How to Build Unregulated Linear Power Supply

Image
Unregulated power supplies contain four basic components: transformer, rectifier, filter capacitor, and a bleeder resistor. This type of power supply, because of Us simpticity, is the least costly and most reliable for low power requirements. The disadvantage is that the output voltage is not constant It will vary with the input voltage and the load current, and the ripple is not suitable for electronic applications. The ripple can be reduced by changing the filter capacitor to an LC (inductor-capacitor) filter but the cost to make this change would make use of the regulated linear power supply a more economical choice.

Combine stereo input to one output

Image
Here , I will give a circuit of schemes that are used to combine 2 pieces input or stereo to 1 input mono. Why 2 inputs in to one because, if we need a stereo amplifier we want to become a stronger by combining the two input into one input, so that a higher power output. Actually without any circuit above we can combine stereo amplifier into mono, but the sound output less than the maximum , need for this additional combiner circuit.

How to Test a diode

Image
Hello Everyone ... Today i am going to show you how we test a diode using a digital multimeter.In this article, we will go over different tests that we can use to check whether a diode is good or not, all by utilizing the functions of a digital multimeter. There are many checks we can do to see if a diode is functioning the way it should. We will use and exploit the characteristics and behaviors that a diode should show if it is good and, in thus doing so, determine whether is good or defective.So let's start ... Test of a diode with the ohmmeter of a multimeter :   A very good test you can do is to check a diode with your multimeter set to the ohmmeter setting. This is a simple test we can do to check whether it is good, open, or shorted. So we take the ohmmeter and place it across the leads of the diode. The orientation is very important. Anode-Cathode Diode Resistance Test   We first take the ohmmeter and place the positive probe on the anode of the diode (the black part of...

How to Create 1000 Watt Power Amplifier

Image
Power amplifier has up to 1000 Watt power, this circuit made one channel only so if you want to create a stereo in it must be made one again, actually this is more suitable power amplifier in use for Sound System or outdoor, so if only in use for the house I think is less suitable. Maybe you've seen or even have an active speaker and there is written 1500 watts PMPO (Peak Music Power Output), make no mistake this is different from Power Amplifier Active Speaker, I often dismantle such Active Speaker in it only a power with power no more than 150 watts by using the transformer 2-3 Ampere. PMPO is not a real power which is issued by the Power Amplifier, but counting all the speakers that there is, for example: if there are 5 pieces of speakers on each channel and each speaker has a power of 10 W then it is 100 W PMPO. 1000W Power Amplifier schematics Part List 1000W amplifier While this 1000 Watt Power Amplifier minimal use transformer 20 Ampere. And the output of Power Amplifier D...

12V to 20V Automotive Power Converter

Image
 12V to +-20V Automotive Power Converter Diagram The limitation of car supply voltage (12V) forces to convert the voltages to higher in order to power audio amplifiers. In fact the max audio power x speaker (with 4 ohm impedance) using 12V is (Vsupply+ - Vsupply-)^2/(8*impedance) 12^2/32 = 4.5Watts per channel, that is laughable... For powering correctly an amplifier the best is to use a symmetric supply with a high voltage differential. for example +20 - -20 = 40Volts in fact 40^2/32 = 50 Watts per channel that is respectable. This supply is intended for two channels with 50W max each (of course it depends on the amplifier used). Though it can be easily scaled up or the voltages changed to obtain different values.

50 watt 12 VDC to 220 VAC Power Inverter

Image
This is the Simple 50 watt 12 VDC to 220 VAC Power Inverter. Power inverter (UPS Uninterruptible power supply) is a very useful device which can convert Low voltage from a DC source to high voltage AC. The most common power inverter is 12V to 240V inverter. Perhaps that is because 12V batteries are common. This type of power inverter usually draws current from a DC battery. This battery should be able to provide a high flow of electric current. Normally lead acid batteries can server this purpose well. This current is then converted to 240V square wave alternative current so that we may empower those electric appliances which work on 240V instead of 12V. Inverter falls in the category of expensive devices so many people don’t buy them even they need them. What if I tell you how to build an inverter (UPS Uninterruptible power supply) yourself?  Iverter circuit diagram  Parts.

Smart Tracker track anything from your child to shoes

The EPE Minder consists of two type- approved transmitter units and a receiver. If either transmitter becomes separated from the receiver, a buzzer in the latter part will sound. The receiver is fitted with a switch to allow the use of only one transmitter if required. MIND HOW YOU GO This system was originally designed as a two-channel child alarm (to protect either a single child or two children at the same time) but many other applications spring to mind. For example, one transmitter could be placed inside a briefcase and another in a coat pocket. If the user forgot to pick up either of these items and walked away, the buzzer would sound in the receiver. The receiver must be carried on the per- son in a way that would make it practically impossible to lose it. This could be done using a belt clip, for example. Note that it will not be possible to use this system if either the transmitter or receiver were placed inside metal containers or if there were substantial metallic “screening...

Car Stereo Installation Guide - Want to save some money? Ever wonder if you could do a car stereo installation yourself? Yes, you can do it yourself! Go ahead, spend that money on your hardware! Don’t spend it on labor. Besides, doing a car stereo installation yourself can be a very rewarding experience, not to mention you can learn a lot from it too. Nothing beats the feeling of seeing your “creation” in action, running smoothly and perfectly. But be very careful, you really won’t want to damage your expensive hardware. Well, most car audio hardware are no-brainers to install, you’d find that most of the time the parts have specially shaped sockets and slots etc. and would only fit where it’s supposed to be installed. Still, it’s best to proceed methodically. In a car stereo installation, you have to determine what kind of rig you’re going to put into your vehicle. If you’re a beginner, it’s best you do a car stereo installation if it’s just a simple system. You may want to leave ...

Sawtooth to Triangle Converter for Oscillator Circuit

Image
This wave shaper needs an input saw that goes from Vss to (ideally) Vdd. It works well with the 4069 VCO designed by René Schmitz. Any saw will work as long as the wave is centered halfway between the rails. It works as follows: The upper set of 2 linear mode gates provide an inverted and noninverted copy of the saw. The 3 logic gates at the bottom provide a sort of comparator that switches at halfway between the rails.   Sawtooth to Triangle Converter for Oscillator Circuit Diagram The 4007 provides 2 P-MOSFETs that alternately select the inverted or noninverted saw signal depending on where the saw is in it's cycle. This causes the ramp to reverse directions every half cycle. Any imperfection in the saw will show up in the resulting output. The linear mode gate furthest to the right provides soft clipping that turns the triangle wave into something like a sine wave. It sounds like it has fewer harmonics than the triangle. To use with FatMan sawtooth output: Power all IC...

How to Make a Dual Tone Siren Circuit

Image
This electronic siren gives out a continuously varying high amplitude sound. Since the supply voltage is not critical, it can be used in cars, motor cycles or at home. It can replace the ordinary call bell. - . The circuit consists of two separate free running multivibrator and an oscillator. More innovative circuits HERE. A free running or astable multivibrator is one which has two quasi-stable states and the output of one stag is connected to the input of the other through a coupling capacitor.Since both the states are quasi-stable, the output attained is continuously varying in nature i.e. high, low high low-.  The output is in the form low pulses, the frequency of which depends on the base biasing resistor and the coupling capacitor, When these resistances and condensers for both the stages are of different values, the output ` wave form is rectangular; this is because the time constant of the two quasi-stable states becomes different. If this time constant of the two, states i...

Build a simple 500W Cheap 12V to 220V inverter Circuit Diagram.  In this circuit 4047 is use to generate the square wave of 50hz and amplify the current and then amplify the voltage by using the step transformer. 500W Cheap 12V to 220V inverter Circuit Diagram How to calculate transformer rating The basic formula is P=VI and between input output of the transformer we have Power input = Power output For example if we want a 220W output at 220V then we need 1A at the output. Then at the input we must have at least 18.3V at 12V because: 12V*18.3 = 220v*1 So you have to wind the step up transformer 12v to 220v but input winding must be capable to bear 20A.   Source: www.circuitsproject.com
