In this post I have explained the fundamental tips and theories which may be useful for the newcomers while designing or dealing with basic inverter concepts. I have explained more. What’s an Inverter It’s a device which converts or inverts a low voltage, high DC potential into a low current high alternating voltage such as […]

12V DC to 220V DC Boost Converter Circuit
In this article I have explained a very simple method of acquiring 220V DC from a 12V DC source. The idea utilizes inductor/oscillator based boost topology with the help of the IC 555. Circuit Operation Referring to the circuit diagram below, we see that the entire idea is based upon the versatile, evergreen IC 555. […]
LM567 Tone Decoder IC Features, Datasheet and Applications
In this post I have explained the main specifications, datasheet and working principle of the IC LM567, which is a precise phase-locked loop with synchronous AM lock detection and power output device. In simpler terms the IC LM567 IC is a tone decoder chip which is designed basically for recognizing a specified frequency band, and […]
High Current Voltage Doubler Circuit
In this post I have explained a voltage high current doubler circuit which will almost double the voltage that’s been applied at the input (up to 15V max), and also it becomes specifically useful since it allows higher current loads to be used at the output, in the order 10 amps. Since the voltage doubler […]
5 Simple Alarm Circuits for Protecting your Home/Office from Theft
The following article discusses a few very simple intrusion detector circuits, or ant-theft alarms. The presented designs are easy to build yet extremely effective with the functions. How the Circuits Works An intruder alarm basically consists of a sensor and a trigger stages, which work together to produce the required detection. The sensor detects the presence […]
How to Connect a Relay through an Opto-Coupler
In the following post I have explained how to drive a relay by using an isolated method, or through an optocoupler device. We will learn three methods, first method is by connecting relay directly with the optocoupler output pins, second method is by using external PNP transistors, and third method is by using external NPN […]
