TL431 and LM431 are relatively low-noise, stable and low-cost shunt regulators. These can be used to build all sorts of power supplies including programmable power supplies, advantages of which are enormous. You can program the output voltage with simple switches. You can also program the output voltage with digital codes coming from a microcontroller (MCU) or from the printer port of a PC. You can adjust any output voltage individually with resistors or trimmer potentiometers to the required values. This article presents a programmable power supply built around TL431 (IC1) and two bipolar transistors BD139 and TIP31 (T1 and T2). The circuit also includes an inverter 7406 (IC2), nine diodes 1N4007 (D1 through D9), a 12V regulator 7812 (IC3), a 5V regulator 7805 (IC4) and a few other components. Using this circuit you can obtain around 18V, 2A unregulated output and 3V to 15V, 1A variable regulated power supply based on digitally programmable input as shown in Table I. You can also obta...

A 2 4GHz High Power Audio Video Link

November 28, 2016

Forget about flea power A-V links. This one has an output of 0.5W for a range of about 200 meters using simple "whip" antennas. You will have seen adverts for devices of this type - they've become quite popular in recent years. Operating on a frequency of 2.4GHz (that's 2,400,000,000Hz for the uninitiated!), most have about 10mW or so output and while they work well over a short range, the range is limited by the low power. This design has much higher power - around 0.5W output, in fact. So as you might expect, the range is very significantly extended. With the simple coax cable "whip" antennas shown here, the range is reliably 200m or more. But if you use a simple dipole antenna, you could expect much more range - maybe 10 times or more. Perhaps a word or two about how and why this is possible is in order. It is sometimes difficult for people to understand how changing antennas can give longer range. The simplest analogy I can think of is using your own vo...

Echo effect with IC PT2399 schematic

January 07, 2017

Effect Echo is an electronic circuit that is used to delay sound or make an echo in an audio circuit . Using a circuit of echo is easy enough , we just set on the volume, and gain and trimpot near is rate of 20 K ohm to adjust how the desired echoes. This echo circuit using ic 4558D for additional amplifier and ic PT2399 as a major component that serves to echo , or repeat the sound output on the audio system. Click image to view larger How to use it as follows : That is initially given the output of the mic input or other equipment. Then turn down the volume, and slowly raised, setting echo effect on the trimpot 20K. If not check back for the damaged to the circuit.
