Building a Simple Current Detector Circuit with 555 Timer and few Passive Components Working with electricity can be a daunting and life-threatening task if you are a beginner in the electronic/electrical field, and things can go very wrong when electricity is not properly handled, which is why safety must come first in order to avoid injury, before starting work on an electric box and AC mains one need to verify that there is no AC leakage voltage.… |

Design a Voltage Controlled Current Source Circuit using Op-Amp In a voltage-controlled current source circuit, as the name implies, a small amount of voltage across the input will proportionally control the current flow across the output loads. This current source circuit using an op amp is commonly used in electronics to drive current-controlled devices like BJT, SCR, etc. We know that in a BJT, the current flowing through the base of… |

Simple Constant Current Generator using Transistor Many of us who have worked with Analog circuits would have often come across the terms voltage source and current source in a circuit design. While anything that provides a constant voltage like a simple 5V USB output or a 12V adapter can be considered as a voltage source, the term current source always seems to remain a mystery. And many circuits, especially the one… |

Current Mirror Circuit: Wilson and Widlar Current Mirroring Techniques In the previous article, we discussed about Current Mirror Circuit and how it can be built using a Transistor and a MOSFET. Even though a basic current mirror circuit can be constructed using two simple active components, BJTs and MOSFETs or using an amplifier circuit, the output is not perfect, as well as it has certain limitations and dependencies on the external factors.… |

Lead Acid Battery: Working, Construction and Charging/Discharging Almost every portable and handheld device consists of a battery. The battery is a storage device where energy is stored to provide power whenever needed. There are different types of batteries available in this modern electronics world, among them Lead Acid battery is commonly used for high power supply. Usually Lead Acid batteries are bigger in size with hard and heavy… |
