Here is a simple circuit in which an LED will continue flashing as long as the voltage of the battery to be monitored is above the set level.The transistors Q1 and Q2 are wired as a complementary astable multivibrator.The circuit can operate from a voltage range from 6V to 12V. The voltage level at
Description. Here is very simple circuit in which the LED becomes ON only after a preset time the power supply is switched ON. When the power supply is switched on the transistor will be OFF. The capacitor now charges via the preset R3 and when the voltage across C1 is sufficient, the transistor switches ON
Description. This is a simple and low cost wide band VHF field strength meter. The field strength is measured by converting the radio signal to DC and measuring it. The RF signal will be picked up by the coil and rectified by the diode D1.Even a very small DC voltage is sufficient to alter the

Description. This a very simple and inexpensive circuit that can be used to test quartz crystals.Here a Colpitts oscillator is wired used the transistor T1.When the crystal is connected between terminals A and B the circuit will produce high frequency oscillation.The oscillations will be generated only if the crystal is a good one.The diode OA91
Description. For circuits using TTL ICs the supply voltage is a great concern and a slight increase in supply from the rated 5V may damage the IC. Using fuses alone does not solve the problem because a fuse may take several milliseconds to blow off and that’s enough time for the IC to get damaged.
