This battery charge monitor shows, with colored LEDs, the charging process of a typical 12-volt car battery using the LM3914 Dot / Bar Display Driver.
Audible Continuity Tester
This continuity tester with buzzer works on live circuits. Very important, as common continuity testers are used with the power source disconnected.
Power Supply – Block Diagram (AC – DC conversion process)
Many electronic circuits need a direct current (DC) voltage source, but what we commonly find are voltage sources of alternating current (AC). In order to achieve a direct current voltage source, the alternating current input must follow a conversion process.
