Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
Improve the quality of standard TV images  -  I designed this circuit many years ago, based on the claims that the technique would improve the quality of standard TV images.  The circuit adds information to the edges of the objects and was reported to bring out more detail.  After building and testing . . . Hobby Circuit designed by David A. Johnson P.E.-July 08, 2000

Infrared TV/VCR Remote Booster  -  This circuit will boost the signal from any infrared TV or VCR remote, extending the range by a factor of 3X.   . . . Circuit by Dave Johnson P.E.-October 05, 2005

IR TV/VCR Remote Booster  -  This circuit will boost the signal from any infrared TV or VCR remote, extending the range by a factor of 3X.   . . . Hobby Circuit designed by David Johnson P.E.-October 05, 2005

Low Pass Filter, 3Khz, with an Audio Amp  -  This circuit uses a switched capacitor filter IC from National Semiconductor to filter signals with frequencies higher than the 3KHz needed for voice audio.  The schematic includes an audio amplifier that is designed to drive a standard audio head phone . . . Hobby Circuit designed by Dave Johnson P.E.-June 04, 2000

Microphone On/Off Switch Circuit is Pop Free  -  This circuit uses a simple technique to eliminate the usual “pop” sound when an electret type microphone is switched on or off.  The circuit is completely passive and will work on dynamic and electret type microphones . . .

Four-Transistor Transmitter -  4 Transistor Transmitter + Parts Lits + Notes __ Designed by Paul C. Sherby

Full Duplex Audio Line -  This full duplex audio line circuit enables two audio signals in opposing directions to flow simultaneously through a common twisted pair line.  And it does that without complicated communication technology.  This technique called full duplex is not really new.  It is common in telephone technology.  However, the telephone uses a __ Designed by Popescu Marian

FXBus-an Effects Experimenter's Delight! -  Like to build guitar effects? Want a cleaner way to experiment than perfboarding each new one? You'll love FXBus __ Designed by © 1999 R.G. Keen

GAINCLONE -  Gainclone is a single integrated circuit based on an operational amplifier (op amp) on a single substrate of silicon.  The LM3875 is the "weapon of choice".  This great chip, is a little larger than the size of a thumbnail and can deliver up to 56W RMS continuous with 100W __ Designed by Michael LaLena

Gainclone 2x68 Watt Full Amplifier -  In this application, we are building a gaincard like amplifier.  This application type is named gainclone in audio world.  To take a satisfactory audio response, we are adding a Linkwitz equaliser to the feedback line and adding bass compensation also.  We are using LM3886

Gainclone Amp -  You read where the subjective reviewer tells of the equipment vanishing and revealing the music unfettered.  Well for the first time with any of mine or anyone else's gear that this is what I hear.  There are no speakers there is just the music.  A soundstage projecting from the wall behind __ Designed by Michael LaLena

GainClone Amplifier 1 -  The amp is based on the Project 19 PCB, so uses a pair of LM3876 (or LM3886) power opamps, run from a ±35V supply.  I used a cut-down P88 preamp PCB because I only wanted one preamplifier stage, but the entire board can also be used.  Alternatively, . __ Designed by Rod Elliott  ESP

Gainclone for the PC Age -  Audio input comes from either the Line-Out of the PC or an external sound card (described later).  A small filter consisting of 680Ω/47pF excludes any RF signals from entering the case.470nF input capacitor should have a high voltage rating since it protects against line voltages being connected to the amplifier, since it is in the signal path it should be a high quality type __ Designed by Malcolm Rix

GCSE Amplifier -  A really old project, although not the first amplifier I built by any means! It's not pretty inside, but it worked well for many years. __ Designed by Mark Hennessy

Good IR Detector -  How to build a simple IR detector, schematics and alternate links __ Designed by DC Reagan

Grace / Big Daddy -  A few months ago, Aron Nelson released the Smash Drive.  The circuit ingeniously used an LM386 audio power amp chip to produce great distortion sounds.  Aron based his work on that of Tim Escobedo.  Tim's Stupidity Box was another great sounding unit and beautifully simplistic.  The Smokey Amp by Bruce Zinky was another design that used a 386 for some great sounds. __ Contact: holler @ runoffgroove.Com

Guitar Effect -  Fuzz is one of the classic guitar effects, and this simple circuit generates it quite well.  The circuit is so compact that it can be built into guitars or amps that do not have built in fuzz to add that capability to the instrument.  The circuit does not use much battery power, so a standard alkaline battery will last many years even with daily use. __ Designed by Aaron Cake

Guitar Effect Pedal Power -  A friend of mine plays guitar with several guitar effect pedals.  He had a problem with battery eliminators and cables of the pedals cluttering the stage and so he asked for __ Electronics Projects for You

HeadBanger Headphone Amp -  After the euphoria over receiving my new Sony Minidisc bundle had partially subsided, I noticed that the portable unit, the MZ-E40, has a rather weak output.  Measurements showed that it can only manage 80mV rms output and only about 74dB SPL output from the phones.  This is when recording at average level with 8dB of headroom.  In contrast, an orchestra __ Stephen H.
