2 Digital Potentiometer Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained a 2 simple, single chip digital potentiometer circuits which can be controlled through a single pushbutton, a dual pushbutton (up/down) or even through external digital (CMOS/TTL) input triggers. 1) About DS1869 Dallastat TM is a rheostat or potentiometer. This unit delivers 64 conceivable consistent tap outputs over the over-all […]
2 Simple MOSFET Gate Driver Circuits using BJTs
Very often we see that output coming from a microcontroller, oscillator, comparator, or PWM stage is just not strong enough for driving a power MOSFET directly, it gives signal, yes, but gate does not respond properly unless some decent current reaches there. A MOSFET gate behaves like a small capacitor, so now unless that gate […]
4 Simple VU Meter Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained how to build 4 interesting VU meter circuits, using LEDs and using a moving coil meter. What is a VU Meter VU meter or a volume unit meter circuit is a device used for indicating the music volume output from an amplifier or a loudspeaker system. It may be […]
6 Simple Capacitance Meter Circuits Explained – Using IC 555 and IC 74121
In this post I will talk about 6 easy yet accurate capacitance meter circuits using the ubiquitous IC 555 and many other easily available ICs. How Capacitors Work Capacitors are one of the main electronic components which come under the passive component family. These are extensively used in electronic circuits and virtually no circuit can […]
How to Make a Digital Voltmeter, Ammeter Module Circuits
In this article I have explained how to build a digital voltmeter and a digital ammeter combined circuit module for measuring DC volts and current through different ranges, digitally. Introduction Electrical parameters like voltage and current are inherently associated with electronics and with electronic engineers. Any electronic circuit would be just incomplete without appropriate supply […]
