For a good valve sound, the operating point of the circuit should be set so that the audio output voltage is in the region of a few hundred millivolts up to around 1.5 V. If the valve sound converter is inserted between a preamplifier and the power amplifier, it should be before the volume control potentiometer as otherwise the sound will change significantly depending on the volume. As an example, no modifications are needed to an existing power amplifier if the converter is inserted between the output of a CD player and the input to the amplifier.

Comparing MOSFETs with BJTransistors Pros and Cons
For the many newcomers, mosfets can be confusing parameters compared to the traditional BJTs, simply because configuring them requires critical steps to be followed, not adhering to which mostly leads to permanent damage to these components.
The article here has been specifically presented with a view to explain in simple words regarding the many similarities and differences between these two very important active parts of the electronics family, and also regarding the pros and cons of the respective members.
Comparing Transistors with Mosfets
All of us are familiar with transistors and know that these basically have three leads, the base, the collector and the emitter.
The emitter is the exit route of the current applied to the base and the collector of a transistor.
The base requires in the order of 0.6 to 0.7V across it and the emitter for enabling switching of relatively higher voltages and currents across its collector and emitter.
Though 0.6V looks small, and is pretty much fixed, the current associated needs to be varied or rather increased in accordance to the load connected at the collector.
Meaning, if suppose you connect an LED with a 1K resistor at the collector of a transistor, you would probably need just 1 or 2 miiliamps at the base for making the LED glow.
However, if you connect a relay in place of the LED, you would require more than 30 milliamps at the base of the same transistor for operating it.
The above statements clearly proves that a transistor is a current driven component.
Unlike the above situation, a mosfet behaves entirely in the opposite way.
Comparing the base with the gate of the mosfet, the emitter with the source, and the collector with the drain, a mosfet would require at least 5V across its gate and source for enabling a load to be switched fully at its drain terminal.
5 volts might look massive compared to the transistors 0.6V needs, however one great thing about mosfets is that this 5V works with negligible current, irrespective of the connected load current, meaning it doesnt matter whether youve connected an LED, a relay, a stepper motor or an inverter transformer, the current factor at the gate of the mosfet becomes immaterial and may be as small as a few microamps.
That said, the voltage may need some elevation, may be upto 12V for mosfets at their gates, if the connected load is too high, in the order of 30 to 50 amps.
The above statements shows that a mosfet is a voltage driven component.
Since voltage is never a problem with any circuit, operating mosfets becomes much simpler and efficient especially when bigger loads are involved.
Bipolar Transistor Pros and Cons:
- Transistors are cheaper and does not require special attentions while handling.
- Transistors can be operated even with voltages as low as 1.5V.
- Have little chance of getting damaged, unless something drastic is done with the parameters.
- Require higher currents for triggering if the connected load is bigger, making it imperative for an intermediate driver stage, making things much complex.
- The above drawback makes it unsuitable for interfacing with CMOS or TTL outputs directly, in case the collector load is relatively higher.
- Have negative temperature coefficient, and therefore requires special care while connecting more numbers in parallel.
MOSFET Pros and Cons:
- Requires negligible current for triggering, regardless of the load current magnitude, therefore becomes compatible with all types of input sources. Especially when CMOS ICs are involved, mosfets readily "shake hands" with the such low current inputs.
- These devices are positive temperature coefficient, meaning more mosfets can be added in parallel without the fear of a thermal runaway situation.
- Mosfets are comparatively costlier and needs to be handled with care, especially while soldering. As these are sensitive to static electricity, adeqaye specified precautions become necessary.
- Mosfets generally require at least 3v for triggering so cannot be used for voltages lower than this value.
- These are relatively sensitive components, little negligence with the precautions can lead to an instant damage to the part.

Simple RF Detector For 2M
circuit helps you sniff out RF radiation leaking from your transmitter,
improper joints, a broken cable or equipment with poor RF shielding.
The tester is designed for the 2-m amateur radio band (144-146 MHz in
Europe). The instrument has a 4-step LED readout and an audible alarm
for high radiation voltages. The RF signal is picked up by an antenna
and made to resonate by C1-L1. After rectifying by diode D1, the signal
is fed to a two-transistor high-gain Darlington amplifier, T2-T3.
Assuming
that a 10-inch telescopic antenna is used, the RF level scale set up
for the LEDs is as follows: When all LEDs light, the (optional) UM66
sound/melody generator chip (IC1) is also actuated and supplies an
audible alarm. By changing the values of zener diodes D2, D4, D6 and D8,
the step size and span of the instrument may be changed as required.
For operation in other ham or PMR bands, simply change the resonant
network C1-L1. As an example, a 5-watt handheld transceiver fitted with a
half-wave telescopic antenna (G=3.5dBd), will produce an ERP
(effective radiated power) of almost 10 watts and an e.m.f. of more
than 8 volts close to your head.
Inductor
L1 consists of 2.5 turns of 20SWG (approx. 1mm dia) enameled copper
wire. The inside diameter is about 7mm and no core is used. The
associated trimmer capacitor C1 is tuned for the highest number of LEDs
to light at a relatively low fieldstrength put up by a 2-m transceiver
transmitting at 145 MHz. The tester is powered by a 9-V battery and
draws about 15mA when all LEDs are on. It should be enclosed in a metal
case.

Mini Amplifier 80 mW
This circuit is similar to the one above but uses positive feedback to get a little more amplitude to the speaker. I copied it from a small 5 transistor radio that uses a 25 ohm speaker. In the circuit above, the load resistor for the driver transistor is tied directly to the + supply. This has a disadvantage in that as the output moves positive, the drop across the 470 ohm resistor decreases which reduces the base current to the top NPN transistor. Thus the output cannot move all the way to the + supply because there wouldnt be any voltage across the 470 resistor and no base current to the NPN transistor.
This circuit corrects the problem somewhat and allows a larger voltage swing and probably more output power, but I dont know how much without doing a lot of testing. The output still wont move more than a couple volts using small transistors since the peak current wont be more than 100mA or so into a 25 ohm load. But its an improvement over the other circuit above.
In this circuit, the 1K load resistor is tied to the speaker so that as the output moves negative, the voltage on the 1K resistor is reduced, which aids in turning off the top NPN transistor. When the output moves positive, the charge on the 470uF capacitor aids in turning on the top NPN transistor.
The original circuit in the radio used a 300 ohm resistor where the 2 diodes are shown but I changed the resistor to 2 diodes so the amp would operate on lower voltages with less distortion. The transistors shown 2n3053 and 2n2905 are just parts I used for the other circuit above and could be smaller types. Most any small transistors can be used, but they should be capable of 100mA or more current. A 2N3904 or 2N3906 are probably a little small, but would work at low volume.
The 2 diodes generate a fairly constant bias voltage as the battery drains and reduces crossover distortion. But you should take care to insure the idle current is around 10 to 20 milliamps with no signal and the output transistors do not get hot under load.
The circuit should work with a regular 8 ohm speaker, but the output power may be somewhat less. To optimize the operation, select a resistor where the 100K is shown to set the output voltage at 1/2 the supply voltage (4.5 volts). This resistor might be anything from 50K to 700K depending on the gain of the transistor used where the 3904 is shown.
Build LED Light Pen Schematic
LEDs have a much longer life than bulbs and the latest ultra bright white ones also offer higher energy-to-light conversion efficiency. On the down side, LEDs require a small electronic helper circuit called ‘constant-current source’ to get the most out of them.
LED Light Pen Circuit Diagram
Here, T1 and R1 switch on the LED. R2 acts as a current sensor with T2 shunting off (most of) T1’s base bias current when the voltage developed across R2 exceeds about 0.65 V. The constant current through the white LED is calculated from
R2 = 0.65 / ILED
With some skill the complete circuit can be built such that its size is equal to an AA battery. The four button cells take the place of the other AA battery that used to be inside the light pen. Link

Car Alarm Sound Booster
Door Alarm Circuit
Hangs up on the door-handle Beeps when someone touches the door-handle from outside
This circuit emits a beep and/or illuminates a LED when someone touches the door-handle from the outside. The alarm will sound until the circuit will be switched-off.
The entire circuit is enclosed in a small plastic or wooden box and should be hanged-up to the door-handle by means of a thick wire hook protruding from the top of the case.
A wide-range sensitivity control allows the use of the Door Alarm over a wide variety of door types, handles and locks. The device has proven reliable even when part of the lock comes in contact with the wall (bricks, stones, reinforced concrete), but does not work with all-metal doors. The LED is very useful during setup.

Circuit operation:
Q1 forms a free-running oscillator: its output bursts drive Q2 into saturation, so Q3 and the LED are off. When part of a human body comes in contact with a metal handle electrically connected to the wire hook, the body capacitance damps Q1 oscillations, Q2 biasing falls off and the transistor becomes non conducting. Therefore, current can flow into Q3 base and D3 illuminates. If SW1 is closed, a self-latching circuit formed by Q4 & Q5 is triggered and the beeper BZ1 is activated.
When the human body part leaves the handle, the LED switches-off but the beeper continues to sound, due to the self-latching behavior of Q4 & Q5. To stop the beeper action, the entire circuit must be switched-off opening SW2. R3 is the sensitivity control, allowing to cope with a wide variety of door types, handles and locks.
Notes:
- L1 is formed winding 20 to 30 turns of 0.4mm. diameter enameled copper wire on R2 body and soldering the coil ends to the resistor leads. You should fill R2 body completely with coil winding: the final turns number can vary slightly, depending on different 1 or 2W resistor types actual length (mean dimensions for these components are 13 - 18mm. length and 5 - 6mm. diameter).
- The hook is made from non-insulated wire 1 - 2mm. diameter (brass is well suited). Its length can vary from about 5 to 10cm. (not critical).
- If the device is moved frequently to different doors, Trimmer R3 can be substituted by a common linear potentiometer fitted with outer knob for easy setup.
- To setup the device hang-up the hook to the door-handle (with the door closed), open SW1 and switch-on the circuit. Adjust R3 until the LED illuminates, then turn slowly backwards the screwdriver (or the knob) until the LED is completely off. At this point, touching the door-handle with your hand the LED should illuminate, going off when the hand is withdrawn. Finally, close SW1 and the beeper will sound when the door-handle will be touched again, but will not stop until SW2 is opened.
- In regular use, it is advisable to hang-up and power-on the device with SW1 open: when all is well settled, SW1 can be closed. This precautionary measure is necessary to avoid unwanted triggering of the beeper.

AUDIO POWER METER WITH LM3915
This VU (volume-unit) meter is capable of monitoring anddisplaying power
levels present at the speaker terminals ofan stereo audio power
amplifier.
The levels are displayed in ten discrete steps. This meter is not
designed to give an accurate display of the power levels.It is designed
to give an approximate visual indication of the audio power output of
each channel. For many situations - disco, parties - this is all which
is required: the flashing LED's add atmosphere to the situation.
LM3915. This is a monolithic Dot/Bar Display Driver IC made by National
Semiconductor. It takes an analog voltage input on pin 5 then drives 10
LED's providing a logarithmic 3dB/step analog display. When measuring
power, a 3dB increase means that the power input has doubled. As the
power doubles, an additional LED will be lit until the maximum is
reached. The display can be bar or moving dot depending on the
connection of pin 9 to the positive supply. The LED drive current is
regulated which eliminates the need for current limiting resistors.
The supply voltage can be between 3V to 25V. You can download the data sheet from the National Semiconductor website at: http://www.national.com/
The IC is suited to signals with a wide dynamic range such as audio,
power, light intensity. In many applications a bargraph meter is faster,
more rugged and has higher visibility than an analog (moving coil) or
LCD meter.
