Have you ever turned up your amplifier all the way, either at a party or just for fun? You may have noticed that “it gets hot” and thought that a fan would be useful. However, at low listening levels, you can hear the fan running. With this circuit, the fan will be automatically controlled by […]

Simple Colpitts Oscillator Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained how LC oscillator circuits functions and we will be constructing one of the popular LC based oscillator – Colpitts oscillator. What are Oscillators Electronic oscillators are used in most of our daily used electronic gadgets ranging from digital clock to high end core i7 processor. Oscillators are heart of […]
Transistor Multivibrator Circuits [Astable, Bistable, Monostable]
A transistor or BJT multivibrator is a two-stage switching circuit that is configured in a cross-coupled manner. This allows each of the active BJT stages to be regeneratively cross-coupled with the other BJT stage, so that one switches ON when the other switches OFF, and vice versa. This cross-coupling may be set up to switch either a […]
