Boolean algebra is a assortment of basic mathematical techniques applied to signify and communicate the logical procedures that happen within a digital circuit. Difference Between Boolean Algebra and Common Algebra Boolean algebra is much like common algebra. The main distinction is that in contrast to common algebra, in which we have parameters that can be […]

How Contactless Infrared Thermometers Work – How to Make One
In this post I have explained the basic working concept of thermal scanners or contactless IR thermometers, and also learn how to make a practical DIY prototype of the unit without Arduino. In the post COVID-19 era, witnessing doctors holding a contactless temperature gun and pointing toward the forehead of a COVID-19 suspect is a […]
Simple Triac Triggering Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained the fundamental methods of triggering a triac, and also discuss the right way to connect the terminals of a triac. Triacs are solid-state bidirectional thyristors that can switch across both the AC half cycles on a 120-volt or 240-volt Ac power system. A triac could be activated (switched on and […]
Understanding MOSFET Avalanche Rating, Testing and Protection
In this post I have explained MOSFET avalanche ratings, and learn how to understand this rating in the datasheet correctly, how the parameter is tested by the manufacturer, and measures to protect MOSFETs from this phenomenon. The avalanche parameter not only helps to verify the devices ruggedness, it additionally helps filtering out weaker MOSFETs or […]
High Stability of Crystals in Oscillator Circuits
The stability of good quality RC oscillators can be expected to be around 0.1%, while normally we can assume the stability of LC oscillators to be up to 0.01%. When a much higher level of stability is required, we have to use a crystal based oscillator circuit. The main reason why crystals are so important […]
What are the Different Types of Transformers? Explained
In this post I am going to explain different types of electrical transformers that are used in a wide variety of applications. Transformers can be classified in many different ways, for example: based on their input / output character, voltage, frequency, application, power handling capacity etc. In this post we will be exploring all the […]
