    Comparator

    I was going through the comparator topic and realised that it merely compares the input and the reference voltage. Is it necessary to use resistors along with the inputs in such a circuit? I cannot find any effect of these resistors on the circuit or the output yet it seems to be an elementary...

    Capacitor going to input of op-amp ruining ramp rate

    Hi all, I have this IC which creates a linear voltage ramp proportional to the input voltage based on the capacitor on the output in parallel to ground. I then have to do some analog computation using op amps. When I connect the output of this IC to an op-amp, the ramp is ruined. Is there any...

    Help this complete and utter newbie get an op amp voltage follower working

    Hi everybody, I'm taking a beginners DC circuitry course and I'm trying to learn on my own time about analog circuitry, something which has fascinated me for a while now. One of the things I'm trying to start with is, as the title states, a voltage follower, since this is (supposed to be) a...

    RF signal through a metal container

    I have a steel container utilized for beer fermentation, housing an iSpindel hydrometer sensor immersed in the liquid. This sensor transmits data through 2.4GHz WiFi. To enhance signal strength outside the vessel, would it be beneficial to affix two passive omni 2.4GHz antennas to the lid...

    replace the battery cell power source (1.2v) to 5v

    I am using one machine (which has a small motor) which has battery of 1.2v which got dead and i want to change the power source to USB. The battery is of 1.2V and 400mAh. Motor connected to works perfectly fine if provide the 1.2V from bench power supply. I want to use USB power supply instead.

    Like a CD4053BN but with more switches

    Hi, The CD4053B has only 3 identical bilateral analog spdt switches on it. Does anyone know of any chip that has more so I don't have to buy too many of these? Thanks.

    Relay Chatters with a Blown Capacitor

    Please refer to the diagram below. BX is +110v or 0v. (not sure DC or AC) NX110 assumes -110v. (Maybe 0v? not sure DC or AC) Y2T is 110v DC relay with a part number of KUP-14D15-110. Its operate voltage is 82.5v. When BX is 110v, the relay coils pick up. Why the relay chatters when C1 is...

    Problem with Ramp signal Generator using IC 555

    According to theory the time period for ramp signal generated using the following circuit should be: \[ \frac{2}{3} \frac{V_{CC}.C_{1}.R_{1}.(R_{1}+R_{2})}{V_{CC}.R_{2}-V_{BE}.(R_{1}+R_{2})} \] Now... putting the value of Vcc, R1, R2, VBE, RE... the time period comes out to be around 0.9ms. But...

    Power output when specific distance is passed in an analog circuit

    Hi, I have the speed which I can integrate using an op-amp to get the distance. I have a power output from a retro-reflective sensor when a certain point is passed. I was wondering if a device (capacitor maybe?) could store the distance traveled when it receives the power output from the...

    Best method for converting PWM to analog signal?

    I want to make a circuit that will convert a PWM signal to an analog signal. I want the circuit to be able to work on higher frequencies as well though (up to 15 kHz). Would an RC filter be the best method? Any reference design examples for this?
