A single 1.5 V silver oxide button cell powers this complete touch activated switch circuit for 5 years. It features both a normally open and a normally closed set of solid state switch thermals. It also has an adjustable sensitivity, which can be ...
This project is a simple, low-voltage push-pull PWM controller using the TI LM5032 chip and two MOSFETs. It's suitable for applications like DC-DC converters or Tesla coil drivers. Frequency, current sensing, and soft start are configured via ...
Courtesy of this circuit’s flexibliity, you can select and adjust both, one, or none of the channels of a dual digipot. One huge advantage that digital potentiometers have over electromechanicals is, of course, the inherent flexibility the ...
The core element of any electronic device is the power supply. Any instability or malfunction of the power supply causes the device to malfunction or demonstrate weird behavior. In some sensitive applications, we need a dual voltage-rail power ...
Replace your old 78xx voltage regulators with this much more efficient pin-compatible buck converter. Efficiency test. 7805 replacement. Input: 12 V. Max power: 11627 mW. Max efficiency: 93.2%. Efficiency test. 7805 original (L78S05CV). Input: 12 ...
It is often difficult to design an effective thermal-management scheme that minimizes the risk of meltdown or fire. System orientation, placement, or both complicate matters by generating hot spots at varying locations on a PCB (printed-circuit ...
An inexpensive piezoelectric wafer is used to detect vibration and when the vibration is sufficient a switch is activated. Materials on the topic Datasheet Texas Instruments CD4069UB discovercircuits.com
An ultrasonic range finder is a useful tool in a variety of real-life and robotic applications, such as in obstacle avoidance and distance measurement systems. The ultrasonic range finder measures the distance by emitting a 40 kHz pulse of ...
It’s a challenge to interface a resistive bridge sensor with an ADC receiving its power from a 5 V single-supply power source. Some applications require output-voltage swings from 0 V to a full-scale voltage, such as 4.096 V, with excellent ...
Simple circuit saves hard-working fingers from unnecessary wear and tear. Digital potentiometers (DPOTs) with manual up/down increment/decrement interfaces can have real utility as versatile substitutes for traditional electromechanical pots. But ...
