Using inexpensive components, you can fit a simple probe circuit into a pencil-sized enclosure. When both LEDs are on, the probe indicates the presence of an ac voltage; either LED alone indicates the presence and polarity of a dc voltage. The diode-bridge arrangement allows one-way current source R1, R2, Q1, and Q2 to light either LED (or both) when the probe is activated by a test voltage.Diodes provide the necessary peak-inverse voltage rating; R3 and C1 provide a spike-suppression network to protect the current-source transistors. visit page.

Transistor trio makes vector anemometer

A previously published Design Idea (Reference 1) uses a heated transistor as an airspeed-to-frequency converter. Because it uses only one transistor, the circuit cannot determine the direction of airflow. Alternatively, a circuit that uses a trio of hot transistors can digitize both wind speed...

Sample and hold

The JFETs, Ql and Q2, provide complete buffering to Cl, the sample and hold capacitor. During sample, Ql is turned on and provides a path, rds(on), for charging Cl. During hold, Ql is turned off, thus leaving Ql Id (< 100 pA) and Q2 Igss (< 100 pA) as the only discharge paths



Very-short-pulse-width-measurer

This circuit operates by charging a small capacitor from a constant-current source when the pulse to be measured is present. Dual pnp transistor Q3 is the current source; its output current equals the LM329 reference voltage divided by the resistance of potentiometer Rl. When the input is high...
