A Transformerless Power Supply

This circuit will supply up to about 20ma at 12 volts. It uses capacitive reactance instead of resistanceso it doesn't generate very much heat. The circuit was designed to provide a cheap, compact power supply for Cmos logic circuits that require only a few milliamps. The logic circuits were then used to control mains equipment, using an optically-isolated triac.

HIGH PASS ACTIVE FILTER COLLECTION

Image
This is a collection of inverting and non-inverting active high pass filter circuits.  I included one, two three, four and six pole filter circuits.  You can change the component value ratios shown to achieve any frequency cut-off you may need. The circuit does not specify an operational Amplifier.  The circuits should be used to select the needed resistor and capacitor components for a particular frequency knee and  slope.

60Hz Notch Filter

Image
High input impedance Amplifiers are ideal for buffering high impedance networks. Here a twin-T notch filter is shown to reject 60Hz signal content by more the 60dB. Small size, low valued capacitors can be used at such a low frequency with high valued resistors when using a CMOS op Amp…
