Averager and Peak Hold/Extender Signal Conditioner

A signal averager circuit can be formed by an amplifier and active signal rectifier, which is implemented using two operational amplifiers in this circuit. The first op-amp is configured as inverting amplifier and the second forms an active half-wave rectifier. The half cycle signal is then filtered by an RC (resistor-capacitor) filter to get the average value. The gain of […]

Simple IR Remote Tester

Most cases of infra-red remote control failure can be detected by detecting the absence of the pulsed transmitted infra red light. It’s very rare that the remote control fail while it is still capable of transmitting the infrared pulse.  This condition enable such a very simple tester is easy to build. A simple infrared detector with ac coupling and simple […]
