In this post we study the datasheet, pinout, and technical specifications of the IC LMC555 which is a CMOS version of the standard IC 555. The IC is equipped with many outstanding features, the most amazing being its minimum supply range which is down to 1.5V. Meaning now you have an IC 555 which can […]

High Current Zener Diode Datasheet, Application Circuit
Zener diodes that are normally available are mostly 1/4 watt or 1/2 watt types. And it is quite valid since the basic function of zener is to create stabilized reference voltage. Zener diodes are not designed for current regulation directly. However, for some applications where shunting excess voltage and current is necessary a high current […]
Comparator Datasheet Parameters
This post will help you to understand a few of the crucial comparator parameters or specifications which are generally found in comparator IC datasheets. Some of the major parameters that you may come across in the datasheet of a compartaor are: Propagation delay Current consumption Output stage type (open collector/drain or push-pull) Input offset voltage, […]
RFID Reader Circuit using Arduino
In this article we are going to take a tour on RFID circuit technology. We will be exploring how RFID tags and readers work, how to interface RFID module (RC522) with Arduino and extract some useful information from the RFID tags. Using RFID Tags I am sure every one of you has used RFID to […]
Making a Float Switch Circuit for a Corrosion-free Water Level Control
A float switch is a device which detects a fluid level (such as water) and activates a set of contacts which may be further integrated to a control circuit for restricting the fluid flow behavior. Why a Float Switch The advantage of a float switch is that it works without a direct contact with the […]
Motorcycle Regulator, Rectifier Tester Circuit
The motorcycle regulator, rectifier tester circuit presented here can be used to test a 6-wire shunt type regulator-rectifiers for a 3-phase charging system of motorcycles. These reg./rectifiers (RR-units) are usually sealed with epoxy and it is considered difficult to find out if the unit is faulty or not. Designed and Written by: Abu-Hafss As the […]
