3 Frequency to Voltage Converter Circuits Explained
As the name suggests frequency to voltage converters are devices that convert a varying frequency input into a correspondingly varying output voltage levels. Here we study three easy yet advanced designs using IC 4151, IC VFC32 and IC LM2907. 1) Using IC 4151 This frequency voltage converter circuit using IC 4151 is characterized by its […]
Simple Frequency Meter Circuits – Analogue Designs
The following simple analogue frequency meter circuits can be used for measuring frequencies which may be either sine wave or square wave. The input frequency which is to be measured must be at least 25 mV RMS, for optimal detection and measurement. The design facilitates a relatively wide range of frequency measurement, right from 10 […]
5 Digit Frequency Counter Circuit
This digital frequency counter will provide a direct reading of the frequency applied at its input, through a 5 digit common cathode display module. The compact frequency counter can be used for accurately counting the frequency or pulse from any intended source. Main Applications It can be also used for measuring the RPM of a […]
Tuned Radio Frequency (TRF) Receiver Circuits
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 […]
How to Make Dog Barking Preventer Circuit using High Frequency Deterrence
The discussed circuits are designed to discourage dogs from barking in the selected zone by the generation of a synchronized ultrasonic sound waves in response to a few initial barking of a particular dog. The circuits explained below when correctly optimized will produce a high pitched ultra sonic sound each time it senses a dog […]
