There are many cases where it is desirable to actively regulate the operating temperature of an electronic assembly. Sometimes, it is imperative to dissipate the heat generated by the components (this is the case for the majority of microprocessors in our modern PCs). On the contrary, it is necessary to artificially increase the operating temperature […]

Windshield Washer Fluid Indicator Circuit
In this article I have explained a permanent indicator of the windshield washer fluid level. Knowing that electronics do not mix well with liquids, instead of using a float gauge system, we have devised a completely different operating principle for you. The operation of our circuit is based on timing the duration of the motor’s […]
BT169 SCR Datasheet [200 V, 0.5 A SCR]
The BT169 is a thyristor or SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) that is commonly used for switching applications in low-power electronic circuits. It can be used for small signal, low current applications. Its size is very small just like a BJT. Here are the full technical specifications of the BT169: Electrical Specifications Pinout: The BT169 SCR […]
Diodes: Working, How to Use, Applications
It’s John Ambrose Fleming (1849-1945), a British engineer, who invented the first diode in 1904, in the form of an electron tube. Later, with the development of semiconductor technology, the diode became a dipole consisting of two substrates: one, rich in free electrons, and of type N, the other deficient in electrons, and of type […]
IC 7805 Switching Regulator Circuit
Starting from a classical linear regulation, we will present the evolution towards a simple switching version. This will allow us to analyze the operation without going through the classical theoretical developments. In other words, a “practical” view of things. You can use the proposed design to significantly increase the backup time and efficiency of a […]
