Other Circuit Diagrams

All sorts of circuits and ideas collected over the years, including some personal designs retained here as a record..

2020 - Four Channel Solar Lights

This circuit implements a four channel solar powered lighting system as an alternative power source in parallel with a 240 supply system.

1978 - Reverse RIAA Plug Box

This circuit implements a passive reverse RIAA filter and is useful for testing phono preamplifiers. The expected and measured frequency responses are included on the diagram.

1978 - Balanced transformerless pre-amp

This preamp mimics the output characteristics of a transformer isolated output by maintaining gain when one of the outputs is grounded. The version 2 circuit includes an additional op-amp to buffer and isolate the gain control feedback loop.

1977 - 6-bit Delta coder

This circuit implements a 6-bit Delta coder that converts an analogue (audio) input into a 6-bit digital code that tracks the movement of the analogue signal.

1971 - Multi-switch light circuits

These circuits show how to wire 2, 3 or more switches to control a single light. Two switch circuits are typically used to provide a switch at either end of a hallway. Three or more switches are typically used to provide a switch at each entrance of a large room or hall.
