In this post I have explained a 2 simple, single chip digital potentiometer circuits which can be controlled through a single pushbutton, a dual pushbutton (up/down) or even through external digital (CMOS/TTL) input triggers. 1) About DS1869 Dallastat TM is a rheostat or potentiometer. This unit delivers 64 conceivable consistent tap outputs over the over-all […]

Make this Simple Set Reset Circuit using IC 555
In this post I have explained a simple IC 555 set/reset application circuit for activating or deactivating a relay alternately. Audio/Video Representation Circuit Operation This electronic set reset circuit is very simple, easy to implement and very useful. It can provide you many applications options in cases where it may be necessary to toggle (switch […]
Fishing YoYo Stop-Motion Switch Circuit with Indicator
In this post I have explained a stop-motion switch circuit or a strike indicator for aiding fishing yo yo applications. The idea was requested by Mr. Mike. Technical Specifications (kindly bear the long discussion) Hello Sir, My name is Mike. I am the one requesting help with this stop-motion switch from the “Homemade Circuits” Blog […]
Difference Between Forward Converter and Flyback Converter
We know SMPS can be made in different ways, but two common ones are flyback converter and forward converter, which may look same at first. But inside working is not same at all, so this part matters before you design transformer or power stage. Audio/Video Representation Flyback Converter We see a flyback converter works in […]
Pure Sine Wave Inverter Circuit Using IC 4047
A very effective pure sine wave inverter circuit can be made using the IC 4047 and a couple IC 555 together with a few other passive components. I have explained the details below. Introduction In one of my previous posts I explained the main specifications and datasheet of the IC 4047 where I have explained […]
How to Add Adjustable Current and Voltage feedback Control to SG3525 Inverters
If you want to build a very heavy power inverter or when you want to make a high frequency induction heater, or when you want to make a lab grade variable SMPS, then getting precise control over both output voltage and current is a major engineering hurdle. Most standard designs using the classic SG3525 PWM […]
