FM receiver circuit CXA1019

Circuit description.

Inductors L1, L2 and capacitors C4, C6, C7 forms the tank circuit for the ICs built in oscillator section. The IF output available at pin 15 is grounded through resistor R1. C1 is the AC bypass capacitor for R1. Capacitor C16 is meant for ripple filtering. LED D1 is a tuning indicator. Output of the built-in detector stage (pin24) is coupled to the input (pin 25) of the built in AF amplifier stage through capacitor C19, POT R2 and capacitor C18. The POT R2 can be used as a volume control because it controls the input given to the audio amplifier stage. Capacitor C15 couples the audio output to the speaker and C14 is a noise bypass capacitor. C5 is just a power supply filter while C20 couples the antenna to the FM RF input (pin13) of the IC. The FM intermediate frequency output available at pin 15 is filtered using the 10MHz ceramic filter and applied to the FM intermediate frequency input pin18. Capacitor C2 is used for bypassing noise from the audio power amplifier section inside the IC. The output of this power amplifier section is around 500mW. Capacitor C1 and transformer T1 are related to the FM discriminator circuitry inside the IC. Resistor R3 is the feedback capacitor for the AGC section.

Notes.

Assemble the circuit on a good quality PCB.
For L1, make 2.75 turns of 22 SWG enamelled copper wire on a 5mm diameter plastic former.
For L2, make 3.75 turns of 22 SWG enamelled copper wire on a 5mm plastic former.
T1 is a FM IF transformer.
CF1 is a 10.7MHz FM ceramic filter
C4 is a 30pF dual gang FM tuning capacitor.
The circuit can be powered from anything between 3V to 7V DC.
Using a battery for powering the circuit will reduce noise and improve the performance
If you using a battery eliminator, then it must be well regulated and free from noise.
K1 can be a 3W, 8 ohm loudspeaker.
A1 can be a 100cm long whip antenna.

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...
