In this circuit, V+ can be anywhere from 4 to 16V. -V is one volt less than V+. So, for -12V output, use +13V input. The maximum current output of the circuit is about 280mA, more than enough for a few op amps. For better regulation, a 79LOxx series regulator can be used. A zener diode may also be used to regulate the output voltage.

Simple Galvanometer Circuit

This circuit is design for galvanometer circuit. According to Wikipedia.org, a galvanometer is an analog electromechanical transducer to be used for detecting and measuring electric current (ammeter). In this circuit design, the voltage across Rm and Rv is the same because they are in parallel. The resistor Rv is a variable resistor. Here’s the figure of the circuit;

Simple R/C Circuit

Here’s a design circuit for a very easy and efficient receiver for actuating garage doors, starter motors, alarms, warning systems and numerous some other possibilities. This is the figure of the circuit;

In this circuit specifies a whip or wire antenna which just indicates a solid piece of wire 6-12 inches long (15-30cm). The antenna coil is experiments, however you can start with ten to 12 turns of #22 (0.7mm) magnet wire, and 5/16" (8mm) coil diameter. Antenna wire is soldered at 1/2 turn of the coil and the gate of the BRY35 is soldered about halfway the coil. This circuit will transmit as much as 100-feet with the above specs @ 30uA. The relay coil is specify as much as 200 ohm but that's just the one I had in stock. Any low-ohm relay, even at 9V or so, ought to accomplish the task. And one remaining note, do not be expecting too a lot from this circuit. The "Very Easy R/C Circuit" is simply that; Easy!

The BRY35 is really an classic semiconductor produced by Philips. A great replacement would be the EC103D1, also produced by Philips (see pin-out picture for this device). NTE Semiconductors gives an alternative of NTE5405, but I have not attempted it. I think, a NTE5400 (30V) or NTE5401 (60V) will function just also. The NTE5405 is a bit overkill at 400V.
