220V live wire-in-wall scanner

Catagory : Other test circuits
This little circuit will help you to scan the line of a 220V live wire in the wall. The FET gate is connected to a capacitive metal sensor (which is usually a simple metal plate). When you hold the sensor close to the wall, the LED will indicate the current flow around where it detects the wire. Works on 9VDC. [...]

Broken Charger-connection Alert

Catagory : Indicator, Other test circuits
The circuit is inserted between the supply and the load, therefore, until a trickle-charging current of at least 100µA is flowing towards the load, D1 and D2 will conduct. The forward voltage drop (about 1V) available across the Diodes, drives Q2 into conduction and, consequently, Q1 will be cut-off.If no appreciable load is connected across the circuit’s output, Q2 will become cut-off, Q1 will conduct and the Piezo-sounder will beep.

NTSC Test Signal Generator

Catagory : Other test circuits, Video Signal Generator, Video circuits
This signal generator uses a three channel DAC to generate Composite video signal (CVBS) and S video signal (Y/C separated) at the same time, left one channel is not used in NTSC format. It is assigned for one of the color components of Y/CB/CR video format. This feature was not planned some years ago, but it has been added when started to draw the schematic this year, because NTSC television system might be obsoleted in the near future. The two different video format, component video and NTSC video, work in exclusive. [...]

Two LEDs perform rudimentary spectral analysis

Catagory : Other test circuits
This circuit use to measurement the different wavelengths of a pair of LEDs to stimulus for a rudimentary spectral analysis during quality-control sorting operations. By measuring the reflectance of each LED which can provide information about the spectral response of the object under test. The circuit’s operation is akin to the human eye’s using three receptors to deduce information about the entire visible spectrum. [...]
