This resource provides clear explanations of how switching regulators work and how voltage boosting is achieved efficiently ...
A very simple but highly efficient combination lock circuit is shown in the figure. Any type of on/off switches can be used, varying from commercially available inexpensive types to more sophisticated ...
A previous Design Idea describes a circuit that uses an astable multivibrator to drive an LED (Reference 1). The circuit in Figure 1 uses a simpler alternative approach. The circuit uses a 2N3904 NPN ...
Over the recent weeks here at Hackaday, we’ve been taking a look at the humble transistor. In a series whose impetus came from a friend musing upon his students arriving with highly developed ...
Photocouplers optically links, via transparent isolating material, a light emitter and a photodetector. Used as an interface between circuits with different ground potentials, photocouplers replace ...
