What is an OP-AMP? An operation amplifier (Op-Amp) is basically a multistage, high gain (Av>105) direct-coupled amplifier with two differential inputs and a single-ended output and which uses feedback to control its overall response characteristics. It may be used to perform numerous linear operations and some nonlinear operations. An important feature of the operational amplifier is that by simply changing the feedback impedance, its operation may be altered. A modern Op-Amp uses integrated circuit technology. The IC Op Amps are widely used as versatile, predictable, accurate, and economical system building…

Bisection method is an iterative method used for the solution of non-linear equations, also known as binary chopping or half-interval method. Bisection method is based on the repeated application of the intermediate value property. It means if f(x) is continuous in the interval [a, b] and f(a) and f(b) have different sign then the equation f(x) = 0 has at least one root between x = a and x = b. This method is most reliable and simplest iterative method for solution of nonlinear equation. a < x < b…
Read MoreEight Channel Audio Mixture with Multiple Control
Here is simple circuit of eight channel audio mixture with multiple control using IC TDA 1524A and 747 to mix eight individual sound. The PCB for soldering side and component side is also given. The conventional sound systems involved recording of sounds from several musical instruments, each played by different musicians using only a single microphone. Then, in order to balance the sound tone, they had to alter the positions of musicians according to the microphone. Due to which people started to record directly to stereo master tape. However that…

In the article Gearbox Troubleshooting, the common faults of the gearbox will be discussed and suitable remedies suggested. Noisy operation of the gearbox | Gearbox Troubleshooting There may be two different cases i.e., the noisy running when the vehicle is stationary or when it is running in various gears. Stationary running This noise may be due to any or more of the following reasons: The bearings may be worn out in which case they will have to replace. Countershaft may be worn, bent or have large end play. This has…
Read MoreSingle Phasing Preventer Circuit
If we have been familiar with machinery, we all know how important it is to follow safety measures to mitigate injuries and accidents. A single phasing preventer circuit is one of the solutions we can look forward to. The phrase ‘preventer circuit’ itself portrays it. The single-phase preventer circuit is also a high low and unbalanced-supply voltage cut-off relay. To ensure complete safety for 3-phase machinery, the preventer circuit has been known to be handy. Generally, an induction motor burns out due to excessive voltage during an off-hour, a very…
