Although, most of the car electronics have evolved into solid-sate versions, a turn indicator flasher unit is one device which still depend on a relay based design in many of the modern cars. Disadvantages of Relay Based Flasher There are a couple major disadvantages of a relay based electromechanical flasher unit: 1) First, these being […]

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 […]
12 V to 30 V High Current Boost Converter Circuit [Variable]
In this post I have explained how to make a high current boost converter circuit which will step up a 12 V DC to any higher level up to 30 V maximum, and at an impressive 3 amp current rate. This high current output can be further enhanced by suitably upgrading the inductor wire gauge […]
Grid Dip Meter Circuit
A dip meter or a grid dip meter can be considered as a kind of frequency meter whose function is to determine the resonant frequency of an LC circuit. For this, the circuits don’t have to ‘radiate’ any waves or frequency across each other. Instead, the procedure is implemented simply by placing the coil of […]
Automotive LED Driver Circuits – Design Analysis
In cars or automobiles, LEDs have grown to be the preferred choice of lighting. Whether it’s the rear tail-lights or the tell-tale indicators in the cluster as indicated in Figure 1 below, all incorporate LEDs nowadays. Their compact dimensions helps versatility in design and offers the prospective to be as durable as the vehicle’s life […]
Remote Control using Mains Power Line Communication
The proposed circuit will allow you to remotely control a mains AC operated appliance across rooms of your home through mains power line communication or PLC concept. In PLC technology, an electronic circuit which works as a transmitter is plugged-in to the mains wiring (220 V or 120 V) injects a modulating high frequency data […]
