A sine wave generator is actually a sine wave oscillator circuit which generates an exponentially rising and falling sinusoidal waveform. The 9 simple sine wave generator circuits presented in the following article are easy to build, since they incorporate a small number of ordinary electronic components, and can be used for generating an exponentially varying […]

IC 555 Astable Multivibrator Circuits
The IC 555 astable multivibrator is a configuration where the IC 555 output continuously switches between an ON state and an OFF state at a given frequency, determined by its RC timing components. Since in this configuration, the output of the IC 555 is never in a stable state, it is called an astable multivibrator. […]
Simple Tone Control Circuits
Tone control circuits are basically filter circuits which are used to filter audio frequency signals so that only the desired range of frequencies are allowed to pass to the amplifier and the loudspeakers. This enables the listener to customize the music output with either a high level of low frequency content through bass boost, or […]
Simple LED Circuits
In this post I have explained how to build a few interesting LED circuits, and also learn how to connect LEDs correctly in a circuit. LED stands for Light Emitting Diode, which is actually a semiconductor diode which has the property of emitting light, when current is passed through it in the right direction, or […]
Simple Diode Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained how to use rectifier diodes for building some practical and useful electronic circuits. A diode is the most basic semiconductor electronic component, which is built with a single pn semiconductor junction. It has only two terminals, which are referred to as the anode and the cathode. Diodes can be […]
IC 741 Power Supply Circuits
In this post I have explained how to make simple yet fully stabilized and regulated, variable power supply circuits using the IC 741 op amp. Three versions of the 741 power supplies are I have explained below: Simple Variable IC 741 Power Supply The first figure below exhibits a IC 741 based simple variable voltage […]
