Input Trigger Synchronized Monostable Timer Using IC 555
Here we study a simple IC 555 based monostable circuit whose output monostable time duration starts only after the input trigger is released thus making sure that the trigger ON time duration is added with the monostable’s pre-programmed ON time duration. The idea was requested by Mr. John Brogan Technical Specifications I would like to […]
SMPS 2 x 50V 350W Circuit for Audio Power Amplifiers
This article will illustrate a simple procedure to devise an unregulated 50V switching SMPS symmetric power supply of 350W. This unit can be substituted with the standard audio amplifier power supply to reduce expense and also the weight. The proposed power supply works as a half-bridge with no regulation. Written and Submitted by: Dhrubajyoti Biswas […]
DIY Taser Gun Circuit – Stun Gun Circuit
A Taser circuit also known as Stun Gun circuit is one non-lethal electric shock producing unit used to paralyze a person for a time being without causing any severe damage or injury. It is a very useful device, especially to immobilize an attacker. Using and making of stun gun is restricted in most of the […]
LM317 IC Tester Circuit – Sort Out Good ICs from Faulty Ones
Here is simple but handy testing circuit for LM317 adjustable voltage regulator IC. I am sure it can be used to test other similar ICs like LM117, LM158, LM358 etc. The circuit is pretty straightforward. The circuit is based on normal configuration of adjustable voltage regulator. How it Works For details follow https://www.homemade-circuits.com/2011/12/how-to-build-simplest-variable-power.html A DPDT […]
Digital Clock Activated Water Level Controller Circuit
An automatic clock time triggered water level controller circuit which responds to a real time clock input is discussed in the following article. The design also includes a water detection stage which makes sure the initialization takes place only in the presence of water in the tank or the pipe. The idea was requested by […]
