  • 12V TOUCH SWITCH EXCITER CIRCUIT
    This circuit is designed to generate a 20KHz pseudo sine wave signal that can power about 50 remote touch activated switch circuits.  It can support a cable length of about 2500 feet.  A typical remote switch circuit is also shown as well as a receiver circuit for those switches.

  • 200MHz400MHz VOLTAGE controlled OSCILLATOR
    If you need a clean emitter coupled logic (ECL) type signal between 200MHz and 400MHz this circuit works fine. It uses four voltage-controlled capacitors to change the frequency.
  • 40KHZ LED TEST SIGNAL GENERATOR
    This 40KHz crystal controlled oscillator circuit drives an infrared LED with powerful 40ma pulses.  The circuit can be used to test optical communications circuits, designed to receive 40KHz modulated light signals.
  • AUDIO FREQUENCY DIGITAL NOISE GENERATOR
    When you need to test an audio circuit with broadband noise, this circuit works great. It uses just three inexpensive C-MOS ICs that generate a series of output pulses whose widths vary randomly. I included a level control pot.
  • CAPS PROVIDE VOLTAGE BOOST TO SERIES REGULATOR
    This circuit adds some capacitors and diodes to a traditional transformer type series regulator circuit to extend the normal operating range. It can insure regulation during low line voltage conditions or it can squeeze a few more watts out of a plug-in-the-wall power adapter power supply.
  • CMOS INVERTER 125KHz LC OSCILLATOR
    This circuit uses a single CMOS inverter to form a series resonant LD oscillator.   The values shown set the oscillation at about 125KHz but other frequencies are possible by changing the main LC values.
  • Fully Isolated 50/60Hz Sync Generator
    This circuit will produce a single pulse at the zero voltage cross points of the power line voltage.  An opto-coupler provides a very safe 5KV isolation.
  • 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.
  • SQUARE WAVE DRIVER HAS FLEXIBLE OUTPUTS
    This circuit can produce an output signal ranging from DC to 100KHz. It can source a voltage ranging from 1v to 30v. It can sink a voltage ranging from zero volts to –30v. It can drive up to 200ma of current and can even be switched to a floating tristate output.
  • ULTRA PURE 125KHz SINE WAVE SIGNAL SOURCE
    For some RFID systems operating at 125KHz, a very low distortion signal source reference is needed.  The circuit shown on this page produces a 10 volt peak to peak signal into a 50 ohm load, with a distortion of only 0.01%. 
  • VERY LOW POWER GATED CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR
    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. The method keeps the standby power consumption to a very low 1uA when used with a 3v supply.
