Simple Meter Impedance Speaker Circuit Diagram

A simple impedance meter can be useful to measure the actual impedance of a speaker or headset, ideal for anyone working with sound, making and repairing speakers. This impedance meter works in conjunction with a multimeter or oscilloscope to measure the impedance.

Meter Impedance Speaker Circuit Diagram

How to make the measurement of impedance speaker with the multimeter

Connect a digital multimeter to AC voltage in the range of 200mV.
Connect the device under test terminals
SW1 to R7, if the value of the measured impedance is less than 100 ohm R8 or upwards.
With SW2 in the "Set" power-on circuit through SW3
Adjust P1 to read exactly 100.0mV the display DVM
Switch SW2 in the "Measure" and read directly from the speaker or headphones impedance value on the display DVM, eg 8.2mV = 8.2 Ohm / 80.1mV = 80.1 Ohm

How to make the measurement of impedance speaker with the oscilloscope:

Connect the oscilloscope instead of DVM (multimeter) and turn P1 fully clockwise.
Short the output speaker and adjust R3 to get a sine wave amplitude of about 2.2V peak-to-peak.
How to make the impedance measurement Speaker "By ear"

Connect a small speaker or headphones, forming a pair of headphones to the output of the circuit and turn P1 to obtain a level of sound output moderated. Carefully adjust R3 until the output sound stops, then turn the trimpot to adjust slowly and stop immediately when the sound start again.

Digital Fan Regulator Circuit Diagram

This is the project of Digital Fan Regulator Circuit diagram. The circuit presented here can be used to control the speed of fans using induction motor. The speed control is nonlinear, i.e. in steps. The current step number is displayed on a 7-segment display. Speed can be varied over a wide range because the circuit can alter the voltage applied to the fan motor from 130V to 230V RMS in a maximum of seven steps. The triac used in the final stage is fired at different angles to get different voltage outputs by applying short-dura-tion current pulses at its gate. For this pur-pose a UJT relax-ation oscillator is used that outputs sawtooth waveform. This waveform is coupled to the gate of the triac through an optocoupler (MOC3011) that has a triac driver output stage. Pedestal voltage control is used for varying the firing angle of the triac. The power supply for the relaxation oscillator is derived from the rectified mains via 10-kilo-ohm, 10W series dropping/limit-ing...

Using the SG3525 PWM Controller Explanation and Example Circuit Diagram Schematic of Push Pull Converter

PWM is used in all sorts of power control and converter circuits. Some common examples include motor control, DC-DC converters, DC-AC inverters and lamp dimmers. There are numerous PWM controllers available that make the use and application of PWM quite easy. One of the most popular of such controllers is the versatile and ubiquitous SG3525 produced by multiple manufacturers – ST Microelectronics, Fairchild Semiconductors, On Semiconductors, to name a few. SG3525 is used extensively in DC-DC converters, DC-AC inverters, home UPS systems, solar inverters, power supplies, battery chargers and numerous other applications. With proper understanding, you can soon start using SG3525 yourself in such applications or any other application really that demands PWM control. Before going on to the description and application, let’s first take a look at the block diagram and the pin layout. Pins 1 (Inverting Input) and 2 (Non Inverting Input) are the inputs to the on-board error amplifier. If you a...

Automatic Intruder Alarm Circuit Diagram

Description: This is a simple single-zone burglar alarm circuit. Its features include automatic Exit and Entry delays and a timed Bell/Siren Cut-Off. It's designed to be used with the usual types of normally-closed input devices such as - magnetic reed contacts - micro switches - foil tape - and PIRs. But it can be Easily Modified to accept normally-open triggering devices - such as pressure mats. Circuit Diagram Notes: It's easy to use. First check that the building is secure and that the green LED is lit. Then move SW1 to the "set" position. The red LED will light. You now have about 30 seconds to leave the building. When you return and open the door - the Buzzer will sound. You then have about 30 seconds to move SW1 to the "off" position. If you fail to do so - the relay will energize and the Siren will sound. While at least one of the switches in the normally-closed loop remains open - the Siren will continue to sound. However, about 15-minutes aft...
