  1. What capacitor to use?

    Hello, I can't find anything about what capacitor to supply to a circuit. And why to supply it to a circuit. If I e.g have a circuit with a battery and a led, the battey is 3.2v, and the led's forward voltage is 2v, and the current limit is 20mA to the led. Oh, and what happens when a capacitor...
  2. What is wrong with my transformer output?

    The thing is, I was trying to regulate a 220V-9V to 5 volt. I did it though. Everything was right.I was trying to make a dark sensor with NOT gate () The settings are good. But it wasn't working fine with the AC to DC adapter.( It is working fine with a battery like the video). The thing is...
  3. How to stop 555 IC from heating up?

    I was trying to make a LED flasher with 555 IC. Then I thought how about I set a transformer with the output-ground pins. And I also reduced the resistance between 7 and 6 pin. And I am getting a 31V AC output from my transformer output panel. Looks like it is possible to make an inverter with...
  4. How to use a TDA7052 IC properly?

    After a massive crash on LM386 I moved on to TDA7052. This is a very good IC so far. I want to make sound boxes and sell them. That is why I want to know more info than datasheet if available. I have some questions though: 1. How to secure the connection to reduce noise? 2. How to protect the IC...
  5. Is it safe to use a 5V-1A USB(Samsung mobile) charger for lm386?

    Hello everyone, A brother from my hometown told me to make a mini amplifier that can pull the power out from a USB charger(or PC USB). I happened to working on a logic gate IC and burned the IC while using a USB(power bank) charger. I want to know is it safe to use a 5V-1A charger to power the...
  6. How to increase bass on speaker?

    I have a 8ohm 30W speaker and lm386. I don't know much about the internal structures of lm386. I want only bass sounds(frequencies) in that speaker. How can I do that? And I also want to know how to smoothen the high frequency sounds?

    2 Pulses to 1 Pulse generator with higher current

    Hi, I am new to this forum and really don't know how it works. I have a request - I am looking for a pulse generator that generates 1 pulse for every 2 pulses it receives and also boost the current from 150 mA to 300 mA. Is there any off the shelf circuit that I can buy ?. The pulses generated...
