In the previous post I explained a piezo transducer element and learned how to use it with electronic circuits. In this article we will see how a piezo tranducer can be driven or operated using a simple circuit. As discussed earlier a piezo transducer basically requires a frequency to vibrate and reproduce the required sound. […]

Designing Simple Power Supply Circuits
In this post I have explained how to design and build a simple power supply circuit right from the basic design to the reasonably sophisticated power supply having extended features. Power Supply is Indispensable Whether it’s an electronic noob or an expert engineer, all require this indispensable piece of equipment called the power supply unit. This is because no electronics […]
Simple Car Shock Alarm Circuit
A simple car shock alarm circuit I have I have explained in this article can eb effectively used to alarm the owner each time the car comes across some kind of vibrational intrusion ether from a potential theft of simply a damaging hit from an external source. Introduction Today most of the cars are equipped […]
How to Make an Incubator Timer Optimizer Circuit
A timer circuit design which could be used for turning the position of the eggs in an incubator between predetermined intervals of time was requested to me by one of the keen readers of this blog, Mr. Eugene. The requested circuit has been exclusively designed by me and published here, Circuit Specifications Let’s hear the […]
Using Triacs for Controlling Inductive Loads
Here I have tried to investigate a few enhanced triac based phase controller circuits which can be recommended for controlling or operating inductive loads like transformers and AC motors much safely than earlier traditional triac based circuit dimmer circuits. Using Triacs for Controlling AC Loads A Triac is a semiconductor device used for switching AC […]
DIY 100 Watt MOSFET Amplifier Circuit with PCB
MOSFET based amplifiers as we all know are outstanding with their sound qualities and they can easily beat the performance of other counterparts based on power transistors or linear ICs. Why use MOSFETs in Amplifiers Amplifiers based on mosfets are not always easy to design or make. Moreover after assembling a prototype, testing to perfection […]
