Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
TV /VCR Remote Range Extender Circuit  -  I often get frustrated by how poor some infrared remotes in many new electronic devices operate.  I used to be able to turn on the TV from 30 feet away.  Now, it seems that I have to get within 15 feet.  To address this issue, I designed the circuit shown below.  The circuit taps into the TV remote’s existing infrared LED and drives 8 more efficient devices.  The result is a communications range some 4 to 5 times longer.   . . . Circuit by Dave Johnson P.E.-October 05, 2005

Video Signal Edge Enhancements  -  I designed this circuit many years ago, based on the claims that the technique would improve the quality of standard TV images.  The circuit adds information to the edges of the objects and was reported to bring out more detail.  After building and testing . . .

Theremin for Tube Enthusiasts by Craig Sellen -  Nearly everyone who has ever watched television or attended a motion picture has heard music and background effects produced by a Theremin, yet relatively few could recognize the instrument, and fewer still have had the chance to own or play one.  With its astounding tonal and dynamic ranges, it has been used to produce background music and special effects in scores of science-fiction, fantasy, horror, and mystery shows __ Designed by C. Sellen

Three-Transistor Modulator-Amplifier Works with Swept-Control Frequencies -  22-April-10 EDN-Design Ideas Many applications require a circuit to perform pulse modulation and voltage amplification to drive a load with a train of impulses.  A typical application is driving a piezoelectric generator in a robot.  Other applications include driving small motors or LEDs.  Echolocation and ultrasound visualization use a sweeping-frequency, or chirp, signal. Design by Horia-Nicolai L Teodorescu and Victor Cojocaru, Gheorghe Asachi Technical University, Iasi, Romania

Timer Remembers Your Rhythm -  01/05/95 EDN-Design Ideas The unpretentious controller in Fig 1 remembers the interval between your pressing its start and stop buttons.  Thereafter, the controller switches the load on and off every day at the same times as you did.  You reset the controll Design by MS Nagaraj, ISRO Satellite Centre, Bangalore, Karnataka, India

Tiny Audio Amplifier using LM386 -  The Tiny Audio Amplifier kit is a good choice for battery operation.   It is based on LM386 IC. __ Designed by Rajkumar Sharma

Tone control -  Based on the classic Baxendall tone control circuit, this provides a maximum cut and boost of around 10dB at 10K and 50Hz.  As the controls are passive, the last transistor provides a slight boost.  The output. __ Designed by Andy Collison

Tone Control using TDA1524A Tone Control IC -  This simple tone control can be used in may audio applications.  It can be added to amplifers, used as a stand alone control module, or even built into new and exciting instruments.  It's one IC construction makes it a very compact circuit, as only a few support components are required.  Plus, it does not use a dual power supply.  This means that the circuit will run from 9V to 15V (although the bass will be a little weak at 9V).  The circuit is by Robert Barg and originally appeared in the Think Tank column of the May 1998 issue of Popular Electronics. __ Designed by Aaron Cake

Tone Detector -  This is also designed to be in conjunction with the sound detector amp/electret mike amp.  this circuit is designed to trigger on a 1 khz tone.  to change this frequencyrefer to the table below, then change the resistor and capacitor values accordingly __ Designed by Andy Wilson

Tone Filters for Electronic Organs -  As the organ is a sustained-tone instrument, achieving a satisfactory imitation of the steady-state acoustic emission of organ pipes is of paramount importance. In this respect, the design of the tone-forming filters is crucial, yet there is a curious absence of definitive material dealing with filter design __ by  C E Pykett B Sc, Ph D

Tone Generator -  this tone generator can be used to control your robot.  you will need to use the tone decoder for this.  to widen the range, higher or lowersubstitute a higher, or lower valued capacitor for c1. __ Designed by Andy Wilson

Tonemender -  The Tonemender is a very flexible, yet simple clean boost with a 3-knob tonestack that allows the user to re-create the classic Fender, Marshall and Vox responses.  We suggest using a TLC2272 for the dual op-amp.  The TLC2272 is rated for low-noise and rail-to-rail output, which will offer the highest possible clean boost and dynamic range.  The NE5532 is another good choice, but a TL072 can also be used with decent results __ Contact: holler @ runoffgroove.Com

Transformer Short Tester -  Transformer Short Tester __ Designed by Guitar Effect RC Keen

Transistor Amplifier Design -  Good stability and sufficient amplification in Transistor based circuits depends on the proper selection of components and their layout.  Gain of the transistor used as well as the current and voltage through it are the most important aspect in the working of a transistor amplifier.  Here explains the design parameters of an one __ Designed by D Mohankumar

Transistor Audio Amplifiers -  At a recent RASON meeting, I gave a presentation of how to design audio preamplifiers.  I thought it would be nice if we could now build some audio amplifiers to bring the output from these preamplifiers to levels which could drive a speaker.  I intentionally avoided the use of IC amplifiers to provide a real learning experience for audio amplifier design.  Although many IC amplifiers provide excellent performance at low cost, we need to learn the basics first.  I will address IC audio amplifiers in a future article. __ Designed by N1HFX

Transistor linearly digitizes airflow -  09/19/02 EDN-Design Ideas A sensitive and reliable way to measure airflow is to take advantage of the predictable relationship between heat dissipation and air speed.  The principle of thermal anemometry relies on King's Law, which dictates that the power required to maintain a fixed differential between the surface of a heated sensor and the ambient air temperature increases as the square root of air speed Design by Steve Woodward, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC

Transmission Line Enclosure Speakers -  Built for my Ambisonic surround rig, and an interesting project.  But don't do this unless you're clinically insane; Buy them instead. __ Designed by Henry 

Transposable Chord Generator -  This circuit consists of three precise triangle-wave oscillators, each using an Analog Devices type AD654 voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) and an AD620 instrumentation amplifier (INAMP).  Each oscillator frequency (F1, F2, F3) is adjusted with a ten-turn potentiometer.  The three triangle waves are summed at U1B to produce a triad chord.  Transposition of the triad over a wide range is achieved by dividing each of the input voltages by a common factor, set by the TRANSPOSE potentiometer and buffered by U1A. __ Designed by Arthur Harrison

Treble Booster/Overdrive including a peRF board layout -  A stone cold crazy treble-boosted overdrive. __ Contact: holler @ runoffgroove.Com

Tremolo Effect for Electric Guitar or Other Musical Instruments -  Tremolo circuit is a kind of sound effect.  We can see this type of effect is applied  in guitar effect pedals.  Tremolo effect is produced if we modulate the amplitude of an audio signal.  The shape of modulating signal can vary from square wave, sawtooth, or sine.  When we use a square wave, then the effect produce a knocking-like sound which might be perceived like a percussive instrument.
