2 transistor FM transmitter / FM bug - VOYAGER is a super-sensitive FM Radio microphone developed by Talking Electronics. The components are all common types of resistors, capacitors and transistors matched so well in this circuit that amazing sensitivity and distance are obtained. The name VOYAGER was given to it "because it goes so far". We have re-designed the Board and further matched some components to suit the needs of the classroom. The result is a superb bug which is compact but powerful, and quite easy to build__ CdS Electronic
2 Transistor LED Flasher - This 1.5 volt LED fasher runs more than a year on a single 'd" cell and alternately flashes 2 LEDs at about a 1 second rate. The circuit employs a 74HC14 CMOS
hex inverter that will operate at very low voltages (less than 1 volt). One section is used as a squarewave oscillator (pins 1 and 2) , while the others are wired to produce a short 10mS pulse on alternate edges of the square wave so the LEDs will alternate back and forth. The output sections each use a capacitor charge pump to increase the voltage for the LEDs __ Designed by Bill Bowden

2 Transistor LED Flasher - This is a classic 2 transistor astable multivibrator. Many other NPN small signal or switching transistors can be used, including 2N4401, PN2222 or 2N2222 using the circuit on the left. The circuit can also be inverted using PNP transistors. __ Designed by Bill's Electronics Reference Library
2 Transistor LED Flasher 1 - Circuit Only __ Designed by Tony van Roon VA3AVR
2 Transistor LED Flasher 2 - This circuit will flash a super-bright LED (5000+ mcd). Good for fake car alarm or other attention getting device. Component values are not critical, try anything else first from your junkbox. Obviously, the 470 ohm resistor (R3) determines the LEDs brightness and limits the current flow to about 20mA.390 ohm can also be used as a save value. if you decide to go with a green or yellow led, which draw more current, you may want to replace the 470 ohm with an appropriate value. Flash rate is determined by R2 and C1 __ Designed by Tony van Roon VA3AVR

2 transistor replaces IC - 02/07/02 EDN Design Ideas: Linear Technology's recently introduced LTC4300 chip buffers i2C clock and data lines to and from a hot-swappable card. This task is difficult because the IC must work bidirectionally, meaning that you can simultaneously and actively drive both side as. However, as is sometimes the case, you can replace a complicated circuit by a simple one without much loss of performance Design by Jim Hagerman, Hagerman Technology, Honolulu, HI

2-Transistor Amplifier - it has been interesting analyzing these radios. You have to give the Japanese credit for even making a radio that can drive a speaker with only 2 transistors!

3-transistor current source covers wide range - 05/31/14 EDN Design Ideas: This Design idea is a two-wire current regulator that strikes a good balance between performance and parts count. Employing three transistors, three resistors, and one LED, it achieves good regulation (better than 1% over most of the voltage range) , lower operating voltage (1.2V typical) , and better tempco (0.07%/K) than other circuits of similar complexity. it is designed to operate in a range of currents from tens of milliamperes to several amps. it does not use any hard to find parts; for example: an LM10 can be used to make an even higher performance circuit, but this IC is not multi-sourced and is likely to be discontinued.
