The IC LM 339 is primarily created to compare two input voltages and generate a corresponding output. Having said that, before we try to learn regarding the various LM339 based circuits, it would be important to go through the standard features of the LM339. It is basically a quad comparator IC, meaning we can find […]

7 Interesting IC 555 Siren and Alarm Circuits
In this post I have explained how to use IC 555 to create 7 interesting siren and alarm sound effect generator circuits. The versatile astable multivbrator configuration of IC 555 allows us to implement it for making various types of sirens and alarm circuits. This becomes possible because an astable is basically a waveform generator, […]
6 Simple AC Bridge Circuits Explained
An AC bridge is a circuit which can be used for measuring parameters like capacitance, resistance, Inductance using differential method, by comparing them with known values of similar components, positioned diagonally across a bridge circuit, and through an analogue meter placed at the center of the bridge. Before we begin talking about the AC bridge […]
12 V to 19 V Boost Converter Circuit
In this post I have explained how to build a simple 12 V to 19 V boost converter circuit which can used to charge a 19 V battery from a 12 V car battery. The main application of this circuit could be for the charging of a laptop battery from a car battery, How the […]
High Stability of Crystals in Oscillator Circuits
The stability of good quality RC oscillators can be expected to be around 0.1%, while normally we can assume the stability of LC oscillators to be up to 0.01%. When a much higher level of stability is required, we have to use a crystal based oscillator circuit. The main reason why crystals are so important […]
1.5V, 3V, 6V Inverter Circuit Diagram
In this post I have explained a few miniature inverter circuits that can convert 1.5 V to 220 V or 3 V to 220 V or 6 V to 220 V. All the designs employ a single PNP transistor and transformer, connected in the feedback mode for generating the oscillations. 1.5 V to 220 V […]
