Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E.

Gated 125Khz Oscillator This circuit is uses a NAND gate as an inverter.  The gate allows the oscillator to be gated on and off.  Again, the values shown set the frequency at 125KHz but can be changed to produce other frequencies . . . Hobby Circuit designed by David Johnson P.E.-March, 2002

Gated Crystal Oscillator with Very Low Power The circuit gates the output of a continuously operating 32KHz crystal oscillator to the input of a C-MOS buffer when clock pulses are needed.  The technique gets around the problem of a slow starting crystal oscillator by keeping the oscillator going and switching on a transistor power stage only as needed . . . Hobby Circuit designed by Dave Johnson P.E.-June, 2000

High Power Touch Switch Exciter Circuit If you have hundreds of touch switches that need an excitation signal, then this circuit is what you need.  Its 20KHz 20v peak to peak output signal can supply up to 3 watts of touch switch excitation power. . . Circuit by Dave Johnson P.E.-February, 2002

LC Oscillator Medium Power 125Khz This circuit is similar to MEDIUM POWER 125KHZ OSCILLATOR but adds even more inverters in parallel to deliver yet more power.  The values shown are for 125KHz . . . Hobby Circuit designed by David A. Johnson P.E.-March, 2002

Medium Power 125khz Oscillator This circuit adds even more inverters in parallel to deliver yet more power.  The values shown are for 125KHz. . . Circuit by Dave Johnson P.E.-March, 2002

Medium Power 125khz Oscillator #2 This circuit is similar to MEDIUM POWER 125KHZ OSCILLATOR but adds even more inverters in parallel to deliver yet more power.  The values shown are for 125KHz.. . . Circuit by David A. Johnson P.E.-March, 2002

Micro Power Over-Temperature Alarm The circuit is powered for years by a single 3 volt lithium battery.  It sounds an alarm when the temperature exceeds a certain point.  With some minor changes the circuit could also be configured for an under temperature (freeze) alarm.  The circuit uses a. . .

Night_Light_with_20_LED -  After 3 years of continuous 24/7 operation I noticed that the 20 LED array I was using as a night light next to my back door was fading.  Some of the LEDs were much dimmer than others.  I figured that over time, the internal heat dissipated from the LED chip was causing the LED light intensity to fade.  I decided it was time to replace the light. . . . Hobby Circuit by David Johnson P.E.-July, 2017

Over-Temperature Micro-Power Alarm The circuit is powered for years by a single 3 volt lithium battery.  It sounds an alarm when the temperature exceeds a certain point.  With some minor changes the circuit could also be configured for an under temperature (freeze) alarm.  The circuit uses a . . . Hobby Circuit designed by Dave Johnson P.E.-June, 2000

Peak to Peak 300v Signal Generator This circuit converts a square wave signal to a +-150 volt output signal with fast 100nS rise and fall times . . . Hobby Circuit designed by David A. Johnson P.E.-June, 2000
