The circuit was reverse engineered from an old equipment. The op amp stage seems to me like a comparator/oscillator, it is comparing $V_0$ which varies over time because of the capacitors against the 2. 5[V] that is a square wave generatorwith 5V amplitud. So is this an square wave oscillator or what What is its output your problem with simulation arises because SPICE calculates the operating point and

brings up the circuit in an ideal state. You can add some asymmetry into the circuit via a large 10Mohm to ground or rail, OR you can bump the non-inverting input with a voltage source 100 ns into the sim. Starrt it at say 5 v and then kick it to 2. 5V and it should light up if you have it connected properly. placeholder Jan 28 `13 at 2:25 Since each RC link entails a phase delay, at the frequency where the total phase shift is 180 °, there ought to be some positive feedback. What happens in your simulation if you start by force-feeding a 3 Hz square wave at the inverting input for a few seconds and then take it away Henning Makholm Jan 28 `13 at 2:41 The circuit is probably wrong, even though you have checked :-). You have 2 DC paths from U1A _out tp inverting input - one is 1. 5M and the other is 86. 2K (so precise). If it was positive feedback it would be interesting. Time constants are about 0. 1s. Overall it was either a rubbish circuit or intended to mislead or it has been reconstructed wrongly. | What is it part of Russell McMahon Jan 28 `13 at 2:43 @Russell McMahon: It is not 86. 2k but 56. 2k it was a measure straight from the Ohmeter. Ok, let`s suppose it is wrong and it is as you say but let`s concentrate on the given circuit arrangement (I`m open to suggestions and guesses of course). Can`t tell if rubbish or misleading, maybe the inputs of op-amp are inverted, but then again let`s concentrate on the current...
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.....
