There are many cases where it is desirable to actively regulate the operating temperature of an electronic assembly. Sometimes, it is imperative to dissipate the heat generated by the components (this is the case for the majority of microprocessors in our modern PCs). On the contrary, it is necessary to artificially increase the operating temperature […]

Make a Simplest Temperature Indicator Circuit
A very simple temperature indicator circuit can be built by interconnecting a single transistor, a diode and a few other passive components. Using Transistor as a Heat Sensor As we know that all semiconductors have this “bad habit” of changing its basic characteristics in response to ambient temperature changes. Especially basic electronic components like transistors […]
Simple Greenhouse Temperature Regulator Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple electronic temperature regulator circuit which could be specifically used for regulating greenhouse temperatures. The idea was requested by Mr. Leo. Technical Specifications I am looking for a guide to build a basic temp regulator circuit. I have a solar charger bought from lidl,(SLS 2200 A1) which has […]
Temperature Controlled Relay Switch Circuit
In this article I have explained a simple temperature controlled relay circuit which can be switched ON/OFF depending on the temperature on its temperature sensor. Meaning, when the temperature on its temperature sensor rises above a set threshold point, the relay switches ON, and when the temperature drops below the threshold, the relay switches OFF. […]
Simple Temperature Indicator Circuits using Thermistors
A thermometer may be required for the precise measurement of temperatures. However, in many cases, an absolute value isn’t required and a relative estimate is sufficient. For example, the consumer may be alerted to the fact that an electric drill or vacuum cleaner is becoming hot, through a basic LED illumination, or through changing color […]
3 Useful Temperature Alarm Circuits Explained
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) […]
