A Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) using 555 timer is an oscillator whose output frequency is directly dependent on the input control voltage. VCOs are widely used in communication systems, tone generators, frequency modulation (FM), and various signal processing applications. One of the simplest and most economical ways to build a VCO is by using the […]
A boost converter circuit is a DC-DC power converter that steps up voltage from its input to its output while stepping down current. It’s widely used in applications where a higher output voltage is required from a lower input voltage, such as in battery-operated devices. One of the simplest ways to design a boost converter […]
Let’s designing a PIR motion sensor circuit that uses a Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor to control a buzzer through a 555 timer for motion detection applications. Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating this circuit: Working Principle of PIR Motion Sensor: A Passive Infrared (PIR) motion sensor detects motion by sensing changes in infrared radiation. Here’s […]
This article describes a sensor-less BLDC motor driver circuit using 555 timer and DRV10866 motor driver IC, suitable for driving small 5V BLDC fans without position sensors. The rise in the use of brushless DC motors (BLDCs) is driven by their efficiency, durability, and precision. However, controlling these motors typically requires rotor position information to […]
Here we will see the LED flasher circuit diagram and how it works. Flashlights are used in vehicles to pass left-right signals. At many places where two people cannot talk this LED flasher can be useful. We can give signals by flashing lights of different colors. You are familiar with the Bike turn signals indicators. […]
Hey folks, have you used an ultrasonic sensor in your projects! Do you know how it works? In this project, we will use an ultrasonic sensor without Arduino for object detection. We will interface ultrasonic sensor with a 555 timer to control a DC motor. How ultrasonic sensors work? As the name suggests an ultrasonic […]
