2 Transistor Mini FM Transmitter

This is a mini FM transmitter built and powered using 2 transistors, designed by Tony van Roon. This small transmitter is simple to build and its transmissions could be picked up on any common FM radio. It possesses a range of approximately 1/4-mile (400 meters) or even more, depending on the line-of-sight, obstructions by big… Read More »

3A Switching Voltage Regulator based LM317HV

Above circuit diagram is a easy, simple and cheap switching voltage regulator which has capability to deliver adjustable voltage output range of 1.8V to 32V and static electric current of 3A. This regulator use adjustable regulator IC of LM317HV and a power PNP transistor of 2N3792.

PNP Boost for Positive Voltage Regulator

This is the positive voltage regulator circuit with PNP Boost transistor: The IC8211 presents the voltage reference and regulator amplifier, while Q1 will be the series pass transistor. R1 defines the output current of the IC8211, while C1 and C2 present loop stability and as well act to suppress feedthrough of input transients to the… Read More »

Low Forward-Drop Rectifier

This is the circuit diagram of low forward-drop rectifier. A TMOS power FET (Q1) and a LM393 comparator provide a high-efficiency rectifter circuit. When VA exceeds VB, U1’s output becomes high and Q1 conducts. Conversely, when VB exceeds VA, the comparator output becomes low and Q1 doesn’t conduct.

Load Cell Amplifier

I’ve found some interesting schematic of load cell amplifier. As we know, load cell amplifier is pretty expensive with fair price range of 100-300 USD. You may built your own load cell amplifier to get the lower cost. Here the two scheme diagram of load cell amplifier circuit: Load Cell Amplifier using AMP04: source: http://cgi.ebay.com/Load-Cell-Amplifier-Improved-Better-Stability-New-/350451149452
