An electrical relay consists of a electromagnet and a spring loaded changeover contacts. When the electromagnet is switched ON/OFF with a DC supply, the spring loaded mechanism is corresponding pulled and released by this electromagnet, enabling a changeover across the end terminals of these contacts. An external electrical load connected across these contacts are subsequently […]
Electronics Theory
Understanding PID Controller
The first successful assessment of PID control theory was practically verified in the field of automatic steering systems for ships, way back around the year 1920. After this it was applied in various industrial automatic process controls requiring optimized and accurate manufacturing output specifications. For manufacturing units PID was popularly implemented for achieving precise pneumatic […]
Understanding Pull-Up and Pull-Down Resistors with Diagrams and Formulas
In this post I am going to explain pull-Up resistor and pull-down resistor, why they are commonly used in electronic circuits, what happens to electronic circuits without Pull-Up or Pull-down resistor, and How to calculate Pull-Up and Pull-down resistor values and finally we will see about open collector configuration. How Logic Inputs and Outputs Work […]
Digital Buffer – Working, Definition, Truth Table, Double Inversion, Fan-out
A buffer stage basically a reinforced intermediate stage which allows the input current to reach the output without getting affected by the output loading. In this post I will try to explain what digital buffers are, and we will be taking a look at its definition, symbol, truth table, double inversion using logic “NOT” gate, […]
How Logic Gates Work
In this post I will comprehensively explain what logic gates are and its working. We will be taking a look at the basic definition, symbol, truth table, Multi input gates, we will be also constructing transistor based gate equivalents and finally we will take an overview on various relevant CMOS ICs. What are Logic Gates […]
What is Constant Current Source – Facts Explained
In this post I will try to analyze what is constant current source and how it affects a load, or how it may be used with a load correctly for achieving the most efficient results. The following discussion between me and Mr. Girish will clearly explain what is CC or how constant current operates. How […]
