In this post I have explained how to build 6 useful voltage controlled oscillator circuits, using various op amps and integrated circuits. As the name suggests, a voltage controlled oscillator or a VCO circuit is an oscillator circuit whose output frequency can be controlled or varied through an adjustable control voltage input. This means, if […]

Simple Anti-Theft Alarm Circuit to Protect Valuable Items
This easy yet useful security alarm circuit is designed to get triggered in response to even a brief movement of the unit, causing a loud alarm sound to set off. The circuit could be attached or installed on any desired gadget or asset which needs to be protected from theft. As soon as the gadget […]
3-Digit LED Capacitance Meter Circuit
This project is yet another test equipment that can be extremely handy to any electronic hobbyist, and building this unit can be a lot of fun. A capacitance meter is a very useful test equipment as it allows the user to check a desired capacitor and confirm its relaibility. Ordinary or standard digital meters mostly […]
Simple FET Circuits and Projects
The Field-Effect Transistor or the FET is a 3 terminal semiconductor device which is used for switching high power DC loads through negligible power inputs. The FET comes with some unique features such as a high input impedance (in the megohms) and with almost zero loading on a signal source or the attached preceding stage. […]
Class-D Sinewave Inverter Circuit
A sinewave inverter using class-D amplifier functions by converting a small sinewave input frequency into equivalent sine PWMs, which is finally processed by an H-bridge BJT driver for generating the mains sinewave AC output from a DC battery source. What is Class-D Amplifier The working principle of a class-D amplifier is actually simple yet extremely […]
Simple Online UPS Circuit
In this post I have explained about the making of a simple online uninterruptible power supply (UPS) which guarantees a seamless transfer of AC mains supply to inverter mains supply for the load, due to the absence of cumbersome transfer switches or relays. What is an Online UPS As the name suggests, an online UPS […]
