The following article discusses a few very simple intrusion detector circuits, or ant-theft alarms. The presented designs are easy to build yet extremely effective with the functions. How the Circuits Works An intruder alarm basically consists of a sensor and a trigger stages, which work together to produce the required detection. The sensor detects the presence […]

3 Simple DC UPS Circuits for Modem/Router
In the following article I have explained 3 useful DC to DC uninterruptible power supply circuits or DC UPS circuits for low DC to DC uninterruptible power applications The first idea below presents a DC UPS circuit can be used for providing back up power to modems or routers during mains failures, so that the broadband/WiFi […]
9 Useful LDR Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained 9 LDR circuit projects that uses LDR light sensor to trigger a load ON/OFF through a relay. These circuits are mostly triggered by the absence or the presence of light on the LDR. The circuits are built using transistors, op amps and LDR along with a switching relay. Let’s […]
9 Simple Metal Detector Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained 9 simple metal detector circuits using LC tuned concept, magnetic absorption concept, and the beat frequency oscillator (BFO) concept. The BFO technique is considered to be the most accurate and reliable methods of detecting metals. 1) Metal Detector Circuit Using a Single UJT The first metal detector circuit shown […]
Designing Simple Power Supply Circuits
In this post I have explained how to design and build a simple power supply circuit right from the basic design to the reasonably sophisticated power supply having extended features. Power Supply is Indispensable Whether it’s an electronic noob or an expert engineer, all require this indispensable piece of equipment called the power supply unit. This is because no electronics […]
