When we talk about hot-swap controllers, it is basically an electronic device or integrated circuit (IC) that allows you to the insert or/and remove circuit boards, modules or parts within an active system without having you to switch off the system. It regulates the surge current whenever a component is installed and protects from short […]

3 Phase Induction Motor Speed Controller Circuit
In this post I have explained the making of a simple 3 phase induction motor speed controller circuit, which can be also applied for a single phase induction motor or literally for any type of AC motor. When it comes to controlling the speed of induction motors, normally matrix converters are employed, involving many complex […]
2 Simple Bidirectional Motor Controller Circuits Explored
A circuit which allows a connected motor to operate in clockwise and anticlockwise directions through alternate input triggers is called a bidirectional controller circuit. The first design below discusses a Full bridge or H bridge based Bidirectional motor controller circuit using the 4 opamps from the IC LM324. In the second article I have explained […]
2 Automatic Heatsink Temperature Controller Circuit
In this post we study about a automatic fan speed regulator circuit for controlling the temperature of a heatsink and from preventing the temperature to reach dangerous levels. This approach is to ensure safeguarding of the connected devices wit the heatsink. Written by: Preeti Das With the help of this circuit the speed of a […]
Automatic Door Controller Circuit Diagram using a Single Push-Button
This door controller circuit works in this way: Initially the door is in the closed state. When a push button is pressed, the door begins opening until it reaches the end of the course. When it reaches the end, it automatically reverses its direction and now the door begins closing. It keeps moving until it […]
