Rangkaian Pengukur Kapasitas Kapasitor (Kapasitas Meter)

Capacitor or often referred to as the capacitor is a device that can store energy in electric fields, collected by an internal imbalance of electric charge. Capacitor has a unit called the Farad. Identified capacitor has two legs and two poles of positive and negative and has a liquid electrolyte and usually cylindrical. Whereas the other species most of the lower capacity values, do not have a positive or negative poles on foot, mostly flat, round brown, red, green and others such as tablets or buttons.

Rangkaian Penguji FET| Mosfet

MISFET or FET is a related term meaning insulated-gate field-effect transistor, and is almost synonymous with MOSFET. This device used for amplifying or switching electronic signals. The basic principle of the device adalah voltage on the oxide-insulated gate electrode can induce a conducting channel between the two other contacts called source and drain. The channel can be of n-type or p-type, and is accordingly called an NMOSFET or a PMOSFET (also commonly nMOS, pMOS). It is by far the most common transistor in both digital and analog circuits, though the bipolar junction transistor was at one time much more common.

Circuit symbols Mosfet

Rangkaian Penguji FET| Mosfet

This circuit is used to test N-Mosfets, whether it works or not. If it is not working, the LED will not flash. If Mosfet is working it will operate in the astable multivibrator circuit causing the Led to flash.

This circuit can test almost any N-Mosfets As a common emitter buffer that also drives the led as it receives pulses from the Mosfet drain, this circuit uses the NPN transistor

Rangkaian Guitar Effect - Fat Cat Distortion Pedal

circuit of Fat Cat Distortion pedal Distortion is good for blues, rock, pop and alternative. by using this circuit You can hear the fat tone, even at maximum overdrive.

The transistor 2SC1815/BC546 is configured as voltage follower, giving a high impedance for the input. The op-amp serve an adjustable gain amplifier, to boost the signal until it reach the forward bias voltage (about 0.7 volts) of 1N4148 diodes, where the signal is clipped.

The tone controller in use adding a high frequency attenuation when the resistance is set to higher values. Finally, 2SK188/BF245 field effect transistors (FET) is used to buffer the tone control circuit to give low output impedance. Without this buffer, the tone controller would also act like a volume control when the output is connected to a low impedance input.

Rangkaian Amplifier Stereo IC TDA2004

Stereo audio frequency amplifier on a chip TDA2004 is designed for use in portable and automotive fidelity, is protected against short circuit at the output, overheating, excess voltage. The power amplifier IC chips designed specifically for car radio application, are the high current capability (3.5A) and the capability to drive a very low impedance (down to 1.6R).



The TDA2004 has low noise, low distortion, and robust. The robustness is supported by its operation safety protection features: very inductive loads, load dump voltage surge, overheating, output AC-ground short, fortuitous open ground. Other important things is space and cost saving : very low external components counts, and very simple mounting system with no need for electrical isolation between the package and the heat sink because the heat contact metal of the package is already connected to ground.

The maximum operating DC voltage on the TDA2004A is 18 V. However the device can withstand a DC voltage up to 28V withno damage. Thiscouldoccur during winter if two batteries are series connectedto crank the engine.

Rangkaian Peredam Noise Audio (DNR system )

Peredam Noise Audio (DNR system )

This circuit can be use to audio noise reduction for use with audio playback systems. The DNR system is noncomplementary, meaning it does not require encoded source material. The system is compatible with virtually all prerecorded tapes and FM broadcasts. Psychoacoustic masking, and an adaptive bandwidth scheme allow the DNR to achieve 10 dB of noise reduction. DNR can save circuit board space and cost because of the few additional components required.

USB Audio Interface berbasis DAC PCM2902

Rangkaian USB Audio Interface

This is high quality Preamplifier circuit with built-in USB DAC for my power amplifier Leachamp. Schematics is from datasheet of PCM2902. Circuit includes DAC and ADC, SPDIF output and input and HID part with 3 buttons for MUTE, VOL + and VOL-.

For high quality playback is needed to use an external low-drop voltage stabilizer for the DAC part. DAC is used LP2951CM which was easily available at local stores. Output voltage is set to about 3.7V with two resistors. Circuit board is designed regarding to good ground placement and separating of analog and digital ground. These ground are connected in one point at a USB connector.

Rangkaian USB Audio Interface Skema Rangkaian USB Audio Interface


In datasheet of PCM2902 is recommended to connect Low Pass Filter to output of DAC for filtering high frequencies above audioband which are produced by oversampling conversion. Integrated circuit includes digital LPF which filters frequency above 100kHz. In application notes for filter on the manufacturer pages are recommended 1st-Order LPF (simple RC) or 2nd-Order with operation amplifiers which works like preamplifier too. I used simple RC LPF with recommended values R 1k and C 4n7. It's better to use roll-type capacitor instead ceramic. I didn't hear difference in a sound between connection with filter or without it, but with respect to other components in a audio chain it is better to use it. For a higher cut-off frequency we can change value of capacitor to 3n3.

Datasheet LCD 2 x16 (HD44780U)

The HD44780U dot-matrix liquid crystal display controller and driver LSI displays alphanumerics, Japanese kana characters, and symbols. It can be configured to drive a dot-matrix liquid crystal display under the control of a 4- or 8-bit microprocessor. Since all the functions such as display RAM, character generator, and liquid crystal driver, required for driving a dot-matrix liquid crystal display are internally provided on one chip, a minimal system can be interfaced with this controller/driver.

A single HD44780U can display up to one 8-character line or two 8-character lines. The HD44780U has pin function compatibility with the HD44780S which allows the user to easily replace an LCD-II with an HD44780U. The HD44780U character generator ROM is extended to generate 208 5 ´ 8 dot character fonts and 32 5 ´ 10 dot character fonts for a total of 240 different character fonts. The low power supply (2.7V to 5.5V) of the HD44780U is suitable for any portable battery-driven product equiring low power dissipation.

Datasheet LCD 4 Digits SP521PR

This 4 digits LCD SP521PR based digital thermometer, it is possible to measure from -40 to +150 degree celsius. It uses S8100 or 1S1588 as thermal sensor. The power consumption is very small and it is possible to operate about 3 months continuously from a 9-V cell.

This is the TN (Twisted Nematic)-type liquid crystal display. It is possible to 4 digits display but the display of the maximum figure is only "1". It isn't possible to work continuously in the direct current. However, when applying the about 5-V DC voltage between the backplane (common) and the terminal, the color of the segment which corresponds can be temporarily changed to the black. With this, the correspondence of the terminal and the display segment can be confirmed.

note:

The maximum applied voltage : 10 V
The operating temperature : -10 to 55°C
The storage temperature : -20 to 60°C

When using the 5-V power supply, the resistor as much as 10K-ohm must be put in series to prevent from big electric current's flowing in case of the short circuit. The specification of SP521PR to be using this time is as follows.

Rangkaian Thermometer Digital

Thermometer Digital

At this thermometer circuit, the sensor (S8100) or diode (1S1588) is used as the thermo sensor. When using the IC thermo sensor, the thermometry to +100°C from -40°C is possible. Also, when using the diode, the measurement to +150°C from -20°C is possible. Both sensors are contained in the kit.

This time, the thermometer circuit used the diode as the thermo sensor to measure more than +100°C. ICL7136 is used for the thermometer and is measuring the change of the forward direction minute voltages of the diode by the temperature. The 3-1/2 digits liquid crystal display (SP521PR) is used for the display. The most significant digit can display only "1".

The consumption electric power of ICL7136 is very small and it is possible to operate about 3 months continuously with the 9-V cell.
