3-Digit LED Capacitance Meter Circuit
This project is yet another test equipment that can be extremely handy to any electronic hobbyist, and building this unit can be a lot of fun. A capacitance meter is a very useful test equipment as it allows the user to check a desired capacitor and confirm its relaibility. Ordinary or standard digital meters mostly […]
LM317 IC Tester Circuit – Sort Out Good ICs from Faulty Ones
Here is simple but handy testing circuit for LM317 adjustable voltage regulator IC. I am sure it can be used to test other similar ICs like LM117, LM158, LM358 etc. The circuit is pretty straightforward. The circuit is based on normal configuration of adjustable voltage regulator. How it Works For details follow https://www.homemade-circuits.com/2011/12/how-to-build-simplest-variable-power.html A DPDT […]
Match Transistor Pairs Quickly using this Circuit
In many critical circuit applications, like power amplifiers, inverters, etc it becomes necessary to use matched transistor pairs having identical hFE gain. Not doing this possibly creates unpredictable output results, such as one transistor getting hotter than the other, or asymmetrical output conditions. By: David Corbill To eliminate this, matching transistor pairs with their Vbe […]
Capacitor Leakage Tester Circuit – Find Leaky Capacitors Quickly
This simple capacitor tester is capable of testing leaky electrolytic capacitors in the range of 1uf to 450uf. It can test large start and run capacitors as well as 1uf miniature capacitors rated at 10v. Once you understand the timing cycle, you can test down to 0.5uf and up to 650uf. By Henry Bowman How […]
