Ultrasonic Motion Detector

This is a ultrasonic motion detector (or movement detector) circuit. The circuit claimed has a high movement sensitivity. Even air moving (hot air rising, wind blowing) will trigger it when the trimpot is set near the most sensitive position. The transmitter sends out a steady ultrasonic tone at 40kHz. At this frequency the wavelength is… Read More »

DOD FX75 Flanger Guitar Effect Pedal

This is the circuit diagram of DOD FX75 Flanger guitar effect pedal. The circuit drawn by Fabian P. Hartery. Featuring a Width control and two output jacks, the FX75 was much more versatile than its predecessor, but the flanging effect it could provide was still not very intense. That said, chorus-like washes of flange can… Read More »

Electro-Harmonix Small Stone Phaser Guitar Effect

This is the schematic diagram of Electro-Harmonix Small Stone Phaser guitar effect pedal. The Small Stone is somewhat special in applying Operational Transconductance Amplifiers (OTA”s) for phase shift stages rather of opamps with variable resistors. All of the IC”s are house marked EH1048, but could be replaced with CA3094 that is a combination of an… Read More »

5 Band Graphic Equaliser

This is the design diagram of 5 band graphic equaliser circuit build using operational amplifier chips, the NE5532 or LM833. The op-amp ICs is a good choice because of inexpensive and comes with fairly good quality output. Each IC contains dual op-amps circuit, so you will need 4 ICs of NE5532 or LM833 to build… Read More »

4 Watts FM Transmitter

The following diagram is the FM transmitter circuit with FM transmision up to 4W. Voltage supply for this circuit is 12-16V with current consumption of 100-400mA. This circuit works with frequency of emission range of 88-108MHz. Transistor 2N2219 used as the main signal amplifier. 4 Watts FM Transmitter circuit design: Components List: R1, R2 =… Read More »

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 »
