Our reader Andrea (andrea[dot]perugia[-at-]gmail[dot] com) sent his circuit to us, and he creates the circuit for educational intent. The main purpose is to show that you can toggle an output state electronically, although physically you use only a push button switch. Here is what he said about the cicuit : This simple [...]

Electrolysis process has been the primary cause of your water level detector probes, and you can avoid this by sensing the current by this probe using alternating current. In alternating current, the electrolysis process will be reversed for every alternating cycles, making the probe will last longer to survive from corrosion. The electronic circuit for [...]

This circuit is similar with our previous dimmer circuit, but the gate control is full-wave rectified using diode bridge. This circuit can be used to replace electric switch for your incandescent lamp, brushed motor, soldering iron or heater. Here is the schematic diagram of the dimmer switch: Please note that his dimmer switch [...]

This is a circuit of differential analog switch. This circuit uses the FM1208 monolithic dual. Here is the circuit: This circuit is ideal choice for an accurate multiplexer because RDS (on) for the monolithic dual tracks at better than ± 1% over wide temperature ranges (-25 to +125°) although it is unusual. [...]

As the price of security camera going down, installing the camera in the shop, office, or even in home becomes economically feasible. Providing a dedicated monitor for every installed camera is not efficient, and your CRT monitor might suffer phosphor burn if it used to display static image from only one camera. To display 1, [...]
