In this post I have explained a simple temperature to voltage converter circuit using IC LM317. The idea was requested by one of the dedicated members of this blog. Technical Specifications I have eurotherm TS200A temperature controller.this is thyrister based. This required 0-5V control voltage. I want one temperature control circuit when temperature is 25deg […]

Voltage-Divider Bias in BJT Circuits – More Stability without beta Factor
Biasing the terminals of a bipolar transistor using a calculated resistive divider network for ensuring an optimal performance and switching response is called voltage divider biasing. In the previous bias designs that I have explained the bias current ICQ and voltage VCEQ were a function of the current gain (β) of the BJT. But, as we […]
Battery Low Voltage Alarm Circuit
Despite its simplicity, the Battery Low Voltage Alarm circuit has a very important function. It forewarns you of approaching battery failure so that you may run to the store and get replacement cells before your equipment stops functioning entirely. Because of its compact size and low current need, it may be integrated into the devices […]
5 KVA to 10 KVA Automatic Voltage Stabilizer – 220 Volts, 120 Volts
Voltage stabilizer in the range of kVAs are powerful AC voltage stabilizer units specially designed for controlling and stabilizing high voltage fluctuations, for high power electrical equipment. In this article I have explained an easy to build a 7 stage high wattage in the order of 5000 to 1000 watts stabilizer circuit which can be […]
Simple High voltage Generator Circuit – Arc Generator
A simple high voltage generator circuit is explained here which can be used to step up any DC level to about 20 times or depending upon the transformer secondary rating. Circuit Operation As can be visualized in the shown high voltage arc generator circuit diagram, it employs a standard transistor blocking oscillator configuration for generating […]
Simple Voltage-to-Current and Current-to-Voltage Techniques – By James H. Reinholm
There are many types of voltage-to-current and current-to-voltage converter circuits, and most of them use a combination of opamps and transistors to achieve a high level of accuracy. But when high accuracy isn’t necessary, a simple converter of this type can be made using just one or two resistors. Resistor as Voltage to Current Converter […]
