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 […]
How to Make an Industrial Delay Timer Circuit
In this post we’ll study two simple externally triggered timer circuits for two different application needs, the ideas were requested by Mr. Alan and Ms.Stevanie Circuit Request#1 I only wish I understood electronics as you do. Would you please help me with a simple timer circuit which would be adjustable for up to 30 seconds […]
Water Saving Irrigation Circuit
In this article I have explained a simple water saving irrigation system circuit idea which can be used for implementing an efficient water management and control in farms and irrigation systems. The idea was requested by Mr. Ajinkya Sonwane, Mr. Akshay Kokane and Mr. Kunal Raut, studying in AISSMS IOIT College of Engineering. Circuit Objective […]
Timer Circuits with Auto Pause and Memory During Power Failures
In this post we try to investigate a couple of innovative solutions which could be used for pausing the counting process of a timer IC during power failures, and also restart the process when mains is restored, ensuring a continuous functioning of the timer without errors. The idea was requested by Mr. Arun Dev. Technical […]
