How many remote controls do you have in your home? Don’t you wish all these things were better integrated somehow, or that you could add remote control functionality to a random device? It’s a common ...

Here, we are designing a simple light activated switch circuit using LDR. It can be used in security applications like when there is darkness on the LDR, it stops lighting. The main principle of this ...

Relays usually are driven using optocouplers, which offer isolation between analog and digital grounds to ensure that switching currents in the relay coils do not affect the noise margin of the ...

Solid-state relays (SSRs) control load currents through solid-state switches such as triacs, SCRs, or power transistors. Solid-state relays (SSRs) control load currents through solid-state switches ...

Among semiconductors, the muting transistor and its audio application is perhaps the most obscure and poorly understood of all. There is extremely little information on this subject available on the ...

Solid-state relays are much smaller than corresponding single-pole relays. They are also faster, dissipate less power, and withstand a larger number of operations. And unlike electromechanical relays, ...
