DC to DC Converter +5V to +12V

This is the fixed 5V to 12V DC to DC converter. The circuit application converts input voltage of 5V (range 4.5V-5.5v) to 12V fixed regulated DC output. The circuit built based National regulator monolithic IC LM2586 which is specifically designed for flyback, step-up (boost), and forward converter circuit applications. The LM2586 will require a heat… Read More »

DC Motor Controller using Transistor TIP31

This is a DC motor controller circuit, built using transistor TIP31 based on H-Bridge concept. The switch S1 and S2 are normally open , push to close, press button switches. The LED function is to indicate the direction of motor rotation, you may use any common LED type. The TIP31 transistors capable to handle 3A… Read More »

Easy Build Motorcycle Alarm

The following circuit is a simple, cheap and easy build motorcycle alarm. The circuit just required 2 transistors to drive the relay the the relay act as a switch to activate the buzzer. Any number of normally-open switches may possibly be applied. Fit the mercury switches to ensure that they close when the steering is… Read More »

Electro Harmonix Graphic Equalizer

This is the diagram od electro-harmonix graphic equalizer. You can specify the number of channels according to your needs. You just need to parallel the components: C1, C2, R1, an om-amp, Potensiometer and a 470 ohm resistor. The frequency to be boost decided by C1, C2 and R1. See the diagram for the C1, C2… Read More »

3-Rail (+12V) / (+5V) / (-5V) Regulated Power Supply

This circuit generates 3 source regulated voltages applying a minimum of electronic parts. The output DC voltage are +12V ; +5V and -5V. Diodes D2 and D3 conduct full-wave rectification, at the same time charging capacitor C2 on each halves of the alternating current cycle. At the same time, diode D1 with capacitor C1, and… Read More »

Sound Effect Generator UM3561

This is a really simple sound effect generator based single sound generator chip UM3561. The UM3561 will generate four kinds of sound effects. The basic operation is that the UM3561 will generate the sound signal, then the signal delivered to 2N3706 (as speaker driver) to be amplified so you can hear the sound from a… 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 »

5VDC to 12VDC LT1070 Boost Converter

This is a 5VDC to 12VDC boost converter circuit built based LT1070. The LT®1070/LT1071 are monolithic high power switching regulators. They can be operated in all standard switching configurations including buck, boost, flyback, forward,inverting and “Cuk”. A high current, high efficiency switch is included on the die along with all oscillator, control and protection circuitry.
