Timer based Water Level Controller Circuit
The explained circuit of a water level controller circuit is based on a adjustable timer circuit whose time delay is first adjusted to match the filling time of the tank, as the the tank fills, the timer delay also simultaneously lapses and its output switches OFF the water pump. Circuit Specifications Actually the circuit was […]
How to Replace a Transistor (BJT) with a MOSFET
In this post I have explained the method of correctly replacing a BJT with a MOSFET, without affecting the final outcome of the circuit. Introduction Until MOSFETs arrived in the field of electronics, transistors or BJTs to be precise ruled the power switching circuits and applications. Though even Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs) can not be […]
BJT 2N2222, 2N2222A Datasheet and Application Notes
This article explains the main specifications, pinouts and application related information regarding the transistor NPN BJT 2N2222, 2N2222A, and also its complimentary PNP pair 2N2907 BJT Introduction In one of my earlier posts I have explained regarding a few low signal type of transistors like BC547, BC557 etc. Here we are going to study the […]
6 Useful DC Cell phone Charger Circuits Explained
A DC cell phone or mobile phone charger is a device which charges a cellphone from an available DC supply source. The device converts the unregulated DC source into a constant current and constant voltage output which becomes safe for any mobile phone charging. In this article I have explained how to build DC to […]
Simple Electronic Fuse Circuit
In this article we investigate a electronic circuit design which works like a conventional fuse for safeguarding any electrical system from overloads, over-current, short circuit and related fire hazards. However, the main advantage of this electronic fuse is that it does not require frequent replacements like mechanical fuses, instead it can be reset with a […]
