An FM transmitter circuit is a high frequency wireless device which is able to transmit voice signals into atmosphere so that it can be received by a corresponding FM receiver circuit for reproducing the voice signals in a loudspeaker. Here we’ll discuss how to build small FM transmitter circuits using 10 different methods, one that […]

ACS712 Current Sensor Circuit Diagrams and Datasheet
Here we are going to learn one cool and very important current sensor device which we call ACS712. This small chip that look just like a normal 8-pin IC, is actually able to sense current from any load and give us a proportional analog voltage output which we can easily feed to Arduino or any […]
110V, 14V, 5V SMPS Circuit – Detailed Diagrams with Illustrations
In this post I have explained how to apply the IC L6565 for making a compact multi purpose 110V, 14V, 5V SMPS circuit using minimum number of external components. Implementing quasi-resonant ZVS flyback The IC L6565 from ST Microelectronics is designed as a current-mode primary controller chip, to specifically suit quasi-resonant ZVS flyback converter applications. The […]
Simple Boost Converter Circuit Diagrams using Transistors
In this post I have explained a few very simple boost converter circuits using only BJTs, or transistors. Let’s learn more. What is a Boost Converter A DC boost converter circuit is designed for stepping-up or boosting a small input voltage levels to a desired higher output voltage level, hence the name “boost” converter. Since […]
10 Simple Unijunction Transistor (UJT) Circuit Diagrams Explained
In the earlier post I have explained comprehensively about how a unijunction transistor works, in this post I will elucidate a few interesting application circuits using this amazing device called UJT. The example application circuits using UJT which are explained in the article are: 1) Square Wave Pulse Generator The first design below demonstrates a […]
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 […]
