Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • 1 AMP CURRENT INJECTOR
    When you need to measure resistance down to a few micro ohms, this circuit works great. It is powered from two "C" cell batteries and is designed to inject a well-regulated one amp of current into the unknown resistance. By measuring the voltage drop across the resistor with a digital voltmeter, the resistance value can be accurately measured. The circuit also is equipped with a low battery monitor. Published in Popular Electronics, November 1992

  • 120vac Under Voltage Tester
    Using a cheap 24vac transformer, this circuit can test a product under low 95vac conditions.  With the components show, it has a rating of 250 watts max.
  • 20MHz VCSEL 3mW LASER TEST CIRCUIT
    This circuit takes advantage of some new vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSEL) that don’t require light output control circuits. The circuit shows how to drive the device from a single high speed CMOS IC. The circuit can easily be modified to transmit signals from kilohertz to about 50MHz.
  • 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.

5 Watt 80 Meter QRP CW Transceiver -  A great deal of interest has been generated by my previous design articles, so I decided to go to work on a full blown transceiver design. After several months of work, the ROSE-80 ....

50 MHz Frequency Counter -  This project is nice and small frequency counter that reads frequency from 1 Hz to 50 MHz that I have modified from original designed by Weeder Technologies . I have designed new PCB to fit with 16X1 LCD and change source code for compatible with new small PCB Specifications, Auto-ranging with floating decimal point., Up to 7 digits displayed on 1X16 LCD., Auto-adjusting gate speed (0.1 sec to 1 sec)., Microcontroller-based circuitry provides for simplicity, ease of assembly, and highly stable readout., Sensitivity approximately 100 mV RMS (100 Hz to 2 MHz), 800 mV RMS @ 50 MHz., Input overload protected. ….(electronic schematic added 11/08)
50 MHz Frequency Counter Voltage Meter & SwR/PWR Indicator -  This is a successor of the PIC16C71 4-digit LED f-counter & V-meter. Some hard to find parts used in the previous version, which are out of production for some time, has been omitted. A rather early PIC16C71 has also been replaced by 28-pin device PIC16F876....(electronic schematic / circuit added 03/03/03)
500W low cost 12V to 220V inverter -  Using this circuit you can convert the 12V dc in to the 220V Ac. In this circuit 4047 is use to generate the square wave of 50hz and amplify the current and then amplify the voltage by using the step transformer…..(Circuit design added 09/08)
555 Go/No Go Tester -  This is a more advanced unit with a precise timed testing procedure.  R1 (2M2) is same as 2.2 MegOhm.  The two timers determine the allowable accuracy for the timer IC under test. Potentiometers P1 and P2 permit ready adjustment for the desired range…. [Tony van Roon's circuit]
555 Timer IC Tester -  The 555-tester above is basically a led flasher circuit but with the 555 removed. Imagen the output being a square-wave pulse with a high and low pulse, and is so indicated by the two leds, one 'Hi' and the other one 'Lo'. When you have a good 555 under test….
