The 220 V mains AC line filter circuit described here has two functions: it prevents high-frequency waves from being sent back into the power network and it protects connected equipment from power line disturbances and surges. This circuit employs a number of components, such as capacitors, resistors, inductors, and a varistor, which are deliberately positioned […]

Electronic Measuring Tape Circuit using Ultrasound
Everyone is familiar with the mechanical measuring tape made of wood to measure human height. We offer you an original electronic version that operates based on the use of ultrasound. The circuit can be also used to measure distances between two surfaces or walls. Basic Working Ultrasounds are part of the range of sounds that […]
24V to 12V DC Converter Circuit [using Switching Regulator]
The DC to DC converter circuit described below can be used to convert a 24 V DC source into a 12 V DC output with high efficiency. Meaning, the circuit will allow to acquire a 12 V DC from a 24 V DC source with negligible power loss. Being a switching regulator, this circuit is […]
Atmospheric Pressure Indicator Circuit [LED Barometer Circuit]
With temperature, if there is one characteristic physical quantity of the past or future weather, it is certainly atmospheric pressure. The variations of this quantity are particularly interesting for weather forecasting: a decrease in pressure invariably heralds the arrival of rain, while a significant increase is a certain sign of improvement or persistent good weather. […]
Analyzing Class B and Class AB Amplifier Models
Both the majority of class B or AB power amplifiers currently encountered in HI-Fi amplifiers are presented in the form of integrated circuits specifically designed for this purpose. It is interesting for technicians to know how this type of amplifier works, if only out of intellectual curiosity. The provided model allows the study of several […]
Convert any Existing AC Lamp into Timer Controlled Lamp
The proposed push button timer circuit module can be directly integrated with any existing switch contacts of a lamp and enable the lamp to be converted into a timer controlled lamp. A common problem arises whenever one wants to replace a mains AC lamp controlled by a switch with a timer or a time switch. […]
