The diagram presented below shows a simple circuit of a bird chirping sound generator. All the parts are very common and the transformer is an ordinary type as found in small transistor radios at the output stage Circuit Operation The circuit is basically a feedback oscillator circuit that is configured around a small output transformer. The transistor forms the […]

Simple 12V, 1A SMPS Circuit
In the following content I have explained two simple 12V, 1 Amp switch mode power supply (SMPS) circuit using the very reliable VIPerXX IC from ST microelectronics. With the advent of modern ICs and circuits, the age old iron transformer type of power supply are surely becoming obsolete. Today power supplies are much compact, smaller […]
Simple IC Tester Circuit [Test Digital and Analogue ICs]
The IC Tester is simple to use. You don’t have any switches to configure or lengthy test processes to complete. The universal IC Tester is a static tester, which means this does not dynamically test the IC’s operation. All ICs with up to 20 pins can be tested by this unit. ICs with more than […]
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 […]
5 Simple Preamplifier Circuits Explained
As the name suggests a preamplifier circuit pre-amplifies a very small signal to some specified level that can be further amplified by an attached power amplifier circuit. It basically acts like a buffer stage between the input small signal source and a power amplifier. A preamplifier is used in applications where the input signal is […]
Simple 10 Watt Amplifier Circuits using Transistors
In this post I will comprehensively explain 3 easy to build 10 watt power amplifier circuits, which can be built using discrete parts, such as resistors, transistors, and MOSFETs. The MOSFETs used in these designs are the ordinary IRF540 and IRF9540, that are easily avail;able in the market and are quite inexpensive. True Complementary 10 […]
