The idea was requested by Mr. Collins. Circuit Objectives and Requirements 1) The Design Parts List IC 555Pinouts Circuit Operation The proposed smart yet […]
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 […]
Voltage Regulator Circuits and Projects
In this article I will comprehensively discuss how to make customized transistorized voltage regulator circuits in fixed modes and also variable modes. All linear power supply circuits which are designed to produce a stabilized, constant voltage and current output fundamentally incorporate transistor and zener diode stages for getting the required regulated outputs. These circuit projects […]
