A tuned radio frequency receiver (or TRF receiver) is a form of radio receiver which is made using a number of tuned radio frequency (RF) amplifier stages accompanied by a detector (demodulator) circuit to draw out the audio signal, along with an audio frequency amplifier for amplifying the extracted audio into a loudspeaker. This kind […]

The Perfect FM Radio Circuit using TDA7000 IC
Here we are going to see how we can build a very simple, yet perfect FM radio circuit using one single IC called TDA7000. This IC already has everything inside it, so we do not need to do too much headache wiring around it. First of all, before we build, we must understand what each […]
ISD1820 Voice Recording IC Datasheet, Circuit Diagram
The ISD1820 is a voice IC that lets us record voice from a mic and play it back using simple buttons or microcontroller. We can record between 8 to 20 seconds which depends on how we set it. This IC is used in small voice projects, talking toys, greeting circuits, voice alerts, and more. ISD1820 […]
What is ISD1820 Module? How to Connect and Use
The ISD1820 is a small ready-made module which can record human voice for short time and then play it back. It is based on the ISD1820 IC which is a voice record and playback chip. This module is very popular for DIY projects where we want to make some talking gadget or voice-alarm,or greeting system, […]
Amplifier Short/Overload Protection Circuit – 2 Ideas Discussed
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 […]
Explained: MAX4466 Electret Microphone Amplifier Module with Adjustable Gain
In this post we will be talking about this MAX4466 microphone amplifier module, right? So this is a tiny little circuit that can amplify weak sound signals from an electret condenser microphone (ECM). That means it is going to take a very small electrical signal from the microphone and then boost it up so we […]
