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 […]

IC LM338 Application Circuits
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 […]
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 […]
Remote Controlled Toy Car using 433 MHz Remote Modules
This circuit will enable reverse-forward, left-right control of a toy car through 433 MHz RF remote control modules or any similar RF remote modules. The market may be full of these hi-end remote controlled toy cars, but for a hobbyists making one at home can be entirely a different experience. The article below explains how to configure […]
How to Make a Bridge Rectifier
A bridge rectifier is an electronic network using 4 diodes which is used for converting an AC input to DC output. The process is called full wave rectification. Here I have explained the basic working principle of rectifier diodes such as a 1N4007 or a 1N5408, and also learn how to connect 1N4007 diodes to […]
