The following email discussions were sent to me by Mr John Sweden who is one of the avid readers of this blog, here he explains about an USB isolator device, and how it may be incorporated while using an oscilloscope with a PC, in order to safeguard the oscilloscope and the test circuit from accidental […]

Transistor Stray pickup False Triggering Problem
In this article I have explained how to make any BJT or mosfet based circuit free from stray signal pickup and false triggering by simply attaching a filter resistor or a capacitor across their base/emitter or gate/source terminals. The problem was raised by Mr.Henrik. Solving a Circuit Problem I have an issue I don’t understand. […]
How Supercapacitors Work
In this post I have explained what a supercapacitor is, how closely similar or different to an ordinary capacitor, where it is used and we will be doing comparison between batteries and super-capacitors to find out which one of them is superior. Let’s understand the basics of an ordinary capacitor. How Ordinary Capacitor Works A […]
What’s PWM, How to Measure it
PWM stands for pulse width modulation which signifies the variable nature of the pulse widths that may be generated from a particular source such as a discrete IC, MCU, or a transistorized circuit. What’s PWM In simple terms a PWM process is nothing but switching ON and OFF a supply voltage at a particular rate […]
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 […]
Difference Between Current and Voltage – What is Voltage, What is Current
The following data explains the important aspects connected with the electrical parameters like voltage and current, the content also explains in simple words how to differentiate the two parameters. What is Current It is the number of electrons flowing at any instant through a conductor or across the positive and the negative of a conductor […]
