Audio Clipper and Compressor Circuits Explained
In this article I have explained using circuit diagrams how a clipper and a compressor circuits work to processes an input audio signal as per the required output signal. What is an Audio Clipper An audio clipper circuit is basically used to alter or restrict the amplitude (volume) of an audio signal. There are mostly […]
Wideband Amplifier Circuits
This page discusses many types of wideband amplifier circuits. These amplifiers are utilized in a variety of high frequency applications in electronics. We’ll talk about how they operate and what makes them unique for specific RF circuit designs. A wideband amplifier is a circuit that boosts electronic signals over a wide range of frequencies, making […]
Ding Dong Bell Circuit that Saves Electricity
This circuit goes beyond being a simple two-tone doorbell. Instead, it utilizes envelope modulation to produce an authentic ‘ding-dong’ chime sound. Additionally, it incorporates a power-saving feature, consuming zero power in standby mode. Circuit Diagram How the Circuit Works When SW1 is pressed, it triggers Q1 to power the remaining circuitry. IC1a serves as a […]
Audio Amplifier Circuit using IC L165
The discussed audio amplifier circuits are designed around the versatile L165V amplifier IC, which is quite adaptable in various scenarios. Working Voltage Range While the minimum recommended supply voltage is 12V, the L165 amplifier circuits show satisfactory operation even below 9V, albeit with somewhat reduced performance. On the upper end, the absolute maximum supply voltage […]
Piano, Guitar Sound Effect Generator Circuit
Music is a part of our lives, accompanying and enhancing our everyday experiences. While it is easy in electronics to generate a single note, for example, using a simple astable oscillator, one can only dream of the myriad of sounds available on even the most ordinary synthesizers, versatile and almost indispensable instruments today. A musical […]
