Single Gate Relaxation Oscillator

Below is a relaxation oscillator circuit using a 74HC14, an inverter with a Schmitt trigger input. It’s mean that the transition point for an increasing input is higher in voltage than the transition point for a decreasing input. The difference is called the “hysteresis.” Such an input is very useful for a slowly-varying inout or one with noise. The opposite […]

Varactor Test (Experiment) Circuit

A varactor is also known as a varicap or a variable capacitance diode. An electrically controllable capacitance is provided by this varactor which can be used in tuned circuits. What makes it’s advantageous in many application are the small size and inexpensive. If compared to a manually controlled variable capacitor, this varactor has disadvantages such as lower Q, nonlinearity, lower […]

Sallen and Key Lowpass Filter

This a Sallen and Key Lowpass Filter circuit. This circuit is a second-order active filter. This circuit can be changed to highpass filter by interchanging capacitors and resistors. This circuit is featured with buffer. The buffer of this circuit is op-amp which configured in inverting configuration. This circuit is stable, since this circuit has positive feedback and never overcomes the […]

Complement Phase Inverter with Single Transistor

This is a complement phase inverter circuit. Sometimes this circuit called a paraphase amplifier circuit. This circuit has two output signals that is have sufficient “headroom” because this circuit is biased. The transistor will be saturated when the collector decreases, the emitter voltage increases and set the limit. Here is the circuit: This circuit can produces a peak to peak […]

Voltage Multiplier with Diodes and Capacitors

This is a voltage multiplier circuit. This circuit uses a doubler principle to multiply the voltage.  This circuit has some advantages like low current supply, attractive high voltage that is needed for photomultipliers and cathode-ray tubes. Besides that, this circuit is inexpensive. This principle is also used in the Cockroft-Walton accelerator for charged particles the Cockroft-Walton accelerator for charged particles […]
