3 Easy Capacitive Proximity Sensor Circuits Explored
In this post I will comprehensively discuss a 3 basic proximity sensor circuits with many application circuits and detailed features of the circuit. The first two capacitive proximity sensor circuits uses a simple IC 741 and IC 555 based concepts, while the last one is a bit more accurate and incorporates a precision IC PCF8883 […]
2 Easy Automatic Inverter/Mains AC Changeover Circuits
I have been put forth with this question many times in this blog, how do we add a changeover selector switch for automatically toggling of an inverter when AC mains is present and vice versa. And also the system must enable automatic switching of the battery charger such that when AC mains is present the […]

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 […]
7 Easy Sawtooth Waveform Generator Circuits using UJT, IC 555, and Transistors
In this post I have explained how to build 7 types of easy sawtooth generator circuits, using BJTs, UJTs, and IC 555. In a sawtooth waveform the voltage increases slowly in a slanting manner or diagonally, then as soon as it reaches the peak, the waveform voltage suddenly drops to zero. Once it drops to […]
