Frequency Divider Circuit using 555 Timer and CD4017 Frequency Dividers are the circuits which divide the input frequency by n (any integer number), means if we provide some signal of frequency ‘f’ then the output will be the divided frequency ‘f/n’. Frequency dividers are very useful in analog as well as digital applications. Here we are building the circuit to divide the frequency by 2 or 4. In this… |

Magnetic Door Alarm Circuit using Hall Sensor Door alarm is a very common and useful device for security purpose. They are used to detect whether the Door is open or closed. Often we have seen some door alarm in the refrigerator that produced a different sound when they activate. Door Alarm Projects are very popular among the Electronics students and hobbyists. We have also built many alarms based on various… |

Fridge Door Alarm Circuit using 555 and LDR The name of the circuit itself infers the application. This circuit triggers the alarm if the door of Fridge is left open for the long time. When the door of the refrigerator is left open, the temperature inside the cabin will increase. This rise in temperature will be sensed by thermostat and try to cool down the cabin. It will always try to maintain constant temperature of… |
