Wideband Wien Oscillator Circuit with Single Gang Pot
Wideband Wien Oscillator Circuit with Single-Gang Pot Circuit Diagram

Only one arm of the Wien network is varied, but the change in positive feedback that would normally result is compensated for by IC1b, which works to bootstrap R2, thereby changing the negative feedback enough to maintain oscillation. A linear change in the resistance of the tuning pot results in a roughly logarithmic change in frequency. To get a more conventional linear change a log-taper pot is used wired so that rotating the knob anticlockwise causes frequency to increase.
You could use an anti-log pot the other way around if you prefer, but these things are notoriously hard to find. IC1A is an integrator that monitors the amplitude of the output signal and drives an LED (D2). This must be mounted facing the LDR (light dependent resistor) and shielded from ambient light (for example, with a piece of heat-shrink tubing). IC1a is then able to control the gain of IC2a so that oscillation is maintained with minimum distortion.
The maximum output amplitude of the generator is about 2 Vp-p when the LED and LDR are mounted as close as possible. Distortion is less than 0.5 % in the lowest range, and too low for the author to measure in the higher ranges. Any LDR should work, provided its dark resistance is greater than 100 kO. If you do not have an LDR with such high resistance, try increasing R5 until oscillation starts. Breadboarded prototypes of the circuit were built by the author using dual and quad opamp packages, and both work equally well.

R1,R2,R3,R6,R10,R11 = 10kO

AC Motor Speed Controller Circuit With explanation

Parts
| |
Notes |
- TR1 must be chosen to match the requirements of the load. Most generic TRIACs with ratings to support your load will work fine in this circuit. If you find a TRIAC that works well, feel free to leave a comment.
- U1 must be chosen to match the ratings of TR1. Most generic DIAC based opto-isolators will work fine. If you have success with a specific part, feel free to leave a comment.
- T1 is any small transformer with a 1:10 turns ratio. The circuit is designed to run on 120V so a 120V to 12V transformer will work. Alternately, you can wind T1 on a transformer core using a primary of 25 turns, a secondary of 200 turns, and 26 gauge magnet wire.
- R9 is used to adjust motor speed. R10 is a trim pot used to fine tune the governing action of the circuit. R8 fine tunes the feedback circuit to adjust for proper voltage at the gate of SCR1. It should be adjusted to just past the minimum point at which the circuit begins to operate.
- R13 must be chosen to match the load. Generally, larger loads will require a smaller value.
- Since this circuit is not isolated from mains, it must be built in an insulated case.

Inverted Relay Driver Stage Circuit
Dear Sir,
I want to interface a Relay with 8051 microcontroller and its
operating voltage is 5v.
A single BC547 (in Common emitter) Transistor driving a 12v Relay.
At initial Power-on all output of microcontroller are logic high(+5v).
Even I initialize its output to logic Low(0v) it takes a fraction of
second to change state. Which resulting a fluctuation at Relay and its
output.
So, I want to design a inverted Circuit to drive that relay. i.e Input
logic 0v to ON, logic high(5v) to OFF the Relay.
I have used NOT-GATE like 74hc04, results are perfect, but i need a
small transistor based solution.
Thanks for responding.
Regards,
Aparajit. My Reply to Mr. Aparajit Hello Aparajit,
Either you can use a PNP transistor like a BC557
in place of BC547 and connect the relay across its collector and
ground, or,.... connect another BC547 with the existing one in the
following way:
The relay driver BC547s base resistor end which
was previously connected to the microcontroller o/p now gets connected
to the collector of the new BC547. This junction also gets connected to
the positive via a 2K2 or nearby value resistor.
The emitters of both the BC547 are commonly connected to ground.
The base of the new BC547 gets connected to the microcontroller o/p via a suitable resistor, may be of the order of 10K or so.
Any of the above inverting options may be selected for the desired functions.
Do not forget to connect the flyback diode across the relay coil for the above cases. I think the first option which uses a BC557 transistor is much straight forward. Regards.Sunday, 26 May 2013

Remote controlled switch circuit
remote sensor IC TSOP 1738 is used for receiving the signal. Normally
when no signal is falling on IC3 the output of it will be high. This
makes Q1 OFF.When a signal of 38 KHz from the TV remote falls on the
IC3 its output goes low.This makes Q1 conduct and a negative pulse is
obtained at pin 2 of IC 1 NE 555. Due to this IC1 wired as a monostable
multivibrator produces a 4 Sec long high signal at its out put.This
high out put is the clock for IC 2 which is wired as a Flipflop and of ,
its two outputs pin 3
goes low and pin 2 goes high. The high output
at pin 2 is amplified to drive the relay. For the next signal the
outputs of IC2 toggles state. Result, we get a relay toggling on each
press on the remote. Any appliance connected to this circuit can be
switched ON or OFF.
Remote Controlled Switch Circuit Diagram with Parts List .
Notes:
Before wiring the circuit make sure that the carrier frequency of the
TV remote you have is 38 kHz.For that wire the sensor part only ,point
your remote to the TSOP1738 and press any switch.If out put of TSOP1738
goes low then OK, your remote is of 38Khz type.Nothing to worry almost
all TV remote are of this type.
You can use any switch of the remote because for any switch the code
only changes, the carrier frequency remains same.We need this carrier
frequency only.
* Use a regulated 6V power supply for the circuit.

Sound to Dancing Lights Converter Circuit
This is a design circuit for converting an audio signal (such as one that comes from the speaker terminals of a CD player). The circuit basically consists of a buffer/amplifier stage and three filter circuits: a high-pass filter, a mid-pass filter, and a low-pass filter. The output of each filter circuit drives a light-emitting diode of different color. This is the figure of the circuit;

The input signal is fed to the buffer stage through C1. The values of RF and RV1 should be chosen so that the buffer is able to drive the three filters attached to its output. The low-frequency, mid-frequency, and high-frequency components of the input signal are only allowed to pass through the low-pass filter (bottom filter), the mid-pass filter (middle filter), and the high-pass filter (topmost filter), respectively, thus separating them from each other. Changes in the output of a filter cause its corresponding output LED to turn on and off. In effect, feeding a continuous audio signal to the input of this circuit causes the LEDs to dance.

5 to 30 Minute Timer Circuit
Simple to build, simple to make, nothing too complicated here. However you must use the CMOS type 555 timer designated the 7555, a normal 555 timer will not work here due to the resistor values. Also a low leakage type capacitor must be used for C1, and I would strongly suggest a Tantalum Bead type. Switch 3 adds an extra resistor in series to the timing chain with each rotation, the timing period us defined as

Circuit Operation:
In this circuit, transistor Q1 and associated components form the audio signal preamplifier for the acoustic signals picked up by the condenser microphone and converted into corresponding electrical signals. Resistor R5 and capacitor C3 decouple the power supply of the preamplifier stage. Resistor R1 biases the internal circuit of the low-voltage condenser microphone for proper working. The audio output from the preamplifier stage is fed to the input of the medium-power amplifier circuit via capacitor C2 and volume control P1.
The medium-power amplifier section is wired around popular audio amplifier IC TDA2822M (not TDA2822). This IC, specially designed for portable low-power applications, is readily available in 8-pin mini DIP package. Here the IC is wired in bridge configuration to drive the 32-ohm general-purpose monophonic earphone. Red LED (D1) indicates the power status. Resistor R8 limits the operating current of D1. The audio output of this circuit is 10 to 15mW and the quiescent current drain is below 1 mA.
