The LM2673 series of regulators is a collection of monolithic integrated circuits that are designed to provide all the active functions needed for making a step-down, or buck converter, switching regulator circuit. This means that they are capable of driving loads of up to 3 amps while maintaining excellent line and load regulation characteristics. One […]

UP DOWN Logic Sequence Controller Circuit
Using a set of latch/reset networks it becomes possible to allow a logic to move in a forward sequence, switching ON a given set of outputs HIGH, in response to an alternating input clock. And once the max limit is reached, the input clocks begin shutting down or withdrawing the sequence in the opposite order. […]
Understanding Pull-Up and Pull-Down Resistors with Diagrams and Formulas
In this post I am going to explain pull-Up resistor and pull-down resistor, why they are commonly used in electronic circuits, what happens to electronic circuits without Pull-Up or Pull-down resistor, and How to calculate Pull-Up and Pull-down resistor values and finally we will see about open collector configuration. How Logic Inputs and Outputs Work […]
How to Make Step Down Transformers
A step down transformer is a device which reduces a higher AC potential to a lower AC potential as per its winding ratio and specifications. In this article we are going to discuss how to design and construct a basic step down transformer which are typically applied in mains-operated power supplies. Introduction This will likely […]
Up/Down LED Indicator using LM3915
This circuit can be used for moving an LED bar graph in the upward sequence or downward sequence through a couple of push button switches. The concept can be implemented for many other useful applications. Using IC LM3915 In many circuit applications we require a digitally operated control system enabling an upward or downward control […]
Digital Up/Down Volume Control Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple digital volume control circuit using the IC DS1668 which can be used in amplifiers and all audio equipment for achieving a push button press up/down volume control facility. What are Electronic Rheostats The DS1668 and DS1669 Dallastats are electronic rheostats or potentiometers. These devices present 64 possible […]
