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

4 Transistor FM Tracking Transmitter

The following diagram is the FM tracking transmitter based on 4 transistors. No additional notes for this tracking transmitter diagram, try to discover this circuit by yourself.. 🙂 Components list: R1 = 100K Ohms R2 = 10 Ohms R3 = 47K Ohms R4 = 220 Ohms C1 = 4.7uF/16V C2, C5 = 1nF C3 =… Read More »

100W Inverter 12VDC to 220VAC

The following diagram is an inverter circuit which will give you 220V AC 50Hz with maximum power output of 100W. This inverter built using transistors for both the square wave generator module and the amplifier module. Inverter Diagram: The Q1 and Q2 used generate square wave. Q5-Q8 amplify the signal and the transformer to increase… Read More »
