Eagle CAD is a Professional PCB design package from the German company CadSoft. It offers an array of licenses, some of which allow individuals to use the package virtually free of charge. The learning curve may be a bit steep, but then Computer Aided Drafting is hardly simple, and most CAD packages have steep learning […]

Difference Between Alternating Current(AC) and Direct Current(DC)
In this post we try to investigate the mains differences between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). The word AC and DC are pretty common with electronics and we all come across it while developing or dealing electronic circuit designs. Overview Though the terms are very ordinary with the field, many noobs become confused […]
Understanding and Using a Piezo Transducer
In this post we try to investigate what transducers are and how they need to be configured in circuits while using them in a given application Understanding Piezo Transducers A piezo transducer is a device primarily used for converting an applied frequency to audible sound. It may be compared to a loud speaker, the only […]
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 […]
How to Use an Op amp as a Comparator Circuit
In this post I will comprehensively explain how to use any opamp as a comparator in a circuit for comparing a input differentials and producing the corresponding outputs. What is an Op amp Comparator We’ve been using an op amp IC probably since we started learning electronics, I am referring to this wonderful little IC […]
How an Inverter Functions, How to Repair Inverters – General Tips
In this post we will try to learn how to diagnose and repair an inverter, by comprehensively learning the various stages of an inverter, and how a basic inverter functions. Before I have explained how to repair an inverter it would be important for you to first get fully informed regarding the basic functioning of […]
