In this post I have explained the construction details of a triac based push-button dimmer circuit which can be used for controlling incandescent, and fluorescent lamp brightness through push-button pressing. Another feature of this dimmer is its memory, which retains the brightness level even during power outages, and provides the same lamp intensity after power […]

Prevent Relay Arcing using RC Snubber Circuits
In this article I have explained the formula and techniques of configuring RC circuit networks for controlling the arcing across relay contacts while switching heavy inductive loads. Arc suppression An arc is produced across the contacts when a switch or a relay is opened. With time, this condition can wear down the contacts. To overcome […]
Precision Current Sensing and Monitoring Circuit using IC NCS21xR
If you are looking for current shunt monitors or current sense amplifiers then you have landed at the right page. Current shunt monitor is an instrumentation amplifier which senses the current across a shunt resistor in a system, and converts it into a logical signal output for triggering a switching device such a relay, transistor […]
Make this Bass Booster Speaker Box
In this article I have explained the construction of the high bass boost speaker box system, which can be used for reproducing music with heavy bass effect, which can be adjusted with a potentiometer. By: Alfy Mackenzie Most of the affordable hi-fi systems in the market have decent mid-range and treble feedback but do not […]
Guitar Amplifier Circuit with Fuzz Effect Genertaor
The first schematic describes a 100 watt Guitar amplifier circuit which can be used mainly for amplifying guitar sound and also a public address systems. The next schematic in this article explains yet another guitar amplifier enhanced with fuzz effect generator and treble booster circuits. To test its ruggedness, the unit is designed without any […]
Match Transistor Pairs Quickly using this Circuit
In many critical circuit applications, like power amplifiers, inverters, etc it becomes necessary to use matched transistor pairs having identical hFE gain. Not doing this possibly creates unpredictable output results, such as one transistor getting hotter than the other, or asymmetrical output conditions. By: David Corbill To eliminate this, matching transistor pairs with their Vbe […]
