Signal
Generator: This is a lovely project for home constructors keen on building their own test and measurement (T&M) equipment. It makes
use of the ICL8038 signal generator chip, manufactured by Intersil. An improved version, made by Exar corp. is available (XR8038A). It can be
used to produce three types of waveforms, sine, square and triangle. The frequency, amplitude and duty cycle can be varied, and selection of
waveform is done digitally. To further reduce the complexity, a 3-to-1 switch may be... (electronic project added 2/06) |

Simple
Choc Block Supply: A very simple adjustable power supply can be built on a single piece of chocolate block based on the L200CV IC.
The output is variable between 0 and 30V, with an adjustable current limit up to 2 amps. (electronic project added 2/06) |

Soft start Controller is gentle on loads: 11/22/2001 EDN
- Design Ideas / (Electronic circuit added 10/03) The control circuit in Figure 1 senses a given load and automatically soft-starts the
load by synchronously adjusting the power to that load. You can also manually adjust the power delivered to the load by controling the phase
angle of the line voltage across the load. The phase-angle adjustment for every ac half cycle covers 0 to 180 . . |

Tracking Dual Rail Power Supply: This article details the construction of a bench top power supply that can be used to power
circuits or devices during development work in the lab. More specifically it is an adjustable, tracking, dual rail supply which means there
are two supply voltages, one positive, one negative, that are adjusted by a common potentiometer such that supply voltages are equal in
magnitude. It is capable of supplying up to +/- 15V DC at up to 1A. This is sufficient for the majority of small signal e.. (electronic
