In this post we are going to build a drag race timer circuit using a 7 segment display and commonly available discrete components which can measure the time taken for a car or any other vehicle from start line to finish line. The proposed circuit is fully automatic, meaning it can start and stop the […]
Timer and Delay Relay
Single Mosfet Timer Circuit
The following article discusses the use of a mosfet as a switch for toggling high current loads efficiently. The circuit can be also transformed into a delay OFF circuit with simple modifications. The design was requested by Mr.Roderel Masibay. Comparing Mosfet with BJT A field effect transistor or mosfet can be compared with a bjt […]
Input Trigger Synchronized Monostable Timer Using IC 555
Here we study a simple IC 555 based monostable circuit whose output monostable time duration starts only after the input trigger is released thus making sure that the trigger ON time duration is added with the monostable’s pre-programmed ON time duration. The idea was requested by Mr. John Brogan Technical Specifications I would like to […]
Digital Clock Activated Water Level Controller Circuit
An automatic clock time triggered water level controller circuit which responds to a real time clock input is discussed in the following article. The design also includes a water detection stage which makes sure the initialization takes place only in the presence of water in the tank or the pipe. The idea was requested by […]
Digital Clock Synchronized Programmable Timer Circuit
I have already discussed one programmable timer circuit in this blog earlier, the circuit involves the IC 4060 for generating the basic oscillations which is further used for generating the required time intervals, however this cannot be synchronized with an external clock. The following circuit was requested by Mr.Amit, here the concept makes use of a clock for acquiring the required base timing […]
Delay based Motor Speed Controller Circuit – Timer Controlled
In this post I have explained a delay OFF adjustable motor controller circuit so that the motor can be assigned a fixed predetermined operating time, or delay OFF time. The idea was requested by Mr. Cribey Technical Specifications I really like your website. It is very helpful for so many people. I am trying to […]
