In this post I have explained how to build 7 types of easy sawtooth generator circuits, using BJTs, UJTs, and IC 555. In a sawtooth waveform the voltage increases slowly in a slanting manner or diagonally, then as soon as it reaches the peak, the waveform voltage suddenly drops to zero. Once it drops to […]

Cube Light Circuits
In this post I have explained how to make simple yet fascinating cube light circuits, in which LEDs are connected inside a plastic cube to produce interesting illuminating effects. All the designs presented below are very simple to build and do not involve any complex microcontroller or Arduino coding. Why a Cube Because cube lights […]
7 Accurate Square Wave Oscillator Circuits
In this article I will comprehensively discuss 7 accurate RC square wave oscillator circuits with 50% duty cycle, by appropriately configuring the gates from various CMOS ICs such as 4001, 4011, 4093, 4046, 4047, 4016, 4060 etc. and also using op amps. Definition The square wave oscillators included in this article can be defined as […]
DC to DC Converter Circuits using SG3524 [Buck, Boost Designs]
A DC to DC converter is basically a switch-mode power supply, designed to work either as a boost-converter to step-up a low voltage DC to a higher voltage DC, or as a buck-converter to step-down a higher voltage DC to a lower voltage DC. The switched mode conversion ensures that the power transfer in the […]
RF Amplifier Circuits and RF Converters
In this article I have explained a few high frequency RF converter and preamplifier circuit designs which can be used for amplifying or enhancing the reception of an existing RF receiver. All the RF amplifier circuits provided below are intended to be placed near an existing amateur radio receiver or a matching radio set in […]
Simple FET Circuits and Projects
The Field-Effect Transistor or the FET is a 3 terminal semiconductor device which is used for switching high power DC loads through negligible power inputs. The FET comes with some unique features such as a high input impedance (in the megohms) and with almost zero loading on a signal source or the attached preceding stage. […]
