Practical Audio Amplifier Circuit Projects builds on the introduction to electronic circuits provided in Singmin's innovative and successful first book, Beginning Electronics Through Projects. Both books draw on the author's many years of experience as electronics professional and as hobbyist. As a result, his project descriptions are lively, practical, and very clear. With this new volume, the reader can build relatively simple systems and achieve useable results quickly. The projects included here allow a hobbyist to build amplifier circuits, test them, and then put them into a system. Progress through a graduated series of learning activities culminates in unique devices that are nevertheless easy to build. Learn the basic building blocks of audio amplifier circuit design and then apply your knowledge to your own audio inventions. Targets the intermediate to advanced reader with challenging projects that teach important circuit theories and principles Provides a ready source of audio circuits to professional audio engineers Includes an electric guitar pacer project that lets you "jam" with your favorite band!

A Compilation of 98 tested Electronic Construction Projects and Circuit Ideas for Professionals and Enthusiasts

110 Integrated Circuit Projects for the Home Constructor, Second Edition (Completely Revised) describes five types of linear integrated circuits and 110 projects in which these can be utilized. The book describes the typical characteristics of the 741 op-amp (with open-loop voltage gain, input impedance) and the variety of ways where it can be used in basic linear amplifier applications. The type 555 timer is designed for precision timing applications, monostable multivibrator, astable multivibrator, and Schmitt trigger applications. The XR-2206 i.c. can be used by the technician as a simple waveform generator or as a complex function generator with a variety of modulation facilities. The LM380 i.c. is an easy-to use general-purpose power audio amplifier. The technician can use it as simple non-inverting 2W amplifier, or in conjunction with a single bipolar transistor, as a small baby alarm. The 723 voltage regulator i.c. can be used in a variety of fixed or variable voltage power supply applications. It can be used as a low voltage (2-7.2V) regulator and, if the technician modifies the circuit, it can produce variable output voltages. The book is suitable for engineers, apprentices, technicians, and students of electrical engineering or electronics.
