IC 4026 is comprised of a 5-stage Johnson decade counter and an output decoder that transforms the Johnson code into a 7-segment decoded output to drive a single 7 segment numerical display. These devices offer significant advantages in display applications that prioritize low power dissipation and/or low package count. Both sides of IC 4026 have […]

Cathode Ray Oscilloscopes – Working and Operational Details
In this post I will elaborately explain how Cathode Ray Oscilloscopes (CRO) work and its internal construction. We will also learn how to use a CRO using the various controls and understand the graphical representations of the various input signals on the display screen of the scope. Importance of Cathode Ray Oscilloscopes (CRO) We know that majority […]
Inductor Working and Designing, with Formulas
In this post I have explained all the basics of inductors, its working principle, and how to design inductors with the help of formulas and calculations. Inductors are vastly used from mobile, laptop chargers to high-end communication equipment like mobile base stations to the satellites orbiting the earth. Let us take a deep dive into […]
Linear Hall-Effect Sensor – Working and Application Circuit
Linear Hall-effect ICs are magnetic sensor devices designed to respond to magnetic fields to produce a proportionate amount of electrical output. It thus becomes useful for measuring the strength of magnetic fields, and in applications that require an output switched through magnetic triggers. The modern hall effect ICs are designed with immunity to most mechanical […]
BJT Emitter-Follower – Working, Application Circuits
In this post I have explained how to use a transistor emitter follower configuration in practical electronic circuits, we study this through a few different example application circuits. An emitter follower is one of the standard transistor configurations which is also referred to as common collector transistor configuration. Let’s try to first understand what’s an […]
5kva Ferrite Core Inverter Circuit – Full Working Diagram with Calculation Details
In this post I have explained the construction of a 5000 watt inverter circuit which incorporates a ferrite core transformer and therefore is hugely compact than the conventional iron core counterparts. Block Diagram Please note you can convert this ferrite core inverter to any desired wattage, right from 100 watt to 5 kva or as […]
