The interfacing of power devices like BJTs, and MOSFETs with Arduino output is a crucial configuration which allows switching high power loads through low power outputs of an Arduino. In this article we elaborately discuss the correct methods of using or connecting transistors like BJTs and mosfets with any microcontroller or an Arduino. Such stages […]

Low Battery Indicator Circuit Using Two Transistors Only
In the following post I have explained a simple low battery indicator circuit by using just two inexpensive NPN transistors. The main feature of this circuit is its very low stand by current consumption. The Circuit Concept We have so far seen how to make a low battery indicator circuits using a 741 IC and […]
How to Use Transistors
If you have understood correctly, how to use transistors in circuits, you might have already conquered half of electronics and its principles. In this post we make an effort in this direction. Introduction Transistors are 3 terminal semiconductor devices which is able to conduct relatively high power across their two terminals, in response to a […]
How to Connect Two or More Transistors in Parallel
Connecting transistors in parallel is a process in which the identical pinouts of two or more transistors are connected together in a circuit in order to multiply the power handling capacity of the combined parallel transistor set. In this post I have explained how to safely connect multiple transistors in parallel, these can be BJTs […]
How to Make Any Light a Strobe Light Using Just Two Transistors
If you feel strobe lights very interesting but are disappointed by the fact that these wonderful light effects can be produced only through complex xenon tube then probably you are quite mistaken. It is very much possible to make any light a strobe light if you are equipped with a proper driving circuit capable of […]
Sequential Timer Circuit using Transistors
In this post I have explained to make a simple sequential timer generator circuit which can be used for getting a sequential triggering of a connected load, or can be simply used like a sequential LED bar graph effect generator, using only transistors. The idea was requested by Mr Babusan. Technical Specifications Is it possible […]
