Toy Motor Circuit with Timed Reverse Forward Action
In this post I have explained a simple programmed reverse forward motor circuit which is used for accomplishing a toy application. The idea was requested by Mr. Matthew. Technical Specifications I am a new follower of your website which is a great resource! I need your help designing a circuit please. My daughter has a […]
Ion Detector Circuit [Static Discharge Detector]
The following post discusses a simple ion detector circuit which can be used for detecting positive and negative ions generated by high voltage circuits. This device can be also used for detecting static discharges in the atmosphere. Static discharge is normally emitted by high voltage sources such as sparks, arcing etc. It may be also […]

In this article I have explained how to use NAND Gates from the IV 4093 or any other similar IC consisting of NAND gates. About IC 4093 The IC 4093 may not have complicated specifications and attributes yet it proposes many useful utilities. It consists of some fundamental blocks which can be configured according to […]
DC Lamp Dimmer Circuit using IC 555
In this post I have explained how to use the control pin#5 of the IC 555 to build a simple PWM controlled DC light dimmer circuit. The proposed DC lamp dimmer can be used for controlling the light intensity of any DC lamp having an operating voltage anywhere between 6 V and 12 V. The […]
Transistor Multivibrator Circuits [Astable, Bistable, Monostable]
A transistor or BJT multivibrator is a two-stage switching circuit that is configured in a cross-coupled manner. This allows each of the active BJT stages to be regeneratively cross-coupled with the other BJT stage, so that one switches ON when the other switches OFF, and vice versa. This cross-coupling may be set up to switch either a […]
