In this post I have explained how to make a 10 step sequentially switching latch circuit which is used for switching ON 10 high power amplifiers sequentially. The idea was requested by Mr. Jerry B. Williams Circuit to Switch ON Power Amplifiers in Sequence Circuit Objectives and Requirements The Design The requested design for a […]

30 Watt Amplifier Circuit using Transistors
The three watt amplifier circuit discussed in the earlier post could be effectively upgraded into a 30 to 40 watt transistorized amplifier circuit, simply by adding a 2N3055 power output stage. The entire procedure for this is explained in the following article. The circuit was requested by Mr. Clifford. The requested specifications can be viewed […]
Digital Theremin Circuit – Make Music with your Hands
Named after its creator, the theremin originated in the Soviet Union in the beginning of 1920’s. This comprised of a container installed with a couple of antennas. It did not have any keyboard to play, no strings like in guitars. Rather, the theremin made use of human body capacitance to manipulate the volume and the […]
FM Signal Booster Circuit with Adjustable Gain
Did you’ve ever had trouble catching or establishing connection with distant FM radio stations which were broadcasting programmes you wanted to listen to? Perhaps you’re aware there are a lot more faraway channels, further than the range of your FM receiver. Of course, you could purchase or construct a stronger FM tuner but, building a tunable FM […]
Power Amplifier Circuit using IC 741 and MOSFET
In this post we study a power amplifier design configured using an ordinary IC 741 and a couple of MOSFETs. An operational amplifier’s output power such as from an IC 741 can be typically enhanced when a complementary emitter follower transistor is coupled at its output. The same could also generally be accomplished using a […]
Ding Dong Bell Circuit that Saves Electricity
This circuit goes beyond being a simple two-tone doorbell. Instead, it utilizes envelope modulation to produce an authentic ‘ding-dong’ chime sound. Additionally, it incorporates a power-saving feature, consuming zero power in standby mode. Circuit Diagram How the Circuit Works When SW1 is pressed, it triggers Q1 to power the remaining circuitry. IC1a serves as a […]
