Simple Transistor Tester Using 555 IC

circuit schematic

Testing whether a transistor is shorted or open usually done by ohm meter. You test if the base to emitter  or collector permit a current flow in one direction. Here is the circuit’s schematic diagram: The 555 timer ( IC1 ) operate as a 12hz  oscillator. The output of this oscillator (pin 3) [...]

AC Powered-LED Circuit

circuit schematic

The high durability nature of a light emitting diode (LED) make it suitable for ON/OFF indicator application. Because the limitation on low operating voltage, LEDs are normally applied on low voltage application.  Fortunately, there is a simple method to apply LED indicator for high powerline voltage: reactance of a capacitor can be used to limit [...]
