| Bob Widlar's hassler circuit |

Since Bob Widlar's infamous "hassler" circuit was never published, I thought it would be fun to design and build my own version based on the various functional descriptions floating around the internet. It's pretty simple, just uses a few op amps, but some people here might enjoy it! There's a circuit description and demonstration video on my blog: http://www.analogzoo.com/2015/01/building-the-widlar-hassler/ Comments/suggestions welcome! |

Welcome to the forum, and that was a well done video, thanks for sharing. I watched it all the way through, and I didn't see the demonstration . Maybe it was always on, and I'm just too old to hear 15 - 20Khz anymore :( |

--- Quote ---There's a circuit description --- End quote --- U1a is a rectifier: its output goes up with the loudness sensed by the mic. U2 is a schemitt trigger: it turns on more with louder sound; U1b is an oscillator. Q1/Q2 are two power AND gates. |

Now build one using a microcontroller ;) |

It shouldn't be hard: 1) configure a high-frequency pwm generator. its output to a mosfet via a resistor; 2) configure a low-frequency pwm generator. its output to the joint of the mosfet + resistor; 2) adc the input and use it to control the duty cycle of the low-frequency pwm generator; 3) done. A 8pdip attiny should be sufficient. Or a 20 cent stm8. |
