This is probably the simplest radio receiver circuit that one could ever imagine of making. The circuit is so simple that it could be finished assembling within a few minutes and you are already listening your favorite programs over it. Introduction What are the fundamental criteria associated with radio reception? An antenna stage, a band […]

Single Transistor LED Flasher Circuit
It is possibly the smallest LED flasher to date, which is able to flash an LED ON/OFF infinitely using a single transistor, a resistor, and a capacitor. Can you imagine making a great looking LED flasher or blinker with just a single transistor and a couple of other passive parts? That’s exactly what I have […]
Solving Darlington Transistor Formulas and Calculations
Now in this post you will learn about this amazing BJT device which is called Darlington Transistor. It got this name after genius engineer Sidney Darlington who first gave this idea, so we remember him. What Is Inside Darlington Transistor Basically this device is like special combo of two normal NPN or PNP bipolar junction […]
How to make a Transistor Latch Circuit
In this post I have explained how to make a simple transistor latch circuit using just two BJTs and a few resistors. Introduction A transistor latch is a circuit which latches ON with a permanent high output in response to a momentary input high signal, and continues to stay in this position as long as […]
10 Simple Unijunction Transistor (UJT) Circuit Diagrams Explained
In the earlier post I have explained comprehensively about how a unijunction transistor works, in this post I will elucidate a few interesting application circuits using this amazing device called UJT. The example application circuits using UJT which are explained in the article are: 1) Square Wave Pulse Generator The first design below demonstrates a […]
Accurate Transistor Tester Circuits Explored
In this article we talk about a few simple yet accurate transistor tester circuits which can used to identify whether a transistor is good or bad. Note: Please test *only* BJTs and MOSFETs (enhancement or depletion) with these circuits. Simple Good/Bad Transistor Checker using a Single LED Do you have a lot of strange old transistors […]
