Simple Toggle Touch Switch Using Two Inverter Gates

circuit schematic

We  can make a simple touch switch using only two inverter gates, two resistors, and two capacitors. The schematic diagram of the circuit is shown in the figure below. At power up, the output (of U1A) will be high, and the inverting output will be low because U1A gate will be triggered to ground level [...]

Very Simple Touch Switch Using 4050 CMOS Buffer

circuit schematic

Many efforts has been made to make simpler circuit, and here is one result, a very simple touch switch.  You can build up to 6 similar circuit using only one 4050 chip. If you touch the “on” pad, the output will be on on remains on until you or some one the “off” pad. Here [...]

Simple Touch Switch Using 555 IC

circuit schematic

This 555 circuit will activate a buzzer and turn on a LED lamp when you touch the probe. Here is the circuit’s schematic diagram: lf you touch the plates, the lamp and the buzzer will be activated for a predetermined time period. The time period is determined by 100k resistor and the 10uF [...]

Alternating Relay Switch

circuit schematic

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 [...]

Dimmer Switch

circuit schematic

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 [...]

Differential Analog Switch

circuit schematic

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. [...]
