Nifty Circuits

Just a collection of circuits I think are nifty.

Table of Contents

Frequency Doublers

A neat frequency doubler. One drawback is that is doesn't work super great when the incoming duty cycle is not close to 50%. (Fasltad sim)

Absolute Value Circuits

A simple single op amp absolute value circuit. But only good if it will be driving a high impedance. Otherwise, you still need a buffer to use it.

A dual op amp absolute value circuit that I've seen around.

NiMH Battery Charging

Basic concept of a NiMH battery charger.

Addition of a "charge complete" indicator LED.

Adding hysteresis and bypassing caps.
