This simple Mock Flasher LED simulates the indicator of a sophisticated Alarm system. It can be placed in doors, gates and vehicles to confuse intruders. The circuit is too simple using a Unijunction ...

[Paulo] just tipped us about an Excel based high frequency transistor amplifier calculator he made. We’re guessing that some of our readers already are familiar with these class A amplifiers, commonly ...

Two of the most often used amplifier building blocks in audio amplifier design are the common emitter amplifier with emitter degeneration and the emitter follower using the same circuit biasing. The ...

Light-emitting diodes are often used with a voltage source from a power-supply output voltage. The output voltage increases until the current through the LEDs reaches the value of the constant-current ...

This circuit is designed to drive the 1W LEDs that are now commonly available. Their non-linear voltage to current relationship and variation in forward voltage with temperature necessitates the use ...

A family court judge must face a lawsuit for leading a warrantless search of a litigant's home in a divorce dispute, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ruled Monday. West Virginia judge ...

Larson Electronics released a powerful and extremely durable compact LED emitter designed to produce light output in the 850nm to 940nm range. Measuring only 2 inches wide and 2 inches high, the LEDLB ...

Last time on Circuit VR, we looked at creating a very simple common emitter amplifier, but we didn’t talk about how to select the capacitor values, or much about why we wanted them. We are going to ...
