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 […]
Reed Switch – Working, Application Circuits
In this post I will comprehensively explain about reed switch functioning, and how to make simple reed switch circuits. What is Reed Switch Reed switch also called reed relay, is a low current magnetic switch with a concealed pair of contacts that close and open in response to magnetic field near it. The contacts are […]
Digital Buffer – Working, Definition, Truth Table, Double Inversion, Fan-out
A buffer stage basically a reinforced intermediate stage which allows the input current to reach the output without getting affected by the output loading. In this post I will try to explain what digital buffers are, and we will be taking a look at its definition, symbol, truth table, double inversion using logic “NOT” gate, […]
MQ-135 Air Quality Sensor Circuit – Working and Interfacing with Program Code
In this article I have explained how to interface air quality sensor MQ-135 with Arduino. We will see overview of the sensor and construct a project which detects LPG gas leakage and see some relevant readings in serial monitor. What is MQ-135 sensor? MQ-135 is an air quality or air pollution measuring sensor device. It […]
USB Isolator Diagram and Working
The following email discussions were sent to me by Mr John Sweden who is one of the avid readers of this blog, here he explains about an USB isolator device, and how it may be incorporated while using an oscilloscope with a PC, in order to safeguard the oscilloscope and the test circuit from accidental […]
