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 power supply to the circuit ‘under test’ could be cut-off instantly to protect the important components from damage. The circuit gives you four different regulated DC outputs (12V, 9V, 6V and 5V) and an unregulated 18V DC output, that are selectable by way of rotary switch S2. The selected output is showed on the analogue voltmeter connected to the outputs rails. The circuit works by using a typical 18V-0-18V, 500mA step-down transformer to deliver 18V AC. A rectifier diode comprising diodes D1 and D2 supplies 18V DC, that is smoothed by capacitor C1 and given towards the combination of regulator ICs (IC1 through IC4). The regulator ICs deliver ...

Antennas are much shorter than quarter wavelength impedance obtained is very small and highly dependent on the frequency. It was a difficult game impedances over a decade of frequency coverage. Instead, the phase of the input source-follower FET Q1. A high impedance input successfully bridges Antenna characteristics at any frequency. 1/4 wavelength Active Antenna Circuit Diagram   transistor Q2 is used as a follower, to provide a high impedance load for Q1, but more importantly that it makes to drive low-impedance amplifier coupled to commonly Q3, which each receive a voltage amplifier.

A lot of electronic circuits in the domain of audio amplifiers are already been published here. This circuit is a little different because it is a four channel amplifier. Each channel of this amplifier can deliver an output of 15Watts into a 4 ohm speaker. The amplifier can be operated from a single 12V DC supply and this makes it possible to use this amplifier in car audio applications too. Circuit diagram : 4 X 15 Watt Mini Power Amplifier The circuit is based on the 15W BTL X 2 channel audio power amplifier IC TA8215 from Toshiba. Even though chip is specifically designed for car audio applications it can be also used for home audio applications. Two TA8215 ICs are used here in order to obtain a 4 channel amplifier system. The circuit is designed almost exactly as per the application diagram in the ICs datasheet. Pins 7 and 19 are the Vcc pins of the ICs internal integrated power amplifier stages and these pins are connected to the positive supply. Pin 9 is the Vcc pin for ICs ...

LCD Module in 4-bit Mode Circuit diagram. In many projects use is made of alphanumeric LCDs that are driven internally by Hitachi’s industry-standard HD44780 controller. These displays can be driven either in 4-bit or 8-bit mode. In the first case only the high nibble (D4 to D7) of the display’s data bus is used. The four unused connections still deserve some closer attention. The data lines can be used as either inputs or outputs for the display. It is well known that an unloaded output is fine, but that a floating high-impedance input can cause problems. So what should you do with the four unused data lines when the display is used in 4-bit mode? This question arose when a circuit was submitted to us where D0-D3 where tied directly to GND (the same applies if it was to +5 V) to stop the problem of floating inputs. The LCD module was driven directly by a microcontroller, which was on a development board for testing various programs and I/O functions. There was a switch present for turnin...

  Android 4.4.1 landing soon and fixes Nexus 5 camera . The Nexus 5 from Google is quite an awesome device, however its camera isn’t the greatest. Even though the Nexus 5 ′s camera features a optical image stabilization, taking shots from it are painfully slow and generally out-of-focus. Google is aware of this and as per The Verge, a new update scheduled to be released in the next few days fixes a lot of issues with the Nexus 5 camera. They’ve managed to get a hands-on experience with Android 4.4.1 and here is what they have to say: Speed is a theme for the update, and the Nexus 5 ′s camera really does feel faster across the board. The app launches a full second quicker than it did before the update, meaning you’ll miss many fewer shots than before. There’s also a new progress indicator in HDR+ mode, which makes the process, longer by necessity, feel a lot more straightforward. It’s the first of what Burke says will be a series of interface changes, as Google tries to make Andro...

Description   This is a universal version of the Four-Digit Alarm Keypad . I've modified the design of the output section - to free up the relay contacts. This allows the circuit to operate as a general-purpose switch. I used a SPCO/SPDT relay - but you can use a multi-pole relay if it suits your application. Do not use the "on-board" relay to switch mains voltage. The board's layout does not offer sufficient isolation between the relay contacts and the low-voltage components. If you want to switch mains voltage - mount a suitably rated relay somewhere safe - Away From The Board .   Circuit Diagram   Notes: The relay is energized by pressing a single key. Choose the key you want to use - and connect it to terminal "E". Choose the four keys you want to use to de-energize the relay - and connect them to "A B C & D". Wire the common to R1 and all the remaining keys to "F". The Circuit is easy to use. When you press "E" - curre...

The use of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy sources is increasing due to global warming concerns on the one hand, and cost effectiveness on the other. Many engineers involved in power electronics find solar power tempting and then addictive due to the ‘green’ energy concept. The circuit discussed here handles up to 4 amps of current from a solar panel, which equates to about 75 watts of power. A charging algorithm called ‘pulse time modulation’ is introduced in this design. The current flow from the solar panel to the battery is controlled by an N-channel MOSFET, T1. This MOSFET does not require any heat sink to get rid of its heat, as its RD-S(on) rating is just 0.024 Ω. Schottky diode D1 prevents the battery discharging into the solar panel at night, and also provides reverse polarity protection to the battery. In the schematic, the lines with a sort-of-red highlight indicate potentially higher current paths. The charge controller never draws current from the battery—it is fully powere...
