In this post I have explained how to build simple oscillator circuits like the pierce oscillator and hartley oscillator using a single CMOS gate. Both the oscillators are types of oscillators that utilize minimum number of components yet are able to generate very stable and reliable frequency outputs. You might also want to learn How […]

How to Make a Shunt Resistor
A shunt resistor is a very low value, high wattage resistor which is connected in parallel to a low range meter, so that it helps the meter to substantially increase its measuring capacity. Quite often you might find it hard to measure large currents with a contemporary multimeter. If you’ve ever considered buying an industrial shunt to address […]
How to Calculate Heatsinks
Heatsinking is critical for power devices in circuits that are intended to maximize their performance. When heat from the power devices cannot be moved away very quickly, the power devices and its operating elements could be damaged. You may calculate how hot your semiconductors could become while operating, using a couple of easy formulas. Using formulas gets rid of guesswork and […]
How to Connect IC 4066 in a Circuit
In this article, I will try to explain how to connect the input and output pinouts of the bilateral switch IC 4066. We will learn how to correctly configure and use the IC 4066 pinouts in a circuit. The 4066 actually performs the role of an analogue switch. The 4066 is an integrated circuit made […]
How to Calculate Zener Diode Resistor
In this article I have explained how to calculate and the find the value of the zener diode resistor using simple formulas. What is a Zener Diode Zener diodes are semiconductor devices which are used for regulating an input DC voltage to any desired output voltage. The regulated output voltage value directly depends on the […]
How to Modify a Transformer
Commonly, the perfect transformer might not be readily accessible for purchase, or if it is available, it can be costly. Nonetheless, there is a possibility of modifying the transformer’s secondary winding, especially when producing small voltage and current outputs. This approach can provide a highly cost-effective solution for creating a customized power supply. Transformer Power […]
