Zener diode Voltage regulator calcutation

A Zener diode Voltage regulator calcutation is made using a simple circuit of a resistor /Rs) and a Zener diode (Z).

This two elements values and characteristics are obtained using special formulas

Logic probe circuit with CD4001 IC

This logic probe circuit is useful for people who needs an instrument to measure the logic levels on digital circuits. This circuit is implemented with CMOS IC technology and is recommended for testing circuits using the same technology

Temperature alarm circuit with 741 operational amplifier

This temperature alarm circuit with operational amplifier activates a relay when the temperature of the place to be controlled exceeds a set level. Useful for an oven temperature control or a cooling system

Car Battery Monitor Circuit

This Car battery monitor circuit is very simple and very interesting. How many times have you found that the car does not start because the battery is discharged?

555 IC Tester Circuit (PCB)

This 555 IC tester circuit, allows us to make sure that this integrated circuit works properly. This same test can be achieved by operating the 555 as astable multivibrator, but this test does not allow
to observe its operation in detail.

Car Battery Booster Circuit

This Car Battery Booster Circuit, is very useful when the car battery has low charge or does not deliver the expected current to operate the starter motor.

Over-temperature alarm using operational amplifier.

This over-temperature alarm circuit uses a common semiconductor diode as a temperature sensing element.

12 VDC to -12 VDC converter circuit with a 555 IC.

This 12 VDC to -12 VDC converter circuit gives -12VDC (negative 12 volts) from a power source of + 12VDC (positive 12 volts), with very few components.

Temperature gauge circuit using the LM324 IC

The temperature level is displayed using 4 LEDs:
A green LED indicates that the temperature is OK.
Two yellow LEDs indicate that the temperature is higher than normal.
A red LED indicates that the temperature is very high

12V to 9V DC Converter Circuit Diagram (PCB)

This 12V to 9V DC converter is very useful for powering 9V DC devices in a car that uses 12V DC battery. The maximum current consumption allowed by this circuit is 0.8 amps.

12V Auto turn-off battery charger

This 12V auto turn-off battery charger automatically disconnects from mains to stop charging when the batteries are fully charged. It serves to charge the battery of our car, using the 120/240 VAC

Transformerless Power Supply Circuit We will use a zener diode among other elements to acheive the Transformerless Power Supply circuit. This  means that our power supply will give a limited range current value (it will be a maximum and a minimum posible current that the power supply circuit can deliver). This power suply must be permanently connected to the circuit as a whole […]
