Capacitor charge and discharge periods is usually calculated through an RC constant called tau, expressed as the product of R and C, where C is the capacitance and R is the resistance parameter that may be in series or parallel with the capacitor C. It may be expressed as shown below: τ = R C […]

How to Understand and Use white LEDs – Datasheet
If you are wondering how to correctly use white LEDs in circuits so that they can be illuminated safely without damaging, then this post might help you to evaluate the same. Introduction White LEDs are the future lighting solutions for our cities and homes. They will be easily replacing the traditional CFL and other flurescent […]
What is Hysteresis in Electronic Circuits
You might have searched regarding what is hysteresis a number of times through many different posts on different websites, but to no avail. You might have also tried to find a comprehensive as well as an easy explanation regarding the same through various websites. However, the explanations provided over these websites are pretty long and […]
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, […]
Astable Multivibrator Circuit Using NAND Gates
An astable multivibrator is referred to an electronic configuration which is able to generate continuous alternate high and low pulses from a couple of outputs, operating in tandem. Why IC 4093 You might have well come across such astable circuits using a couple of transistors, a couple of capacitors and a few resistors.However more simpler […]
Diode Rectification: Half-Wave, Full-Wave, PIV
In electronics, rectification is a process in which a rectifier diode converts an alternating full cycle AC input signal into a half cycle DC output signal. A single diode produces half wave rectification, and a network of 4 diodes produces a full wave rectification In this post we will analyze both half wave and full […]
