Electronic signals have been quite successfully sent for decades through standard “hard -wire” connections, or by using radio links of different kinds which had many disadvantages. On the other hand fiber optic links, whether used for audio or video links over long ranges, or to handle small distances, have been offering some distinct advantages compared […]

Zener Diode Circuits, Characteristics, Calculations
Zener diodes – named after its inventor Dr. Carl Zener are fundamentally used in electronic circuits for generating precise voltage references. These are devices that are able to create a practically constant voltage across them regardless of variations in circuit and voltage situations. Externally, you may find zener diodes a lot similar to standard diodes […]
Calculating Transistor as a Switch
Although transistors (BJTs) are popularly used for making amplifier circuits, these can be also effectively used for switching applications. A transistor switch is a circuit in which the collector of the transistor is switched ON/OFF with relatively larger current in response to a correspondingly switching low current ON/OFF signal at its base emitter. As an […]
How to Make PCB at Home (Easiest Method)
For any electronic enthusiast making PCBs for an electronic project can be a lot of fun. A printed circuit board or PCB not only helps to build compact circuit projects, it also guarantees the working of the circuit fail proof and more accurate. In this post I will comprehensively explain a step wise process of […]
