Cheap And Cheerful Transistor Tester

By using a simple visual indicating system, this small transistor tester allows you to run a quick ‘go/non-go’ check on NPN as well as PNP transistors. If the device under test is a working NPN then the green LED (D1) will flash, while the red counterpart will flash for a functional PNP device. However if the transistor is shorted, both LEDs will flash, and an open-circuit device will cause the LEDs to remain off. The circuit is based on just one CD4011B quad NAND gate IC, four passive parts and two LEDs. The fourth gate in the IC is not used and its inputs should be grounded.

Alternatively, you may want to connect its inputs and output in parallel with IC1.C to increase its drive power to the transistor test circuit. IC1.A and IC1.B together with R2, R3 and C1 form an oscillator circuit that generates a low-frequency square wave at pin 4. This signal is applied to the emitter of the transistor under test as well as to inverter IC1.C. The inverted signal from IC1.C and the oscillator output then drive the test circuit (LEDs, device under test, R1) in such a away that the voltage across that part of the circuit is effectively reversed all the time.

For example, with an NPN transistor under test, when pin 10 is High and pin 4, Low, current flows through LED D1 and the forward biased transistor. However, no current will flow when pins 10 and 4 change states, since the transistor is then reverse-biased. The green LED, D1, will therefore flash at the rate determined by the oscillator. As you would expect to happen, a PNP transistor will be forward biased when pin 10 is Low and 4, High, enabling current to flow through the red LED in that case.

A supply rail of around 3 V (two series connected 1.5-V batteries) should be adequate. To prevent damage to the transistor under test, supply voltages higher than 4.5 V should not be used. Because the LED currents are effectively limited to a few mA by the output of IC1.C (also slightly dependent on the supply voltage), it is recommended to use high-efficiency devices for D1 and D2.

BASIC ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC CIRCUITS

Power and energy are two terms that are often misused. Energy can bethought of as the ability to do work, and it has units such as joules or Btu. Power, on the other hand, is the rate at which energy is generated or used, and therefore it has rate units such as joules/sor Btu/h. There is often confusion about the units for electrical power and energy. Electrical power is measured in watts, which isarate(1J/s=1 watt), so electrical energy is watts multiplied by time—for example, watt-hours. Be careful not to say”watts per hour,”which is incorrect (eventhoughyou will see this all too often in newspapers or magazines).

LM317 Using to Power Supply and Audio Amplifier Circuit

This circuit in the figure is designed to help if you must transfer dc power and audio over a pair of copper wires. One application for such a circuit is a low-cost door-opening system with speech input. The circuit uses only one IC, the well known LM317, a low-cost power supply regulator. Using this chip, you can modulate the adjustment-pin input with the audio signal from an electrets condenser microphone, connected between the output and the adjustment terminals of the IC. The LM317 regulates the output in such a way that the voltage on the microphone is always 1.25V dc.


This circuit uses a WM34 electrets microphone, which comes in a standard 10-mm capsule from Panasonic and is common in low-cost equipment. You can use nearly any electrets capsule, because the well-regulated voltage on the microphone never exceeds 1.25V.

The principle work is every electrets capsule contains an integrated JFET based impedance converter that translates speech into a current flowing from the source to the drain terminal. This current through the microphone modulates the voltage on the variable resistor, RP. Because the output of the LM317 must follow the voltage on RP, you obtain a low-impedance audio signal riding on the output dc voltage. The microphone directly modulates the adjustment pin, so a smoothing capacitor, such as C1, for noise and hum does not influence the level of the audio signal. C1 shunts some of the audio signal to ground, but the LM317 compensates for the loss with internal gain. To avoid excessive losses in the LM317, use a capacitor with as low a value as possible. The circuit works well without a capacitor, but values as high as 47F do not present a problem. Using RP, you can adjust the dc output voltage and the gain for the microphone signal. For proper operation, the LM317 needs to deliver a minimum current of 4 mA from its output terminal. If your design uses no loudspeaker, you can connect a load resistor to sink this 4 mA. Designs using low-impedance loudspeakers must also have load resistors. You must add the ac current in the audio signal to the minimum current requirement of 4 mA. For an 8 loudspeaker, you need a minimum resistive load of 470_ to avoid distortion.
