Circuit Combines Power Supply & Audio Amplifier - 20-Dec-01 EDN-Design Ideas The circuit in Figure 1 can help if you must transfer dc power and audio over a pair of copper wires. One application for such a circuit is a low-cost door-opening system with speech input. The circuit uses only one IC, the well-known LM317, a low-cost power-supply regulator. Using this chip, you can modulate the adjustment-pin input with the audio signal from an electret condenser microph__ Circuit Design by Susanne Nell, Breitenfurt, Austria
Class A2 SE 812A Amp - This Amp is a variation on the SE 826 amp, below. It uses positive grid bias derived directly from the cathode follower driver stage. The 6F8-G driver/input tube was chosen because it biases to the required voltage (+14V) for the output stage's bias. (Note that the 6F8-G can be replaced with a 6SN7. I just happen to like the looks of the 6F8-G better) __ Designed by Bob Danielok

Class A2 SE 826 Amp - The schematic for the SE 826 amp. This Amp was an attempt to create a nice Class A2 power amp, similar to the SE 833 amps, described below, but without a 10:1 step-down transformer. Instead, it uses a choke-loaded cathode follower to drive the output tube. It uses positive grid bias derived directly from the cathode follower driver stage. The 6F8-G driver/input tube was chosen because it biases to the required voltage (+14V) for the output stage's bias. (Note that the 6F8-G can be replaced with a 6SN7.

Class A2 SE SV572-160 Stereo Amp - This amp uses a 6BM8 drive stage similar to the big 833A amp below, except it utilizes CATHODE drive. I presently have this amplifier set up so i can adjust the grid bias from about +2V to +30V. There is also a switch that connects the output tube grids to ground (0 Bias) instead of the grid bias supply. This way i can experiment with various output tubes, including 811A, 812A, SV572-10, SV572-30, SV811-10, etc. So far, i think the SV572-160 sounds best in this amp. I think it is because of the cathode drive (also called grounded grid) topology. I think i like the medium mu transmiting tubes, like 812A, 826, SV572-30 in grid drive amplifiers better. But in this amp, the 572-160 can be "dialed in" to a nice sweet-spot that sounds great! __ Designed by Bob Danielok

Class D Audio Power Amplifiers - 01/04/01 EDN-Design Ideas Class D amplifiers are much more efficient than other Classical amplifiers, but their high efficiency comes at the expense of increased noise and distortion. You can assess the frequencyand Time-domain characteristics of a Class D amplifier, including the output filter, using online simulations__ Circuit Design by Duncan McDonald, Transim Technology Corp
Class-A Power Amplifier using MJE2955, TIP2955 or TIP36 for output stage - A single-ended Class-A amplifier is essentially one where there is only one active driven output device. The passive "load" may be a resistor, an inductor (or transformer) oras in this amplifiera current sink. Of the three basic options, the current sink offers the highest linearity for the lowest cost, so is the ideal choice. Some esoteric (some might say idiosyncratic) designs use inductors or 1:1 transformers, but these are bulky and very expensive. Unless made to the utmost standards of construction, they will invariably have a negative effect on the sound quality, since the losses are frequency dependent and non-linear. __ Designed by Rod Elliott ESP

Constant Current Battery Charger - A simple method of charging a battery from a higher voltage battery is shown in the circuit below to the left. Only one resistor is needed to set the desired charging current and is calculated by dividing the difference in battery voltages by the charge current. So, for example if 4 high capacity (4000 mA hour) ni-cads are to be charged at 300 mA from a 12 volt battery, the resistor need, __ Designed by Bill Bowden
Convertible Single Ended SV572-30/3 Stereo Amp - This project makes use of at least two of the new SV572 series audio power triodes from Svetlana. This series includes the SV572-3 , SV572-10 , SV572-30 , and SV572-160. The circuit topology is easily re-configurable ("convertible") to use either the -30 (in Class A2Zero Bias operation) or -3 (in Class A1 operation). In addition, the -30 can be configured for two different drive schemes (standard grid driven configuration or Cathode Driven. A set of switches are used to reconfigure (with power off). But for clarity, the schematics are re-drawn for each mode as shown below __ Designed by Bob Danielak

Darling & DC Darling SE 1626 Amps - This has become a very popular set of amp designs. They are all based upon the 1626 Triode output tube and the philosophy to keep things SIMPLE. I am continually amazed how good these amps sound for what they are. The name "Darling" came from a good friend's description of my original design. It looked like a miniature version of "full-sized" SE 300B. The name stuck Click HERE to find out more __ Designed by Bob Danielak
Darling SE Tube Amplifier - I started this project with the idea to build a simple single-ended tube amplifier. I didn't have any experience with the construction of tube amps so I was looking for a beginner's project. Such a project should be simple (for easy debugging) and it should also be cheap.

Design an Ultra-Low-Noise S-Band Amplifier - 06/04/12 EDN-Design Ideas Use capacitive reactance to save energy while holding a solenoid in the energized position. Solenoid loads generally exhibit large hysteresis. Application of the rated voltage actuates these loads. Once they are in position, however, you can use a significantly lower voltage to thereafter reliably hold them on. A lower sustaining voltage results in less heat production and higher efficiency.__ Circuit Design by Jessica MacNeil

DRM converter used in a Yaesu FRG-100 - This is a very sensitive homemade MF converter/interface allowing you to receive the DRM radio (Digital Radio Mondiale) with your general coverage receiver and a soundcard. It can also be used for software radio apllications, and other MF to LF experiments (not just DRM, and surely not just for the Yaesu FRG-100) !
I've tested this project on a allmode Yaesu FRG-100 receiver. Within certain limits you can change the output bandwidth frequency to suit your needs. The converter is very stable, low noise, sensitive and low on power consumption. __ Designed by Guy Roels ON6MU
