A PIR motion sensor alarm is a device which detects the infrared radiation from a moving human body and triggers an an audible alarm. In this post I have explained 5 simple motion detector circuits using op amp and transistor. We also discuss the pinout details of the standard passive infrared (PIR) sensor RE200B. We […]

In this post we are going to take a look at the popular LM 324 IC. We will be looking at the pin configuration, its important features and its technical specifications and finally we will be looking at some of the fundamental application circuits using LM 324. If you are looking for a low voltage […]
3 Best Transformerless Inverter Circuits
As the name suggests, an inverter circuit that converts a DC input into AC without depending on an inductor or a transformer is called a transformerless inverter. Since an inductor based transformer is not employed, the input DC is normally equal to the peak value of the AC generated at the output of the inverter. […]
4 Simple Proximity Sensor Circuits – Using IC LM358, IC LM567, IC 555
Video Demonstration An IR proximity sensor is a device which detects the presence of an object or a human when it is within a predetermined range from the sensor, through reflected infrared beams. Three useful proximity sensor concepts are explained here, the first concept is based on an ordinary opamp LM358, the second one using […]
