Video Demonstration An IR proximity sensor is a device which detects the presence of an object or a human when it is within a predetermined range from the sensor, through reflected infrared beams. Three useful proximity sensor concepts are explained here, the first concept is based on an ordinary opamp LM358, the second one using […]

Voltage Regulator Circuits and Projects
In this article I will comprehensively discuss how to make customized transistorized voltage regulator circuits in fixed modes and also variable modes. All linear power supply circuits which are designed to produce a stabilized, constant voltage and current output fundamentally incorporate transistor and zener diode stages for getting the required regulated outputs. These circuit projects […]
3 Terminal Fixed Voltage Regulators – Working and Application Circuits
The popular 3 terminal fixed regulators available today are in the form of IC 7805, IC 7809, IC 7812, IC 7815, and IC 7824, which correspond to fixed voltage outputs of 5 V, 9 V, 12 V, 15V, and 24 V. These are called fixed voltage regulators since these ICs are able to produce excellent […]
Simple Kitchen Timer Circuit – Egg Timer
A kitchen timer is a useful gadget which produces an alarm sound after a predetermined delay, as set by the user for specific time based food recipes that must be cooked only for a certain amount of time for best results. Written By: Suneeta Dixit One example is boiled eggs which may be either hard […]
Prevent Relay Arcing using RC Snubber Circuits
In this article I have explained the formula and techniques of configuring RC circuit networks for controlling the arcing across relay contacts while switching heavy inductive loads. Arc suppression An arc is produced across the contacts when a switch or a relay is opened. With time, this condition can wear down the contacts. To overcome […]
Simplest Combination Lock Circuit Explained
A electronic combination lock is a device which is designed to activate an electrical solenoid locking system whenever the correct combination of numbers are entered into an attached keypad. To build this type of electronic combination lock, normally an electronic circuit with a keypad is used. In the design I have explained in this article, […]
