How to Make a Telephone Amplifier Circuit
The simple telephone ring tone amplifier circuit I have explained in this article saves the inconvenience of picking the telephone handset while speaking over a call. This circuit also particularly becomes useful when there’s a need of the conversation to become audible to a number of people or a group of people. Introduction When the […]
How to Use an Op amp as a Comparator Circuit
In this post I will comprehensively explain how to use any opamp as a comparator in a circuit for comparing a input differentials and producing the corresponding outputs. What is an Op amp Comparator We’ve been using an op amp IC probably since we started learning electronics, I am referring to this wonderful little IC […]
Homemade 2000 VA Power Inverter Circuit
Making a power inverter circuit rated above 2000 VA is always difficult, mainly because of the involved transformer dimension which becomes quite huge, unmanageable and difficult to configure correctly. Introduction Power inverters in the range of KVA, requires huge current transferring capabilities for implementing the required operations as per the desired specs of the unit. Transformer being the main power […]
5 Easy 1 Watt LED Driver Circuits
In this post I have explained about a few easy to build, compact 1 watt LED bulb circuits. The first circuit is SMPS based, the second design uses a capacitive power supply, while the remaining concepts show how to used a DC source to illuminate a 1 watt LED. Warning: Many of the circuits I […]
IC 7805, 7812, 7824 Pinout Connection Explained
In this post I have explained how to connect common 78XX voltage regulator ICs such as 7805, 7812, 7824 etc for getting fixed regulated output voltages at 5 V, 12 V, or 24 V outputs respectively. The input voltage must be at least 3 V higher than the desired output voltage. For example, if a […]
