It’s more than one month now since I updated my last post and I regret that I couldn’t post anything within that length of time. This is due to the nature of my job. We left Tilbury last month and now we transferred here in Bremerhaven shipyard and our ship is still being dry docked [...]
Sound Card Oscilloscope
sound card scope 1.32 As an electronic hobbyist, I always wanted to own a sound generator good enough as signal source for my audio test needs. Since most audio test instruments available are expensive and some are bulky to occupy my work bench, my options have been narrowed down when I came across on the [...]
Bias scheme for 555 timer as class d amp
I’m almost in the process of preparing another article to post but my attention was diverted again to the previous 555 timer circuits I made. I simply couldn’t afford to leave the circuit that way. I am concerned that by changing the 2N3904 with the same type of transistor but of different hfe, the duty [...]

Full bridge class d amp using 555 timer
Ok, I’ve been so busy for the past few weeks and I couldn’t make a follow-up from the last article of the 555 timer circuit. So here is another improvised model circuit that will eliminate the unwanted DC offset voltage from the output that affect the previous one discussed. By the way, all previous circuits [...]
Class D amp made easy with 555 timer IC
This is a continuation of my previous article regarding class d amp using 555 timer chip. Looking back to several schematics on that article, some of you may wonder why I include another 555 as U2 in the drawing. The main purpose of this U2 is to establish constant frequency trigger on pin 2 of [...]
