Class A Mosfet Headphone Amplifier

November 24, 2008 By: admin Category: Audio, analog, electronic, project No Comments →

This is a simple and low cost desktop headphone amplifier for the office. The amplifier concept is simple and follows a typical single-ended class A circuit utilizing an active constant current source (CCS) in place of a passive resistor. A CCS doubles the efficiency of the circuit over that where a passive load resistor is used, bringing it to a maximum of 25%. (more…)

Cheap Shortwave Transmitter
This is a really cheap and probably illegal shortwave transmitter, don’t build it. It just feeds the output from an LM386 audio amplifier directly into the power pin of a crystal oscillator can to produce AM-modulated shortwave radio frequencies. This works better than one might expect — this particular oscillator seems to provide a stable waveform with voltages anywhere from 2.0v to 5.0v!
