In this post I have explained 4 easy to build, compact simple transformerless power supply circuits. All the circuits presented here are built using capacitive reactance theory for stepping down the input AC mains voltage. All the designs presented here work independently without any transformer, or no transformer. The Transformerless Power Supply Concept As the […]

7 Easy Voltage Doubler Circuits Discussed
In this article I have explained 7 easy to build DC to DC voltage doubler circuits using a single IC 4049 and IC 555 along with a few other passive components. If you are wondering how a simple IC 555 can be used for making a powerful voltage doubler circuit, then this article will help […]
Remote Control Circuit Using FM Radio
In this post I have explained how to build a simple FM remote control circuit for toggling small AC loads such as lamps, fans etc using an ordinary FM transmitter circuit and a modified FM radio circuit. This remote control system enables the user to get an ON/OFF control on any desired appliance, by simply […]
SCR/Triac Controlled Automatic Voltage Stabilizer Circuit
In this article I have explained a relatively simple triac controlled automatic mains voltage stabilizer circuit, which uses logic ICs and a few triacs for controlling the mains voltage levels. Why Solid State Being solid state in design, the voltage switching transitions are very smooth with minimum wear and tear, resulting in efficient voltage stabilization. […]
5 Interesting Flip Flop Circuits – Load ON/OFF with Push-Button
Five simple yet effective electronic toggle flip flop switch circuits can be built around the IC 4017, IC 4093, and IC 4013. We will see how these can be implemented for switching a relay alternately ON OFF by alternately pressing a single push-button or through touch pads, which in turn will switch an electronic load […]
