In today’s world, both households and industrial facilities are exploring ways to improve power reliability by harnessing multiple energy sources, not just the electricity from the grid. One clever solution: Automatic transfer switch (ATS). ...
Conventional astable oscillator circuits that use CMOS logic gates, bipolar transistors or low current op Amps, often require more current than necessary. The circuit shown generates a low frequency square wave signal while drawing only 0.5 ...
Design Idea (DI) contributors have recently explored various possibilities for ON/OFF power control using just a momentary contact “shiny modern push-button,” many of which build off of Nick Cornford’s “To press on or hold ...
Several Design Ideas (DIs) have employed the subject ICs to implement programmable current sources in an innovative manner ( References 1-3 ). Figure 1 shows the idea. Figure 1. Two independent current sources, one for loads referenced to the more ...
To generate high voltages with proper insulation between the “hot node” and the rest of the circuitry, a car ignition coil can function in place of a high-voltage transformer. These coils have voltage ratings of approximately 20 kV, so ...

We recently saw how certain audio power amplifiers can be used as oscillators ( Ref. 1 ). This Design Idea shows how those same parts can be used for simple amplitude modulation, which is trickier than it might seem. The relevant device is the ...
