Terminals 1 and 8 represent the gain control of the amplifier. These are the terminals where you can adjust the gain by placing a resistor and capacitor or just capacitor between these terminals. In this circuit, we will place a 10G‚ µF capacitor between these terminals for the highest voltage gain. Terminals 2 and 3 are the sound input signal ter

minals. These are the terminals where you place the sound which you want to amplify. Terminal 2 is the -input and Terminal 3 is the +input. In our circuit, the positive sound signal will be placed on terminal 3 and terminal 2 will be tied to ground. Terminal 7 is the Bypass terminal. This can bypass 15KG resistors. This pin is usually left open or is wired to ground. However, for better stability, a capacitor is added in our circuit because this can prevent oscillations in the op amp chip. C1 is a capacitor that is used to set the gain of the op amp. By placing a capacitor here, we can set the gain to the highest level to get maximum gain, which in this case is 200. Therefore, the voltage coming out of the op amp is 200 times the voltage going in. C2 is a smoothing capacitor. If the power supply has any abrupt voltage or current spikes, this capacitor works to smooth out the signal so that it evens out those spikes. This capacitor helps to eliminate all of those ripples, which translates to the op amp having less noise input into it. C3 acts as a current bank for the output. This capacitor fills with electrons when demand for current is low and drains when sudden surges of current occur. The LM386 amplifies the sound input into it by a factor of 200. All amplifiers need DC voltage in order to run. The LM386 takes anywhere from 4-12 volts of DC voltage to operate. The sound signal to be amplified are placed on terminals 2...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
