Here are the basic electronics tutorial circuits for beginners. You can find here tutorials on operational amplifiers (opamp), transistor, MOSFETs, 555 timer IC, audio amplifiers and many more.
Here is the circuit diagram of a peak detector circuit using opamp. A peak detector circuit is used to determine the maximum (peak) value of an input signal. It stores the maximum value of the input signal for a very long interval of time. In many applications we need to measure the maximum value of […]
The precision rectifier is a type of rectifier that converts the AC signal to DC without any loss of signal voltage. In a precision rectifier circuit using opamp, the voltage drop across the diode is compensated by the opamp. In a Diode voltage drop is around 0.6V or 0.7V. Also, this circuit can be made […]
A Schmitt Trigger circuit is a comparator circuit with some modifications. As compared to a normal comparator circuit the Schmitt trigger circuit has a hysteresis curve. This means that it has two threshold voltages an upper threshold and a lower threshold voltage. In Schmitt trigger hysteresis is created by applying positive feedback to the non-inverting input […]
Voltage controlled oscillator circuit is an electronic oscillator circuit whose output frequency is controlled by an input voltage source. By varying the input voltage, we can change the output frequency. A voltage controlled oscillator can produce frequencies ranging from few Hertz to tens of Gigahertz. Voltage to frequency converters is used in frequency modulation FM […]
LM317 is an adjustable voltage regulator IC. In this project, we will be making a 1.25V to 37V LM317 adjustable voltage regulator circuit. This IC can provide an output current up to 1Amp. It’s a three-terminal positive voltage regulator IC. This voltage regulator requires only two external resistors to set the supply voltage. It has […]
In this project, we will see how to make a triangle wave generator using the 555 timer IC. 555 timer is a very versatile delay and square wave generator IC. It one of the most used ic in electronics projects. You might have used or seen a waveform generator. It is an instrument that can […]
