In this post I have explained the working of 3 interesting and useful temperature alarm circuits through detailed circuit diagrams. A temperature alarm circuit is basically a device which is designed to detect a temperature threshold and sound an alarm as soon the temperature exceeds over, or drops below the desired temperature detection threshold. 1) […]

5 Simple Preamplifier Circuits Explained
As the name suggests a preamplifier circuit pre-amplifies a very small signal to some specified level that can be further amplified by an attached power amplifier circuit. It basically acts like a buffer stage between the input small signal source and a power amplifier. A preamplifier is used in applications where the input signal is […]

The 801S vibration sensor is a typical vibration detection and measurement module. The following are some of its main technical features, datasheet and characteristics: Datasheet in Details The 801S vibration sensor is very sensitive and can pick up even the smallest vibrations in its surroundings. Frequency Range: The module is made to detect vibrations that […]
LM195/LM395 Power Transistors Explained [Enhanced Power Transistors with Full Internal Protections]
The LM195 and LM395 are both high efficiency power transistors that were initially manufactured by National Semiconductor Corporation, and later acquired by “Texas Instruments”. These special power transistors are intended to be used in high power switching applications, where low power dissipation and high current gain are critical parameters. These special power transistors are virtually […]
Accumulators Explained [Rechargeable Batteries]
Unlike dry batteries, whose stored electrical energy can only be used once, accumulators have the immense advantage of reversibility, which translates into the possibility of a series of charge/discharge cycles. This means that they can undergo a series of charge/discharge cycles. They are found in applications that may require more power, such as starting the […]
IC 4020 Datasheet, Pinout Functioning Explained
The IC CD4020 is a 14-bit Binary Counter IC, manufactured by Texas Instruments. It consists of 12 output pins numbered Q1 to Q14, except Q2 and Q3. Whenever an Input clock pulse is applied to the clock pin of the IC, the binary value is increased from 00 0000 0000 0000 to 11 1111 1111 […]
