In this article I have explained about a peak detector circuit, its working principle and how to implement it in clap operated circuits for illuminating an LED in response to clap sounds. What is Peak Detector A peak detector is a circuit which holds maximum amplitude value of a signal. If a signal varies rapidly […]

High Voltage Constant Current Source Circuit
The presented circuit offers an adjustable constant current source capable of reaching up to 60mA, operating at voltages as high as 350V. Circuit Description The input stage, consisting of resistor R1 and zener diode ZD1, delivers 8V to the regulator (a 7805), maintaining this voltage relative to its reference line. This voltage level ensures sufficient […]
Adjustable Voltage Regulator Circuit using LM324 IC with Over Current Protection
In this post I have explained how a single LM324 IC can be used to create an adjustable voltage regulator circuit with overload and over current protections. Basic Working A basic IC LM324 quad operational amplifier regulates an unregulated 28-volt input source to approximately ±0.02%, resulting in a 1 amp 0 to -20 V supply. The […]
Mains High Low Voltage Protection Circuit with Delay Monitor
In this post I have explained an upgraded version of my previous mains 220V/120V high-low voltage cut off protection circuit which now includes a delayed restoration of power for the load with 3 LED power status indicators. The idea was requested by one of the dedicated members of this website. Circuit Objectives and Requirements Main […]
3 Tested 220V High and Low Voltage Cut OFF Circuits Using IC LM324 and Transistors
An AC mains high/low cut-off device will cut off or disconnect the mains supply from home electrical whenever a high voltage or low voltage situation is detected. In this way it ensures total safety to the home wiring and appliances from fire hazards, due to abnormal over voltages, brown outs or low voltages. In this […]
