Discrete Voltage Regulator

It is still possible to build circuits without IC’s and still achieve a high level of performance while integrated circuits have become a staple of all modern circuit designs. A high performance 5 volt voltage regulator built using discrete components that are readily available is shown on circuit diagram below. This circuit not need an IC and only need to […]

Basic Vox Circuit Controls PTT

They were missing a VOX if we are take a look at some of the budget priced HF transceiver. It would certainly be nice to have VOX capability although most of these budget priced transceivers performed admirably. The figure below show us a basic VOX circuit which will perform very well once the VOX level is set correctly. This is […]

IR2156 Electronic Ballast for CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamp)

This is Electronic Ballast for CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamp) circuit using IR2156. The IR2156 contains a high voltage half-bridge gate driver with a state diagram and programmable oscillator to make a full ballast control IC. The feature of IR2156 are programmable preheat time, programmable preheat and run frequencies, programmable over-current protection and programmable dead-time. Protection from filament failures, failure of […]

Audio Speech Compressor

There are many low power SSB rigs and kits don’t have any real speech processor circuitry, although there is a built in speech processor in most modern HF. Speech processing is an important thing, when the SSB is operated at low power to get through the QRM. Speech processing can be done by this circuit. This is a simple and […]

RF AGC with Digital Control

The AGC is used in many system especially communications. This AGC  works at 50Mhz, and the output voltage is set by a digital signal that is needed by Self-calibrating systems such as automatic test equipment which requires the high frequency response. During calibration, the AGC output voltage will be calculated by test equipment to get accuracy requirements. The AGC output […]
