Alarm Signal Generator IC ZSD100 Datasheet, Application
The ZSD100 is an alarm frequency generator IC which incorporates a frequency swept alarm signal generator designed solely for fixed and vehicle protection alarm systems. Circuit Operation For acquiring the specified alarm sound from this IC, just a single ZSD100, two timing capacitors, an in-expensive TO92 darlington, piezo transducer and coupling transformer is everything that […]
LM10 Op Amp Application Circuits – Works with 1.1 V
The LM10 is a pioneering operational amplifier designed to operate from single ended power inputs with voltages as low as 1.1V, and up to as high as 40V. As can be witnessed in Figure 1, the device consists of an op amp, a precision 200 mV band-gap voltage reference, and a reference amplifier, all encased […]
High Current Transistor TIP36 – Datasheet, Application Note
If you are looking for a power transistor able to support high current upto 25 amps and yet not incorporate the traditional cumbersome TO-3 package, then the TIP36 would certainly impress you. High Current from Smaller Package The package of TIP36 is TO-3P which means the accompanied heatsink would require just a single hole to be drilled and […]
