LM317 Variable Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS)
So far in this website we have studied LM317 based linear power supply circuits, here I have explained how an LM317 can be executed as a variable switch mode power or SMPS with zero loss. LM317 as Linear Regulator We all know that an LM317 IC is internally designed to work as a linear voltage […]
SPDT Relay Switch Circuit using Triac
An efficient solid state single pole double throw or SPDT switch can be built using triacs for replacing a mechanical SPDT. In this post I have explained a simple solid state triac SPDT relay circuit, using an optocoupler and a couple of triacs, which can be used as an effective replacement for mechanical relays. The […]
7 Best Touch Sensor Switch Circuits Explored
In this post I have explained 8 easy methods of building touch sensor switch circuits at home, which can be used for switching 220 V appliances ON/OFF with mere finger touch operat ions. The first one is a simple touch sensor switch using a single IC 4017, the second one employs a Schmidt trigger IC, […]
Ultrasonic Smart Automatic ON/OFF Switch Circuit
In this article we are going to build a smart automatic ON/OFF switch using Arduino, which can turn on or off gadgets automatically by sensing the presence of human nearby through the concept of ultrasonic. We are going to use ultrasonic module and Arduino to sense the presence of human which activates the gadgets such […]
3 Sound Activated Switch Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained 3 simple sound activated relay switch circuits which can used as a module for any system that might be assigned to trigger by detecting some kind of sound pressure level. Or simply applications such as a voice activated alarm security circuit. 1) Circuit Objective Utilizing this basic sound activated […]
