This is circuit of soft light dimmer. This circuit uses the IGBT STGP10N50A and the TS555 timer as main components. Here is the circuit: The timer is triggered on the zero crossing voltage pulse. The time constant determined by C5/R14+R15 that is used to determine the conduction angle. The T2 – T3 inhibits [...]

This is a circuit that transmits temperature data over an IR link and it allows the isolation of temperature sensor. It is a good solution of obtaining temperature readings from points at potentials a few tens of volts from ground by linking a temperature probe only by an IR connection to the readout point. This [...]

Introduction Interfacing humidity sensor can be difficult because of the sensor’s drive requirement and their wide dynamic range. We can customize the circuit to obtain reasonable accuracy within the chosen range by carefully selecting the devices that comprise the analog front end. Here we present a case study to design analog signal conditioner for [...]

In some temperature-sensing applications there are some problems caused by the placement of sensors on location where the potential is very different from that of the data-acquisition-system common. So the operating temperature sensor must be isolated from its data-acquisition system galvanically. And the power’s source for the sensor was isolated. This circuit is designed to [...]

You can use a humidity sensor to give an alert of boat leakage, or when your books start being flooded by heavy rain attack on your broken roof, or anything you can imagine. A simple humidity sensor (a humidity probe) can be constructed using two copper wires placed as close as possible to each other, [...]

You can use this circuit to give auto trigger for your secondary flash light. You don’t have to worry about wiring for the control, because using this circuit your secondary flash will be automati8cally triggered when it receive the light signal from the primary flash. Look at the circuit’s schematic diagram below. The [...]
