Despite its simplicity, the Battery Low Voltage Alarm circuit has a very important function. It forewarns you of approaching battery failure so that you may run to the store and get replacement cells before your equipment stops functioning entirely. Because of its compact size and low current need, it may be integrated into the devices […]

How to Connect LM338 IC in Parallel to Increase Output Current
The LM338 is an adjustable 3-terminal positive voltage regulator capable of providing up to 5 amperes of output current. To increase the output current capability, you can connect multiple LM338 ICs in parallel. When you connect them in parallel, each IC will share the load current, allowing you to achieve higher total current handling capacity. […]
Mains 220 V AC Line Filter Circuit for Transient Suppression
The 220 V mains AC line filter circuit described here has two functions: it prevents high-frequency waves from being sent back into the power network and it protects connected equipment from power line disturbances and surges. This circuit employs a number of components, such as capacitors, resistors, inductors, and a varistor, which are deliberately positioned […]
Control Lights, Fan, using TV Remote [Full Circuit Diagram]
In today’s world, the idea of control is strongly connected to the ability to use remote devices. Home automation, known as domotics, allows us to switch ON/OFF various things such as televisions, hi-fi systems, blinds, curtains, garage gates, and even the brightness of lights using a small control unit. The signals for controlling these devices […]
Mains AC Current Detector Switch Circuit
The circuit I have I have explained in this article allows one to detect the current consumed by a device and to power one or more other devices accordingly. Indeed, the solution of a switchboard is not always applicable because it is often not very practical. Furthermore, some devices such as computers only start when […]
LM195/LM395 Power Transistors Explained [Enhanced Power Transistors with Full Internal Protections]
The LM195 and LM395 are both high efficiency power transistors that were initially manufactured by National Semiconductor Corporation, and later acquired by “Texas Instruments”. These special power transistors are intended to be used in high power switching applications, where low power dissipation and high current gain are critical parameters. These special power transistors are virtually […]
