The articles explains a digital thermometer circuit project that works without a battery. Instead of a battery the circuit utilizes a small solar cell and operates by deriving power from the ambient light available from the surrounding light sources. This allows the circuit to be extremely compact, light weight, versatile and hassle free while measuring […]

Arduino 2-Step Programmable Timer Circuit
In this article I have explained how to make a simple 2-step Arduino programmable timer circuit, which can be used to switch an electrical load ON/OFF with independently adjustable ON and OFF timings. For example if you want a light to remain ON for 24 hours and OFF for 2 hours, you can simply do […]
Simple Digital Timer Circuit with 2 Digit Display
This simple digital timer circuit can be used to obtain timing output through selectable ranges, which can be set from 0 to 99 second, with 1 second interval, 0 to 990 seconds with 10 second interval, and 0 to 99 minutes with 1 minute interval. All these timing outputs can be visualized and tracked through […]
How to Design MOSFET Power Amplifier Circuits – Parameters Explained
In this post I have explained various parameters that must be considered while designing a MOSFET power amplifier circuit. We also analyze the difference between bipolar junction transistors (BJT) and MOSFET characteristics and understand why MOSFETS are more suitable and efficient for power amplifier applications. Contributed by Daniel Schultz Overview When designing a power amplifier […]
Op Amp Preamplifier Circuits – For MICs, Guitars, Pick-ups, Buffers
In this post I have explained a variety of op amp preamplifier circuits, and there should be an appropriate layout here for almost any standard audio preamplifier application. As the name suggests itself, a preamplifier is an audio circuit which is used before a power amplifier, or between a small signal source and a power […]
Laboratory Power Supply Circuit
Although a variety of laboratory power supplies have appeared in recent times, only handful of these will provide you with the efficiency, versatility, and low cost of the design detailed in this article. In this article I have explained a highly regulated, DIY, laboratory grade power supply with dual 0-50 volt. The voltage and current […]
