Although the ubiquitous LM386 IC was designed to be used as an audio amplifier, it has a number of undocumented characteristics that can be exploited to create simple radio receiver circuits that ...
The bipolar NE555 timer IC is widely used in inductorless dc-dc converters, most frequently in doubling and inverting converters. However, another very popular IC, the LM386 audio amplifier, may be a ...
Sometimes it is necessary to split a single power supply in two or more parts which are not necessarily equal. This is the case with 6-, 12-, 15-, 24-, 36- or 48-V power supplies from dry batteries or ...
