In the field of audio amplifiers OCL stands for Output Capacitor-Less Amplifier design. How it Works In this OCL type of amplifier topology or configuration, the power output stage is directly coupled to its preceding driver stage without coupling capacitors. The following figure shows a typical OCL amplifier output stage, as can be seen, the […]

Convert Audio Amplifier into Pure Sinewave Inverter
If you are not too keen in understanding the deep technical aspects of a true sine wave power inverter, yet want to build it within a couple of hours, then this article will help you to accomplish it using an audio power amplifier and some DC motors. Here we’ll how to convert audio amplifiers into […]
Soft-Start Power Supply for Amplifier Loudspeakers
The proposed slow-start power supply circuit is specially designed for power amplifiers to ensure that the loudspeaker connected with the amplifier do not generate the loud and unwanted “thump” sound during power switch ON. This also implies that the power supply will safeguard or protect the loudspeaker from the sudden inrush current transient from the […]
Simple Hum Filter Circuit for Amplifiers
The following post discusses a simple hum filter circuit which can be installed between an audio input source and a power amplifier, so that any possible mains hum frequency within the audio signal is blocked and only the clean audio frequency is allowed to go through. Introduction As the name suggests, hum noise is in […]
IC 555 Astable Multivibrator Circuits
The IC 555 astable multivibrator is a configuration where the IC 555 output continuously switches between an ON state and an OFF state at a given frequency, determined by its RC timing components. Since in this configuration, the output of the IC 555 is never in a stable state, it is called an astable multivibrator. […]
LED Strip Light Dimmer Controller Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple IC 555 based PWM controller circuit which may be used for controlling the intensity of a specified LED bank or an 12V LED strip light. The idea was requested by Mr. Rajdeep. Technical Specifications Fantastic blog you have got. I learnt many things from your blog. I […]
