3 Solid-State Single IC 220V Adjustable Power Supply Circuits
These AC to DC power supplies use a single chip to convert mains 220 V or 120 V input AC into 12 V or 5 V DC without depending on a transformer. Three simple yet efficient 220V single chip based solid state transformerless adjustable solid-state power supply circuits are discussed here. The first one works […]
Constant Current Generator Circuits Explained
Constant current generators (CCGs), as the name suggests, are circuits designed to produce a steady load current regardless of significant fluctuations in load resistance or voltage levels. Basic Constant Current Generator Circuit Illustrated in Figure 1 is a basic example of such a circuit. In this configuration, Q1 operates in the common emitter mode. A […]
Electronic Touch Organ Circuit
An electronic touch organ is an intriguing musical device which produces very pleasant musical notes in response to finger touches on special touch sensitive electronic pads or buttons. Modern day organs are, however, very costly which usually places these outside the reach of the majority of folks. Low cost options types lack performance, and are […]
Easy Two Transistor Circuit Projects for School Students
A variety of small school projects can be built using just two transistors. This compilation includes a collection of practical and fascinating circuit ideas using just a few number of parts. Any small signal transistor can be used in the proposed two transistor circuit, such as BC547, 2N2222, 2N2907, BC108, BC107, TIP32, TIP31, 188, 8050, […]
High Current Triac BTA41/600B – Datasheet, Application Note
Triacs are one of the most important active electronic components which are exclusively used for power switching applications, these devices are especially suited to AC mains loads, and are able to switch large currents consistently. Triacs are the solid state replacements to mechanical relays, and come configured as static relays. The modern triacs today are highly sophisticated […]
