In this article I have explained how to make any BJT or mosfet based circuit free from stray signal pickup and false triggering by simply attaching a filter resistor or a capacitor across their base/emitter or gate/source terminals. The problem was raised by Mr.Henrik. Solving a Circuit Problem I have an issue I don’t understand. […]

LED Chaser Circuit using IC 74LS164: LEDs illuminate in Bar Mode then Shut off together or one by one
This circuit is actually a little more advanced LED chaser scanner circuit using two 74LS164 Shift Register ICs together with one NE555 Timer, and yep the light effect looks somewhat similar to those old Knight Rider or Mustang scanner lights which move from sides toward center. The LEDs are arranged in two strips, or sometimes […]
LED Chaser using IC 74C164: 8 LEDs turn ON one by one, Shut off, then Repeat
Referring to the following chaser circuit diagram below, we can see a low-frequency, astable oscillator circuit, made up of two gates, IC1a and IC1b, from the IC 4011 quad two-input NAND gate. The operating frequency of this astable is determined by the values of C1 and R11. This circuit configuration works well as a clock-pulse […]
