In this post I have explained some important current mirror circuits, and how to design practical circuits using current mirror concepts. Current Mirror Definition A current mirror is a circuit that copies a current through one active device by regulating the current in another active device in the circuit, maintaining a constant output current independent […]

RGB Light Strip Controller Circuits
In this post we are going to see how we can construct an RGB LED light strip controller circuit for PC cabinets and also for general decoration purposes. In this post we will construct a couple of RGB light strip controller designs, one for a PC cabinets and one for general purpose which can be […]
3 Accurate Infrared Intruder Alarm Circuits using Photodiodes
In this post I have explained 3 simple yet accurate infrared intruder alarm circuits using an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver module. The transmitter and the receiver photo diodes used in the two modules are aligned in line at a distance of around 2 meters within the restricted area. When a burglar tries to […]
Simple 10 Watt Amplifier Circuits using Transistors
In this post I will comprehensively explain 3 easy to build 10 watt power amplifier circuits, which can be built using discrete parts, such as resistors, transistors, and MOSFETs. The MOSFETs used in these designs are the ordinary IRF540 and IRF9540, that are easily avail;able in the market and are quite inexpensive. True Complementary 10 […]
CMOS Astable, Bistable, Monostable Circuits Explained
In this article I have explained how to use the low-cost CD4001 and CD4011 quad 2-input gate CMOS integrated circuits in bistable, astable, and monostable multivibrator applications through forty different manners. We also learn how to enhance and modify these configurations to produce highly improved outputs from these multivibrators. When CMOS logic gates are configured […]
IC 4047 Astable, Monostable Oscillator Circuits
In an IC 4047 astable oscillator circuit, the output of the IC continuously generates a switching ON/OFF signal. Since the output is never in a stable state and constantly switches between and low and high, it is called an astable multivibrator. The astable ON/OFF switching frequency is adjustable and can be varied by changing the […]
