Mains 20 Watt Electronic Ballast Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple 20 watt fluorescent ballast circuit using a single chip FAN7711 from Fairchild semiconductor. The proposed mains 220V operated, 20 watt fluorescent ballast circuit is built around an LCC resonant tank and a half-bridge network. Implementing Zero Voltage Switching The main features and operations may be understood with […]
Electronic Cricket Sound Generator Circuit
In this post I have explained how to build a simple cricket chirping sound generator circuit using a single IC 4093 and a few other passive components. An electronic cricket sound generator is a device which generates a sound exactly similar to a real cricket insect. This is done using a set of oscillators configured […]
Electronic Candle Flame Simulator Circuit
This electronic candle accurately imitates the flickering flame of a lit wick, but it remains considerably cleaner, doesn’t drip, and poses no risk of setting your interior on fire. It only requires a handful of ordinary components and is powered directly from the mains with minimal energy consumption. Its lifespan will be exceptionally long. How […]
Electronic Engine Speed Governor Circuit
In this post I have explained an electronic engine speed governor or controller circuit using an RPM feedback signal loop through a hall effect sensor network. The idea was requested by Mr. Imsa Naga. Circuit Objectives and Requirements Thank you very much for your time. I believe this circuit would be suitable for a single […]
Electronic Door for Pets Circuit – Opens when Pet Nears the Door
In this post I have explained a simple electronic door circuit for pets which can be used as an electronic dog door for allowing only your specific pet dog to use the entrance, while keeping it locked for “strangers”. The idea was requested by Mr. Dave Monette. Circuit Objectives It’s been a while since we […]
