In summary: A Colpitts oscillator is a simple and adjustable way to create a sine wave, and you can then use transistors to turn it into AC current. However, if you want a more precise and tested schematic, you may need to wait for someone else to answer.

hello world. i am interested in a simple inverter circuit that would also be easily adjustable, i.e. frequency, amplitude. but i want to build using most general discrete circuit elements. NO integrated circuits NO comparators NO etc... just inductor, capacitor, resistor, DC supply ( any volt any amount of energy ), diode etc.. can you suggest anything. By the way i built that flashing led circuit using 555( not to be used in this circuit :) ), thanks to all who helped ;)

Depends on what you want to get.
If you just want to see a sine wave, then you can put it together from the pieces.

I.e. make a sine wave generator - a Colpitts oscillator is an easy enough approximation and can be adjustable to any frequency - then connect it's output to a switching pair of transistors to turn the oscillator's signal into AC current.

Very roughly, it will look like this:

If you want to power something with the resulting AC or get a precise and tested schematic, then wait for someone else to answer. :)

What are you wanting to power with your sine wave?
 

1. What is a DC to Sine Inverter Circuit?

A DC to Sine Inverter Circuit is an electronic circuit that converts a direct current (DC) input into an alternating current (AC) output with a sine wave shape. This type of circuit is commonly used in power supply systems to convert DC power from batteries or solar panels to AC power for household appliances.

2. Why would I need an Inverter Circuit with Adjustable Frequency and Amplitude?

Having adjustable frequency and amplitude allows for more versatility in the output of the inverter circuit. It allows you to customize the AC output to match the specific requirements of your appliances, which can help improve their performance and efficiency.

3. Can I build a DIY DC to Sine Inverter Circuit?

Yes, it is possible to build a DIY DC to Sine Inverter Circuit. However, it requires a good understanding of electronic components and circuit design. It is recommended to have some experience in electronics before attempting to build this type of circuit.

4. What are the main components of a DIY DC to Sine Inverter Circuit?

The main components of a DIY DC to Sine Inverter Circuit include a DC power source (such as a battery or solar panel), transistors, resistors, capacitors, and an oscillator circuit. These components work together to convert the DC input into an AC output with adjustable frequency and amplitude.

5. Are there any safety precautions I should take when building a DIY DC to Sine Inverter Circuit?

Yes, it is important to take proper safety precautions when building any electronic circuit. This includes wearing safety glasses, working in a well-ventilated area, and using appropriate tools and equipment. It is also important to double-check all connections and components before powering on the circuit to avoid potential hazards.
