Simple LDR Light Alarm

This is a light alarm circuit. This circuit uses Light dependent resistor (LDR). When there is no light fall on the LDR, the transistor driving the speaker is not turned on, because its resistance is high. When the LDR receives light, its resistance decreases and the collector of the second transistor falls. The first transistor …[Read More]
Electric Field Detector with 6 Million Gain Transistor

This is a circuit that can produce 6 million gain. As well as detecting general electric noise, this circuit can be used to detect “mains hum,” the presence of your hand without any direct contact, and detect static electricity. Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: The mains cable can be located by this …[Read More]

Three separated LEDs is used on this battery monitor circuit. For red LED, it’s turn on from 6v to below 11v and turns off above 11v. For the orange LED, its illuminate between 11v and 13v and turns off above 13v. The green LED illuminates above 13v. This battery indication is suitable for monitoring your …[Read More]
Clap Triggered Switch

This is circuit of Clap Triggered Switch. When the circuit detects tap, or short whistle or a clap, this circuit will toggle the LEDs. 33k and 5K6 charge The second 10u. The negative excursion of the waveform takes the positive end of the 10u towards the 0v rail, when a sound is detected. the two …[Read More]
PID Controller Using Op-Amp

Generally, specifically combined ICs perform a control task. We can carry out simple controls using analog ICs, such as operational amplifier circuitry. The basic component of “Control Electronics” is an integrated circuit (IC). IC is a small electronic device made out of a semiconductor material. According to equation 1, this analog circuit calculates PID …
Motor-Speed Control Employs Class-D Power Amplifier

A dual benefit for battery-powered portable devices is provided by Class D audio amplifier. The produce much less power dissipation than do their linear cousins and they enhance battery life. Those features make this device an ideal candidate for controlling speed and direction in small electric motors. The standard application circuit for a class …
Analog PID Controller

The circuit diagram below shows us about a form of PID controller. The input signal is buffered and amplified by a non-inverting amplifier and the gain of this stage defines the proportional gain P of the controller.The amplified error signal passes in parallel through an integrator (top) a unity-gain amplifier (middle) and a differentiator …
