The 4093 is a 14-pin package containing four positive-logic, 2-input NAND Schmitt trigger gates as shown in the following figure. It is possible to operate the four NAND gates separately or collectively. The individual logic gates of the IC 4093 works in the following manner. As you can see each gate has two inputs (A […]

Basic Op Amp Circuits and Projects
In the following article I have explained op amp basic application circuits and projects, with equations, for solving their specific component values. Op-amps (operational amplifiers) are a specialized type of integrated circuit that include a directly-coupled, high-gain amplifier with an overall response characteristics adjusted by a feedback. The op-amp derives its name from the fact […]

In this article I have explained how to build small electronic circuit projects suitable for beginners, young hobbyists, school students, who are new to electronics and are at the initial learning stage. Which Circuit Projects are Suitable for the Beginners? Warning: In this article there are a few circuits which are not isolated from AC […]
Transistor Monostable Circuits with Applications
In this post I have explained how to build a few simple monostable circuits using only transistors, and also learn how to make practical application circuits with them. If you search for transistor monostable circuit online, you will find that one typical circuit has been discussed in all the online articles. This circuit looks a […]
Visitor Counter Circuit Using IC 555 and IC 4026
A visitor counter is a machine that counts the of number people who visited a place. Visitor counters are usually installed at the entrance and exit points of commercial buildings such as shopping malls, theme parks, museums, Airports, schools, departmental shops and other business etc. The registered counts on the machine are used for business […]
Simple Diode Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained how to use rectifier diodes for building some practical and useful electronic circuits. A diode is the most basic semiconductor electronic component, which is built with a single pn semiconductor junction. It has only two terminals, which are referred to as the anode and the cathode. Diodes can be […]
