How to Use IC LM393 as a Current Controller Circuit
In this post we will understand a current controller and current limiter circuit using the IC LM393 comparator. This circuit is using a low power voltage comparator integrated circuit LM393 and one power Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor, so the idea is simple but the working looks a little deep when we see it […]
IC 555 Low Battery Indicator Circuit
In this article I have explained a simple low battery indicator circuit using the IC 555 and a few resistors only. Circuit Concept Many electronic circuits such as emergency lights, battery chargers, UPS systems, flashlights etc essentially require a low battery indication feature in order to avoid over discharge of the involved battery. An over discharge could mean a permanent damage […]
How to Connect a TSOP1738 IR Sensor
TSOP17XX series devices are advanced infrared sensors having a specified center frequency of operation which makes their detection extremely reliable and foolproof. In this post I have explained how to connect a TSOP series infrared sensor and use it for a specified IR remote control operations. TSOP IR Sensor Specifications A TSOP series of IR […]
7 Best Touch Sensor Switch Circuits Explored
In this post I have explained 8 easy methods of building touch sensor switch circuits at home, which can be used for switching 220 V appliances ON/OFF with mere finger touch operat ions. The first one is a simple touch sensor switch using a single IC 4017, the second one employs a Schmidt trigger IC, […]
Battery Voltage Monitor Circuits using LM324 and LM3915 ICs
The post describes simple battery charge monitor circuits or battery status indicator circuits using 4 LEDs to 10 LEDs, and using ICs like LM324 and LM3915. The first design is a 4 LED voltage monitor circuit using the versatile IC LM324. The idea was requested by Ms. Piyali. Technical Specifications I’ve a project, if you […]
