A anti-spy or bug detector circuit is a device that detects hidden wireless electronic devices such as wireless microphones, spy cameras, Wi-Fi devices, GPS trackers or any gadget that emits some kind of radio frequency (RF). The proposed design can be specifically used as: Overview Also called anti spy RF sniffer, these are usually used […]

How Transformers Work
According to the definition given in Wikipedia an electrical transformer is a stationary equipment that exchanges electrical power across a couple of closely wound coils, through magnetic induction. A constantly altering current in one winding of the transformer generates a varying magnetic flux, which, consequently, induces a varying electromotive force over a second coil built […]
Prevent Amplifier Fuse from Blowing During Power Switch ON
Is your power amplifier fuse blowing during power switch ON? It could be happening due to the initial high current drawn by the loudspeakers, when power is switched ON. The simple amplifier fuse protection circuits presented here can be effectively used for solving the issue. The problem is commonly seen in high power amplifiers, where […]
9 Useful LDR Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained 9 LDR circuit projects that uses LDR light sensor to trigger a load ON/OFF through a relay. These circuits are mostly triggered by the absence or the presence of light on the LDR. The circuits are built using transistors, op amps and LDR along with a switching relay. Let’s […]
Ice Warning Circuit for Automobiles
Devices that react to variations in atmosphere or fluid heat are simple to construct due to the easy availability of thermistors. This car ice warning circuit explains how to implement a thermistor like a transducer in a circuit that continuously blinks a warning lamp as soon as the atmospheric temperature drops to around 0 °C. […]
Photodiode, Phototransistor – Working and Application Circuits
Photodiodes and phototransistors are semiconductor devices which have their p-n semiconductor junction exposed to light through a transparent cover, so that external light can react and force an electrical conduction through the junction. How Photodiodes Work A photodiode is just like a regular semiconductor diode (example 1N4148) consisting of a p-n junction, but it has […]
