Breath Detector Circuit
The breath detector circuit I have explained below can be used to check or monitor the breathing function of a human or patient. So I have explained the detailed working of the circuit from the following explanation: Component Functions LM324 Op amp: A few operational amplifiers (op-amps) in the circuit magnify the minute voltage changes […]
Bicycle Dynamo Battery Charger Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple constant current bicycle dynamo battery charger circuit which can be used for charging a Li-Ion or Ni-Cd battery from a bicycle dynamo electricity source. The idea was requested by Mr. Saif Khan. Technical Specifications I want to charge a battery through a dynamo fitted to a cycle. […]
Mains 220 V AC Line Filter Circuit for Transient Suppression
The 220 V mains AC line filter circuit described here has two functions: it prevents high-frequency waves from being sent back into the power network and it protects connected equipment from power line disturbances and surges. This circuit employs a number of components, such as capacitors, resistors, inductors, and a varistor, which are deliberately positioned […]
Understanding Triac Snubber Network Calculations
You may find electronic circuits that frequently utilize triacs to manage mains powered loads. However, these setups commonly feature an inconspicuous capacitor and resistor combination across the triac – a snubber network. The functions of these components are more intricate than they seem. Exploring snubbers and grasping basic triac theory is valuable. Triac Operation A […]
