Simple Mini Audio Amplifier Circuits
In this article we are discussing a handful of simple, mini audio amplifier circuits which can be built quickly for amplifying very tiny input signals into audible speaker outputs. 1) 1 Watt Amplifier Circuit The first simple mini audio amplifier circuit works with a ‘complementary’ output stage, having a single NPN and a single PNP […]
How to Design MOSFET Power Amplifier Circuits – Parameters Explained
In this post I have explained various parameters that must be considered while designing a MOSFET power amplifier circuit. We also analyze the difference between bipolar junction transistors (BJT) and MOSFET characteristics and understand why MOSFETS are more suitable and efficient for power amplifier applications. Contributed by Daniel Schultz Overview When designing a power amplifier […]
Op Amp Preamplifier Circuits – For MICs, Guitars, Pick-ups, Buffers
In this post I have explained a variety of op amp preamplifier circuits, and there should be an appropriate layout here for almost any standard audio preamplifier application. As the name suggests itself, a preamplifier is an audio circuit which is used before a power amplifier, or between a small signal source and a power […]
Digital Theremin Circuit – Make Music with your Hands
Named after its creator, the theremin originated in the Soviet Union in the beginning of 1920’s. This comprised of a container installed with a couple of antennas. It did not have any keyboard to play, no strings like in guitars. Rather, the theremin made use of human body capacitance to manipulate the volume and the […]
Listen to UHF and SHF (GHz) Bands with this Simple Circuit
This simple two IC circuit can be used for capturing and listening to frequencies in the GHz range. Receivers designed to cover frequencies as high as several gigahertz (which is many thousand MHz!) are generally difficult to find, specifically for anyone who is looking for cheap versions of these gadgets. However, it may be possible […]
