If you are looking for a power transistor able to support high current upto 25 amps and yet not incorporate the traditional cumbersome TO-3 package, then the TIP36 would certainly impress you. High Current from Smaller Package The package of TIP36 is TO-3P which means the accompanied heatsink would require just a single hole to be drilled and […]

Digital Clock Synchronized Programmable Timer Circuit
I have already discussed one programmable timer circuit in this blog earlier, the circuit involves the IC 4060 for generating the basic oscillations which is further used for generating the required time intervals, however this cannot be synchronized with an external clock. The following circuit was requested by Mr.Amit, here the concept makes use of a clock for acquiring the required base timing […]

In this post we will try to analyze a few interesting IC LM338 based power supply circuits and related application circuits which can used by all hobbyists and professional for their day to day electronic circuits and experiments Introduction The IC LM338 by TEXAS INSTRUMENTS, is a versatile IC which can be wired in numerous […]
How to Illuminate 1 Watt LEDs with Cell Phone Charger
Nowadays probably all of us have a spare cell phone charger lying idle in our cupboards or table drawers……so wouldn’t it be a great idea if we could employ it like a super bright 1 watt LED driver and illuminate our room with white cool moon light. Circuit Concept As we all know that a 1 watt […]
Make this Solar Powered Fence Charger Circuit
A Fence charger or energizer is an equipment which is used for charging(electrifying) a fence or a boundary in order to protect the inside premise from human or animal interventions. Since these boundaries are mostly of large fields and parks, are normally away from the main cities, and powering them through some renewable option becomes […]
Homemade Solar MPPT Circuit – Poor Man’s Maximum Power Point Tracker
MPPT stands for maximum power point tracker, which is an electronic system designed for optimizing the varying power output from a solar panel module such that the connected battery exploits the maximum available power from the solar panel. Introduction NOTE: The discussed MPPT circuits in this post do not employ the conventional control methods like “Perturb and […]
