Low-Cost and Simple Intercom

This is a low-cost and simple intercom circuit design. Some intercom circuits is build by applying integrated circuits. The circuit described right here utilizes 3 certainly transistors which easy to find on the electronic store. Even a newbie can assemble it on a piece of veroboard without difficulty. The circuit consists of a 3-stage resistor-capacitor… Read More »

Automatic Switching-on Emergency Light

Automatic Switching-on Emergency Light The schematic diagram shown right here is the automatic switching-on emergency light circuit which is controlled using IC. The most important capabilities of this circuit are: automatic switching-on of the light on main power failure and battery charger with overcharge protection. When mains electrical power is absent, relay RL2 is in… Read More »

DC Motor Speed Controller

This is the schematic diagram of DC motor speed controller circuit. The circuit applies two oscillators/timers which are connected as a Pulse Width Modulator (PWM). The timer chip which applied in this circuit will be an nmos dual timer/oscillator NE556. This timer IC has two 555 timers in a single 14-pin IC package.

Pyroelectric Fire Alarm System

This is definitely an ultra-sensitive fire sensor that exploits the direct piezoelectric property of an ordinary piezo component to recognize the fire. The lead zirconate titanate crystals within the piezo component have the property to deform and produce an electrical potential when heated, thus converting the piezo component into a heat sensor. The circuit mentioned… Read More »

Car Cigar Lighter to USB Power Socket

Here is the schematic design of car cigar lighter to USB power port. Nowadays, almost all computer systems have logic blocks for working with a USB port. In practice, a USB port is capable of supplying more than 100 mA of continuous electric current at 5V to the peripherals which are hooked up with the… Read More »

6 Transistor Tilden’s H-Bridge

This diagram is certainly the 6 transistor Tilden H-bridge circuit; while not as old as the original “basic H-bridge,” this goes “way back,” and will be the basis for a lot of BEAM driver circuits. Bruce Robinson explaination about this circuit: I did a few revised drawings for Ian quite a while back, so he… Read More »
