In this post I have explained a couple of interesting timer circuits customized as per individual requirements. The first one is a kind of week/day programmable timer circuit for actuating a motor for a predetermined time only during certain selected days of the week, while the second timer circuit is for alerting a lecturer regarding the finish of the allotted time […]

Power Interruption Alarm Circuit for Instant Power Failure Indications
This power interruption alarm circuit will alert you whenever there’s a power failure or an interruption in the mains. In some special conditions it becomes imperative to know whether the mains that powers some important system or circuit is absent. By: Manisha Patel How the power failure alarm works This proposed circuit is connected to […]
Programmable Solar Porch Light Circuit
In this post I have explained a porch light circuit with programmable timer controller which enables the connected LEDs to light up or shut off after some delay, as preferred by the user, thus it’s not entirely dependent on the solar panel parameters. The idea was requested by “Unknown”. Technical Specifications It’d be neat if […]
Non-Contact Current Sensor Circuit Using Hall-Effect IC
In this article I have explained about a simple non-contact current sensor circuit using a hall effect sensor IC. Why Hall Effect Sensor When it comes to sensing current (Amps) linear Hall-effect devices are the best and the most accurate. These devices can sense and measure current right from a few amps to many thousands. […]
LM317 with Outboard Current Boost Circuit
The popular LM317 voltage regulator IC is designed to deliver not more than 1.5 amps, however by adding an outboard current boost transistor to the circuit it becomes possible to upgrade the regulator circuit to handle much higher currents, and upto any desired levels. You might have already come across the 78XX fixed voltage regulator […]
Solar Battery Charger using LM339 Comparator
This small LM339 based solar battery charger setup is designed to optimize the charging of your battery using any solar panel while protecting it from accidental overloads. Considering the extended battery life it allows you to achieve, it is an investment that quickly pays for itself. Circuit Description Our setup is nothing more than a […]
