Low cost amplifer.

Description. No big deal here! You can make a decent power amplifier using just three transistors. All components used here can be obtained from your electronic junk box. Also you just need a 9V transistor radio battery to power this circuit. The circuit is ideal for a pocket radio or other hand held audio equipments. The first part of the circuit here is a preamplifier consisting of transistor Q1(2N2222). The collector of the Q3 is coupled to the base of Q2 (2N2905A),which forms a complementary symmetry pair with Q3 (2N3053). The amplified signal is available at the junction of emitter…

Converting CD-ROM drive to audio CD player

Description. Here is the simplest scheme for converting a CD ROM drive of your computer to a Audio CD player. The minimum requirement for the player is that, it should have a audio output and skip button. Luckily most of the CD ROM’s are equipped with both of these.  The CD ROM drive needs two voltages, 12V & 5V for its operation. So the main objective is to build a suitable power supply for the CD ROM drive. The IC1 (7812) together with associated components produce a regulated 12V DC. The IC2 (7805) together with associated components produce a regulated…

IR Headset

Description. Here is a simple IR headphone circuit that is suitable for listening to TV or radio with out disturbing others. For beginners the IR headset is a better option than FM head sets because they often produce desirable sound quality with out tuning as well as difficult impedance matching that is often done  in  radio circuits which is difficult for beginners. Transmitter.  The audio signal is coupled to the base of T1 (BC547) by an audio transformer. The T1 pre amplifies the signal. The transistor T2 (BD 140) drives the IR LED’s which transmit the sound as IR beams….

Transistor Amplifier Circuit-12 Watts

12 Watts Transistor Amplifier Circuit Description. The circuit shown below is not at all expensive as the amplifier contains only an op-amp and four transistors (easily available from your electronics junk box).Here the op-amp used is uA 741 which produces the required gain.The four transistors are wired as complementary Darlington’s which produces the drive for the speaker. The voltage drop across the resistors R2 and R3, are used as the input of the Darlington pairs . As the input current to the op-amp depends on the level of the signal op amp is amplifying the voltage drop across the resistors…
