In this post I have explained a few very simple boost converter circuits using only BJTs, or transistors. Let’s learn more. What is a Boost Converter A DC boost converter circuit is designed for stepping-up or boosting a small input voltage levels to a desired higher output voltage level, hence the name “boost” converter. Since […]

PIR Controlled Solar Garden Light Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple automatic PIR controlled solar garden light circuit which will switch ON the LEDs only under two conditions: when it is completely dark and when a human being is detected in the vicinity. The above feature of the circuit ensures that the LEDs are turned ON only when […]
0 to 99 Digital Pulse Counter Circuit Diagrams
The proposed 00-99 digital pulse counter circuit becomes very handy in places where you need to keep the people organized in some specified order. Operating details of the digital counter As may be referred the circuit employs the popular 555 IC to genearte the pulse clocks. The pulse counting is done with the help of […]
3 Laser Beam Controlled Circuits Explored
A compact, battery-powered transmitter emits a LASER beam when the control push button is activated. The beam is frequency-coded to provide a maximum level of reliability in transmission. The receiver can be located at a considerable distance from the transmitter (up to several tens of meters). The light beam, by definition, remains highly focused, and […]
3 Frequency to Voltage Converter Circuits Explained
As the name suggests frequency to voltage converters are devices that convert a varying frequency input into a correspondingly varying output voltage levels. Here we study three easy yet advanced designs using IC 4151, IC VFC32 and IC LM2907. 1) Using IC 4151 This frequency voltage converter circuit using IC 4151 is characterized by its […]
3 Easy Capacitive Proximity Sensor Circuits Explored
In this post I will comprehensively discuss a 3 basic proximity sensor circuits with many application circuits and detailed features of the circuit. The first two capacitive proximity sensor circuits uses a simple IC 741 and IC 555 based concepts, while the last one is a bit more accurate and incorporates a precision IC PCF8883 […]
