Simple Boost Converter Circuit Diagrams using Transistors
In this post I have explained a few very simple boost converter circuits using only BJTs, or transistors. Let’s learn more. What is a Boost Converter A DC boost converter circuit is designed for stepping-up or boosting a small input voltage levels to a desired higher output voltage level, hence the name “boost” converter. Since […]
10 Useful Active Filter Circuit Diagrams Explored
In this post I will comprehensively discuss 10 different types of active filter circuits which can be used for filtering music and audio with the desired levels of bass and treble effects. We also learn about their working, types, characteristics, and practical applications circuits. Contributed By: Ken Madison In audio signal processing circuits, filters are used […]
10 Easy Op-amp Oscillator Circuit Diagrams Explained
In an op amp oscillator circuit, an op amp is configured with a resistor-capacitor feedback loop or a inductor-capacitor feedback loop, which triggers the op amp to go into an oscillating mode, generating a switching ON/OFF pulses from its output pin. The high-gain and wide passband of operational amplifier (op amp) ICs makes it possible […]
