to show the hydrogen concentration in pH scale. Basically, a pH meter is nothing more than a pH probe/sensor with high impedance voltmeter that measures the generated voltage at the pH probe. To measure the pH with a standard digital voltmeter […]

Crystal Tester

A crystal tester circuit is very simple, it contains only oscillator and detector inside. This crystal tester circuit uses one transistor for the oscillator and one transistor for the detector. Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: The mechanism of this crystal tester is very simple. If a good crystal is connected to the test lead, the oscillator will […]
