Buffer Opamps by CA3140

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008


The buuffer electronic with IC Opamps by CA3140 or LF353 or TL072.
If output impedance of a point is a high value then connecting another circuit at that point will load it resulting in malfunction or error. Buffers are used as interface between circuits. Low impedance of an output means it can source sink lot of [...]

Sound Effects Generator by UM3561

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008


This circuit uses a UM3561 IC to produce four different sound effects.
Nothing too complicated here. The IC produces all the sound effects, the output at Pin 3 being amplified by the transistor. A 64 ohm loudspeaker can be substituted in place of the 56 ohm resistor and 8 ohm loudspeaker. The 2 pole 4 way [...]

Self-Resonance Piezo Buzzer with 1-18V

Friday, April 4th, 2008


As power is first applied, the piezo is drawing a lot of current through R1 & 2 and shunts it away from the base of the transistor. At some point, as the piezo begins to saturate, the shunting effect diminishes to the point where the transistor starts turning on. This starts discharging the [...]
