DC to DC Converter Circuits using SG3524 [Buck, Boost Designs]
A DC to DC converter is basically a switch-mode power supply, designed to work either as a boost-converter to step-up a low voltage DC to a higher voltage DC, or as a buck-converter to step-down a higher voltage DC to a lower voltage DC. The switched mode conversion ensures that the power transfer in the […]
RF Amplifier Circuits and RF Converters
In this article I have explained a few high frequency RF converter and preamplifier circuit designs which can be used for amplifying or enhancing the reception of an existing RF receiver. All the RF amplifier circuits provided below are intended to be placed near an existing amateur radio receiver or a matching radio set in […]
Simple FET Circuits and Projects
The Field-Effect Transistor or the FET is a 3 terminal semiconductor device which is used for switching high power DC loads through negligible power inputs. The FET comes with some unique features such as a high input impedance (in the megohms) and with almost zero loading on a signal source or the attached preceding stage. […]
How IC LM337 Works: Datasheet, Application Circuits
In this post I will talk about the function of an interesting voltage regulator device: The LM337, which is basically the negative complementary device for the popular LM317 IC. Built with an adjustable 3-terminal negative voltage, this regulator can conveniently supply around 1.5 A with an output voltage range of -1.2 V to -37 V. […]
Electronic Drum Sound Simulator Circuits
In this post we talk about a couple electronic drum sound simulator circuits which can be used for replicating actual drum beat sound electronically, using a few op amps and few other passive electronic components. Using Capacitor as the Sensor Instead of Piezo Conventional electronic drum kits incorporate the use of piezo disc affixed to […]
