This circuit is basically a simple yet extremely accurate push button monostable timer using one half of a CD4538 dual monostable multivibrator IC. It works as a one-shot timer, where one press and release of S1 produces one timed output pulse. This pulse turns ON the BC557 transistor and the LED for around 7 seconds, […]

Accurate Transistor Tester Circuits Explored
In this article we talk about a few simple yet accurate transistor tester circuits which can used to identify whether a transistor is good or bad. Note: Please test *only* BJTs and MOSFETs (enhancement or depletion) with these circuits. Simple Good/Bad Transistor Checker using a Single LED Do you have a lot of strange old transistors […]
3 Accurate Infrared Intruder Alarm Circuits using Photodiodes
In this post I have explained 3 simple yet accurate infrared intruder alarm circuits using an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver module. The transmitter and the receiver photo diodes used in the two modules are aligned in line at a distance of around 2 meters within the restricted area. When a burglar tries to […]
