10 Easy Op-amp Oscillator Circuit Diagrams Explained
In an op amp oscillator circuit, an op amp is configured with a resistor-capacitor feedback loop or a inductor-capacitor feedback loop, which triggers the op amp to go into an oscillating mode, generating a switching ON/OFF pulses from its output pin. The high-gain and wide passband of operational amplifier (op amp) ICs makes it possible […]
10 Best Timer Circuit Diagrams using IC 555
The circuits I have explained here are 10 best small timer circuits using the versatile chip IC 555, which generates predetermined time intervals in response to momentary input triggers. The time intervals can be used for keeping a relay controlled load ON or activated for the desired amount of time and an automatic switch OFF […]
