The excellent high input impedance, high slew rate, and high voltage qualities of CA3140 op-amp make it suitable for Wien-bridge sine wave oscillator. The basic circuit for Wien-bridge sine wave oscillator is shown in the figure below (the upper part). You can see the formula in the figure, when R1=R2=R, and C1=C2=C, then the formula would be a ve

ry simple and familiar f = 1/(2piRC), and the gain required for oscillation, AOSC, is equal to 3. If C2 is multiplied by a factor of four and R2 is divided by a factor of four, the gain required for oscillation becomes 1. 5, thus a potentially higher operating frequency closer to the gain bandwidth product of the CA3140 becomes possible. Here is the circuit`s schematic diagram: The oscillation stabilization should be done, and various methods has been implemented in practice. If this the gain is not stabilized the the oscillation will either diminish or increase until distorted terribly. The feedback element RS is usually replaced with some variable resistance element. Thus, using some control methods, the value of RS is dynamically adjusted to keep constant oscillator output. A thermistor, a FET channel resistance, a lamp bulb, or other device whose resistance increases as the output amplitude is increased are a few common elements that has been implemented for this purpose. The lower figure shows another method to stabilize the oscillator using a zener diode which shunt the feedback resistor to decrease the op-amp gain. The zener diode`s impedance will decrease as the output signal amplitude increases, resulting in more feedback with consequent reduction in gain, stabilizing the amplitude of the output signal. Using this method which employ a combination of monolithic zener diode and bridge rectifier circuit tends to...
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.....
