Here we study a simple IC 555 based monostable circuit whose output monostable time duration starts only after the input trigger is released thus making sure that the trigger ON time duration is added with the monostable’s pre-programmed ON time duration. The idea was requested by Mr. John Brogan Technical Specifications I would like to […]

Solar Drip Irrigation Circuit for Indoor Gardens
In this post I have explained a water level controller circuit which can be used for implementing an unmanned continuous drip irrigation to a home based garden. The idea was requested by Mr. Sandipan. Technical Specifications I’m implementing a drip irrigation for my balcony garden. One part of it is to automatic fill water a […]
Capacitor Leakage Tester Circuit – Find Leaky Capacitors Quickly
This simple capacitor tester is capable of testing leaky electrolytic capacitors in the range of 1uf to 450uf. It can test large start and run capacitors as well as 1uf miniature capacitors rated at 10v. Once you understand the timing cycle, you can test down to 0.5uf and up to 650uf. By Henry Bowman How […]
Over Voltage Protection for Automotive Load Dump
In this post I have explained an over voltage cut-off protection circuit in the form of automotive dump load for protecting sensitive and sophisticated modern automotive electronics from transient DC electrical spikes emanating in vehicle electrical. Transient bus voltages are a significant risk factor to integrated circuits. The maximum breakdown voltage that an integrated circuit […]
