In the following post I have explained two straightforward dummy load circuits: the first one can be used for testing high current power supplies, and the second design can be used for testing large power amplifiers. Suppose you have a 10 amp power supply and you want to confirm the 10 amp output through some […]

How to Make a Shunt Resistor
A shunt resistor is a very low value, high wattage resistor which is connected in parallel to a low range meter, so that it helps the meter to substantially increase its measuring capacity. Quite often you might find it hard to measure large currents with a contemporary multimeter. If you’ve ever considered buying an industrial shunt to address […]
Exploring Current Mirror Circuits with Practical Designs
In this post I have explained some important current mirror circuits, and how to design practical circuits using current mirror concepts. Current Mirror Definition A current mirror is a circuit that copies a current through one active device by regulating the current in another active device in the circuit, maintaining a constant output current independent […]
RGB Light Strip Controller Circuits
In this post we are going to see how we can construct an RGB LED light strip controller circuit for PC cabinets and also for general decoration purposes. In this post we will construct a couple of RGB light strip controller designs, one for a PC cabinets and one for general purpose which can be […]
Microamp Meter Circuit
A microamp meter or microammeter is a device that allows the user to measure extremely small current levels, in microamps, which is normally not possible to measure using conventional multimeters. A conventional panel meter or multimeter will not be able to properly measure currents of a few microamps or less. It is required to utilize […]
Field Strength Meter Circuit
A field strength meter is an electronic device which is used for detecting and measuring the RF radiation generated from any RF transmitter circuit. As we all know that transmitter circuits invariably use an inductor/capacitor based LC resonating circuit, also called the tank circuit, which oscillates at a specified resonating frequency to transmit the frequency […]
