555-IC Timed Beeper/Alarm

This is a simple circuit of beeper using 555 timer. This circuit can be employed to energize lights, horn, or other signaling device at any desired interval when the mercury switch is triggered. Since the current handling capability of mercury switch is not so high, an SCR is used to handle current drawn by the 555 timer circuit. Chose the […]

Voltage and Current Limited Audible Continuity Tester

Using this continuity tester circuit, a failure of  PCB tracks be examined without looking directly at the tracks routing, which is can be very frustrating. The indication of this circuit is done by an audible alarm (a buzzer). This circuit can  be used to indicate continuity below any resistance value up to 35 ohms by adjusting the circuit. To make […]

Transceiver Saver (Overvoltage Protector)

This is a transceiver saver circuit that protect  a transceiver device (applicable to other device as well)  from overvoltage of the power supply. This circuit is used to protect the device  by regulating the power supply,  avoiding damaging the device if overvoltage occurs.  If the transceiver transmits current of above 2A, a heatsink should be used for the transistor. The […]

Long Period SCR Timer

This is a SCR timer circuit. Here, SCR is used to drive the final actuator, the buzzer.  The time constanst of this circuit is determined by  R1 and C1. The buzzer will sound when C1 charges up to a desired level, it will cause the Q1 to conduct and triggers SCR1.  The use of FET for Q1 make the RC […]

LF356 4-Ranges Ac Millivoltmeter

This is a 4-range AC millivolt meter circuit. This circuit is used to measure a AC voltage in millivolt range. This circuit has frequency response of a few Hz to about 50 kHz. The non-linearity of the rectifier circuit is eliminated by placing the rectifier inside the op amp feedback path. This circuit read the input signal’s full-wave rectified average. […]
