In this post I have explained a voltage high current doubler circuit which will almost double the voltage that’s been applied at the input (up to 15V max), and also it becomes specifically useful since it allows higher current loads to be used at the output, in the order 10 amps. Since the voltage doubler […]

5 Simple Alarm Circuits for Protecting your Home/Office from Theft
The following article discusses a few very simple intrusion detector circuits, or ant-theft alarms. The presented designs are easy to build yet extremely effective with the functions. How the Circuits Works An intruder alarm basically consists of a sensor and a trigger stages, which work together to produce the required detection. The sensor detects the presence […]
How to Connect a Relay through an Opto-Coupler
In the following post I have explained how to drive a relay by using an isolated method, or through an optocoupler device. We will learn three methods, first method is by connecting relay directly with the optocoupler output pins, second method is by using external PNP transistors, and third method is by using external NPN […]
