Simple Transistor Tester


This is a simple circuit but we hope it will help you a lot and save your valuable time. You do not have to use millimeter to test a transistor if you build this circuit. You can have a 9 volts battery to operate the circuit. No matter if the transistor is NPN or PNP, if the transistor is shorted then no any LED should light. If the transistor is open Both the LED should light.

Now remember when you test a good PNP transistor then LED2 should light.
For NPN good transistor only LED1 should light.

Try to make the circuit on a PCB and put in a small box for its safety. Find a three pin socket and mounted it on the box. When you fix everything, only visible parts from the out side of the box should be the switch and three pins of the socket to test a transistor.

Pan Pot

A pan pot enables a mono-phonic input signal to be positioned where desired between the stereo loudspeakers. When P1 (see diagram) is in the center position, there is no attenuation or amplification between the input and output. When the control is turned away from the center position, the signal in one channel will be amplified 3 dB more than the other. Circuit IC1 at the input is a buffer stage. It is arranged as an inverter to ensure that the phase of the input signal is identical to that of the output signal. The input impedance is set by R1 (10 kΩ). The output of the buffer is applied to stereo amplifiers IC2 and IC3. A special arrangement here is the positioning of P1, in conjunction with R3, R4, R8, and R9, in the feedback circuits of both amplifiers. This means that any adjustment of the potentiometer will have opposite effects in the amplifiers.

Pan Pot Circuit DiagramSeries resistors R7 and R12 serve to ensure that the outputs can handle capacitive loads. Coupling capacitors C3, C6, and C9, may be omitted if an offset voltage of 20–30 mV is of no consequence in the relevant application. Capacitors C2, C5, and C8, ensure that the op amps remain stable even at unity gain. Capacitors C1, C4, and C7, minimize any r.f. interference, resulting in a usable bandwidth of 2.5 Hz to 200 kHz. The performance of the circuit is of sufficiently high quality to allow the pot being incorporated in good-quality control panels. Total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N) at a frequency of 1 kHz and a bandwidth of 22 kHz is 0.0014%. Over the band 20 Hz to 20 kHz and a bandwidth of 80 dB, this figure is still only 0.0023%. The circuit needs a power supply of ±18 V, from which it draws a current of about 16mA.

USB Powered PIC Programmer

This simple circuit can be used to program the PIC16F84 and similar "flash memory" type parts. It uses a cheap 555 timer IC to generate the programming voltage from a +5V rail, allowing the circuit to be powered from a computer’s USB port. The 555 timer (IC1) is configured as a free-running oscillator, with a frequency of about 6.5kHz. The output of the timer drives four 100nF capacitors and 1N4148 diodes wir-ed in a Cockroft-Walton voltage multiplier configuration.
Circuit diagram:

The output of the multiplier is switched through to the MCLR/Vpp pin of the PIC during programming via a 4N28 optocoupler. Diodes ZD1 and D5 between the MCLR/Vpp pin and ground clamp the output of the multiplier to about 13.6V, ensuring that the maximum input voltage (Vihh) of the PIC is not exceeded. A 100kΩ resistor pulls the pin down to a valid logic low level (Vil) when the optocoupler is not conducting. The circuit is compatible with the popular "JDM" programmer, so can be used with supporting software such as "ICProg" (see http://www.ic-prog.com).
