In a triac phase control circuit, the triac is triggered ON only for specific portions of the AC half cycles, causing the load to operate only for that period of the AC waveform. This results in a controlled supply of power to the load. Triacs are popularly used as a solid-state replacement of relay for […]
Newly Updated Circuit Projects:
LM10 Op Amp Application Circuits – Works with 1.1 V
The LM10 is a pioneering operational amplifier designed to operate from single ended power inputs with voltages as low as 1.1V, and up to as high as 40V. As can be witnessed in Figure 1, the device consists of an op amp, a precision 200 mV band-gap voltage reference, and a reference amplifier, all encased […]
4 Useful Logic Probe Circuits Explored
These simple yet versatile 4 LED logic probe circuits can be used to test digital circuit boards such as CMOS, TTL or similar for troubleshooting the logic functions of the ICs and the associated stage. What is a Logic Probe A logic probe circuit is a handheld electronic tool which can be used to test […]
Sound Triggered Halloween Eyes Project – “Don’t Wake the Devil”
This can be a perfect circuit project for Halloween, although sound activated gadgets likewise may have plenty of other applications. When somebody enters the Halloween house, a sensitive MIC detects the sound vibrations and spins the eye balls of the scary looking beard man, as if it was waken up by the sound, and is […]
Automatic Door Circuit using PIR – Touchless Door
Along with social distancing and masks, the other major thing the post COVID-19 era has compelled the world to implement is to go touchless. This is being recommended for the many public devices, such as doors, hand sanitizers, buttons, switches etc. in order to restrict the spread of viruses that may be caused due to […]
Simple Frequency Meter Circuits – Analogue Designs
The following simple analogue frequency meter circuits can be used for measuring frequencies which may be either sine wave or square wave. The input frequency which is to be measured must be at least 25 mV RMS, for optimal detection and measurement. The design facilitates a relatively wide range of frequency measurement, right from 10 […]
