Audio and Amplifier Projects

The IC LM386 is a 8-pin tiny power amplifier chip, specially made for operating under relatively low voltage parameters, yet provide considerable amplification. IC LM386 amplifier circuit becomes suitable for applying in small low power audio gadgets like in FM radios, door bells, telephones etc. Let’s begin the IC LM386 amplifier explanation by studying its absolute maximum ratings […]

This is probably the simplest radio receiver circuit that one could ever imagine of making. The circuit is so simple that it could be finished assembling within a few minutes and you are already listening your favorite programs over it. Introduction What are the fundamental criteria associated with radio reception? An antenna stage, a band […]

In the previous post I explained a piezo transducer element and learned how to use it with electronic circuits. In this article we will see how a piezo tranducer can be driven or operated using a simple circuit. As discussed earlier a piezo transducer basically requires a frequency to vibrate and reproduce the required sound. […]

No complex wiring, no costly MOSFETS and no cumbersome heatsinks, yet a powerful 200+200 watt stereo amplifier circuit, which can be built within hours using just a couple ICs, right in your home. Yes we are discussing the state-of-the-art thick film hybrid IC STK4050II, by SANYO.The IC is specifically designed for amplifying music at an […]

A very simple 2 watt audio amplifier circuit has been presented here which can be constructed by all new electronic hobbyists for amplifying small signal frequencies and for other similar experiments. Circuit Operation

Due to some reason if the loudspeaker of a power amplifier gets shorted, that may lead to a fatal damage to the amplifier component. To prevent this an amplifier short circuit protector circuit can be very useful. In the following post I have explained 2 simple amplifier short circuit or overload protection circuits for safeguarding […]
