The TSV7722 Op-Amp comes endowed with features like maximum…
A MOSFET is a type of transistor that uses an electric field to control current flow, and is widely used in switching and amplification circuits. MOSFET stands for Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor, which has a gate. For simplicity, you can imagine this gate like a water tap. You rotate the tap counter-clockwise the water starts flowing out of the tap.…

If you are exploring the world of electronics, and you want to know more about the Transistors and MOSFETs for your upcoming brilliant project, you are at the right place. In this article, we will discuss the basics of BJTs, Transistors, and MOSFETs. Before semiconductors (particularly transistors), the only devices available for signal amplification and switching were…
If you are an electronics hobbyist then you must have heard about the 555 timer IC and its 3 popular circuits viz. astable multivibrator, bistable multivibrator, and monostable multivibrator. Apart from these, there are other popular circuits like 555 timer IC as a switch and police hooter that we have talked about previously. Adding to the list,…
Upon hearing a siren of a nearby police vehicle, one might think about how this tone is being generated. You’ll be surprised to know that the brains behind these tones are not a microcontroller but a humble NE555 timer IC. If you know a little about electronics then you must have heard of 555-timer IC and its 3 very popular circuits the astable multivibrator, the…
If you are a hobbyist or have keen interest in electronics circuits, you must be familiar with 555 timer IC and its three popular circuits - Monostable multivibrator, Astable multivibrator, and Bistable multivibrator. Guess what, we can even use this IC as a switch. This is the type of button that holds its state i.e. on the first press, it switches…
Motion sensor circuits are there on the Internet for quite a while now. These circuits are mainly used to drive AC load (like lights, fans) in home automation or IoT projects. It is also very common in manufacturing industries, like on conveyor belts where the presence/position of a particular object has to be detected.
So, in this tutorial, we are…
The multivibrator circuit is very popular and useful in the field of electronics, and it’s the most basic circuit that you will know about while learning basic electronics. The multivibrator circuit can be divided into two categories: the first one is known as the monostable multivibrator, and the second one is known as the astable multivibrator. But in this project, we will…
A zero-crossing detector circuit is a useful application of an op-amp as a comparator. This electronic circuit precisely identifies when an AC waveform transitions through zero voltage, tracking the changes in the sine waveform from positive to negative or vice versa while it crosses zero voltage. It can also be used as a square wave generator. They have many…
Almost all types of sensors and transducers convert real world parameters like light, temperature, weight etc into voltage values for our electronic systems to understand it. The variation in this voltage level will help us in analyzing/measuring the real world parameters, but in some applications like biomedical sensors this variation is very small (low-level signals) and…
