As the name indicates , a sample and hold circuit is a circuit which samples an input signal and holds onto its last sampled value until the input is sampled again. Sample and hold circuits are commonly used in analogue to digital converts, communication circuits, PWM circuits etc. The circuit shown below is of a sample and hold circuit based on uA 741 opamp , n-channel E MOSFET BS170 and few passive components.

In the circuit MOSFET BS170 (Q1) works as a switch while opamp uA741 is wired as a voltage follower. The signal to be sampled (Vin) is applied to the drai...

Small Metronome Circuits Diagram Notes: Q1 & Q2 provide linear frequency operation of IC1 following P1 resistance variation. Q3 was added in order to obtain a louder click, similar to clockwork metronomes. A 12V micro battery was used to obtain a higher output power and more compactness. Rotate P1 fully towards R2, then set R1 to obtain 40 beats per minute (compare with another metronome). Rotate P1 fully towards R3, then set R4 to obtain 208 beats per minute. Finally mark the entire scale with the usual metronome steps, as follows: 40 - 42 - 44 - 46 - 48 - 50 - 52 - 54 - 58 - 60 - 63 - 66 - 69 - 72 - 76 - 80 - 84 - 88 - 92 - 96 - 100 - 104 - 108 - 112 - 116 - 120 - 126 - 132 - 138 - 144 - 152 - 160 - 168 - 176 - 184 - 192 - 200 - 208.
