A car LED downlight available in the market can be easily integrated to an existing car battery if its rating is identical to the battery’s voltage rating. I have explained more regarding one such request sent by Mr. Allwyn Siqueira. How to Connect Downlight to 12V Car Battery Hi Swagatam, I’ve just spent the last […]

Simple H-Bridge Circuits Using BJTs and MOSFETs | No Need of Driver ICs
An H-bridge is one very useful circuit arrangement which lets us reverse the polarity across a load, so now with one DC supply we can make current flow through the load in both directions alternately. Because of that, these H-bridge circuits get used in many places like DC to AC inverter circuits, transformer drivers, bidirectional […]
Fence Charger Animal Contact Detector Circuit with Audible Buzzer
In one of my electric fence charger articles, one reader asked me something interesting. He wanted to know whether a buzzer could be made to sound whenever an animal touches the fence. At first I was thinking about a current sensing method because that looks like the obvious way. But after looking at how electric […]
Controlling LED Strip Light ON/OFF and Brightness with any Remote Control
In this post I will show how to construct LED strip controller circuit using Arduino, which can turn ON/OFF and decrease/increase brightness of LEDs using ordinary IR (Infrared) remote. What is LED Strip Light? (For noobs) If you are not familiar with LED strip lights, let’s understand what it is. LED strips (sometimes called as […]
Simple AM Radio Receiver using IC TA7642
We see this radio circuit is very basic, not too many parts, but still it works. This circuit shows how a full MW radio can be made with very few parts. The main part is TA7642 which already has RF amplifier, detector, AGC inside, so we do not need to build all that outside. Main […]
How to Upgrade EGS002 Inverter to 5kVA Level
In this article I will explain how to upgrade an EGS002 inverter board to 5kVA power level using the HCPL-3120 or HCPL-J312 opto isolated drivers with isolated inputs and isolated power supply stages. However, the low side MOSFETs are driven through ordinary BJT totem pole configuration such as by using BD139 and BD140 transistor pairs. […]
