In this post I have explained 2 simple concepts for making solid-state triac based Inverter/mains AC changeover circuit, the idea was requested by Music girl. Technical Specifications I would like to replace the SPDT relay with 2 scr’s. Would you consider a circuit to replace those changeover relays? I believe a relay would need to […]

SPDT Solid State DC Relay Circuit using MOSFET
In this post we’ll study a simple high current mosfet based SPDT DC relay, which can be used in place conventional bulky SPDT mechanical relays. The idea was requested by Mr. Abu-Hafss. Working Concept A simple high current SPDT solid state DC relay or a DC SSR can be constructed using a couple of mosfets […]
Monitoring State of a Switch (Digital Read Serial) – Arduino Basics
This Arduino basics discusses the method of implementing a code through which the ON or OFF state of an external push-button could be read or monitored within the Arduino. Digital Read Serial Here I have explained through an example how to monitor the state of a switch by performing serial communication across your Arduino and your PC via USB. In excess to your […]
Understanding IC 4043B, IC 4044B CMOS Quad 3-State R/S Latch – Working and Pinouts
In this post I have explained the pinout function and other important specifications of the IC 4043. I have explained about the complete datasheet of this very interesting chip. Pinout Datasheet of IC 4043 Technically the IC 4043 is a quad set/reset (R/S) latch with 3 logic state output. To be more precise this chip […]
220V Solid State Relay (SSR) Circuit using Triac and OptoCoupler
An AC mains solid state relay or SSR is a device which is used for switching heavy AC loads at mains level, through isolated minimal DC voltage triggers, without incorporating mechanical moving contacts. In this post I have explained how to construct a simple mains operated solid state relay or an SSR circuit using a […]
