Five simple yet effective electronic toggle flip flop switch circuits can be built around the IC 4017, IC 4093, and IC 4013. We will see how these can be implemented for switching a relay alternately ON OFF by alternately pressing a single push-button or through touch pads, which in turn will switch an electronic load […]

3 Laser Beam Controlled Circuits Explored
A compact, battery-powered transmitter emits a LASER beam when the control push button is activated. The beam is frequency-coded to provide a maximum level of reliability in transmission. The receiver can be located at a considerable distance from the transmitter (up to several tens of meters). The light beam, by definition, remains highly focused, and […]
3 Frequency to Voltage Converter Circuits Explained
As the name suggests frequency to voltage converters are devices that convert a varying frequency input into a correspondingly varying output voltage levels. Here we study three easy yet advanced designs using IC 4151, IC VFC32 and IC LM2907. 1) Using IC 4151 This frequency voltage converter circuit using IC 4151 is characterized by its […]
3 Easy Capacitive Proximity Sensor Circuits Explored
In this post I will comprehensively discuss a 3 basic proximity sensor circuits with many application circuits and detailed features of the circuit. The first two capacitive proximity sensor circuits uses a simple IC 741 and IC 555 based concepts, while the last one is a bit more accurate and incorporates a precision IC PCF8883 […]
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. […]
3 Automatic Fish Aquarium Light Optimizer Circuits
In this post I have explained a 3 beautiful fish aquarium light optimizer circuits your fishes will love. These are designed to automatically control the illumination of a group of appropriately selected LEDs with respect to the varying daylight and after darkness sets in. The first idea was requested by Mr. Amit 1) Sun light […]
