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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Active power factor correction stabilize the electrical demand of a device to give the best power factor characteristic of many types of loads.  To meet power factor regulation, a low cost solution should be designed. In many application, the need of high DC voltage is usually implemented by a direct rectification of the AC line [...]

You might be familiar with passive crossover network installed inside your speaker box, consist of inductors and capacitors. The problem with passive crossover network is that they dissipate the audio power, so it’s not environmentally friendly, contributing a little disaster of global warming.  Moreover, the capacitor and the inductor in the passive crossover network contribute [...]
