The DS1669 is an electronic digital rheostat manufactured by Dallas Semiconductor. This component has a function similar to digital variable resistor/potensiometer which can be operated by push the buttons. You can adjust the audio volume, LCD contrast, frequency, etc. by using two buttons instead of a common potentiometer/trimpot. This circuit explains how we do it… Read More »
This is the electronic circuit diagram of aquarium temperature probe capable to monitor the temperature of water and indicate the rise in temperature through audio-visual indicators. This circuit uses diode 1N34 as the temperature sensing probe. The resistance of the diode will be vary depends on the temperature in its vicinity.
This is a MicroChip Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) reference design with PIC17C43 microcontroller. The document is available to download from the end of this post. At times, power from a wall socket is neither clean nor uninterruptible. Many abnormalities such as blackouts, brownouts, spikes, surges, and noise can occur. Under the best conditions, power interruptions… Read More »
This is variable DC power supply circuit, or we can call it adjustable DC power supply which give us a 1.2V-25V output voltage. The power supply schematic above is taken from the datasheet of regulator LM338K manufactured National Semiconductor. The circuit uses IC LM338K as the voltage regulator, so we will get the stable and… Read More »
This is definitely an effective 4-output stage stabilized DC power supply unit for testing electronic circuits. It delivers very well regulated and stabilised output, that is important for most electronic circuits to provide good results. The circuit gives you an audio-visual indication if there is a short circuit in the PCB under test, so the… Read More »
This is the schematic diagram of DC motor speed controller circuit. The circuit applies two oscillators/timers which are connected as a Pulse Width Modulator (PWM). The timer chip which applied in this circuit will be an nmos dual timer/oscillator NE556. This timer IC has two 555 timers in a single 14-pin IC package.
This is a high quality 65W power amplifier circuit based HEXFET IRF9540 and IRF540. The circuit is quite simple for amplifier with good sound quality. The component parts is easy to find at electronic store around your place. It uses split power supply. Q8, Q10, Q11, Q12, Q13 should be mounted on heatsink for thermic… Read More »
This tube sound fuzz mods circuit is taken from the book of Electronic Projects for Musicians by Craig Andertons. This circuit applies a CD4049 Hex inverter, which consists of six inverting units. Only two are being used in this circuit, so the others are disabled by connecting their inputs to the positive voltage source and… Read More »
This two chips AM radio receiver circuit is a tuned radio frequency (TRF) receiver of the standard AM (amplitude modulation) radio with broadcast frequencies at 550kHz-600kHz. This is a simple and easy to build AM radio circuit which only using two integrated circuits (IC). This circuit works with 9V voltage supply, you could use 9V… Read More »
