Hacks of Electronics
Here are the basic electronics tutorial circuits for beginners. You can find here tutorials on operational amplifiers (opamp), transistor, MOSFETs, 555 timer IC, audio amplifiers and many more.
How does the 555 Timer work? NE555 is one of the most popular and widely used ICs of all time. In this blog, we will discuss the working of the 555 timer IC. Overview The 555 Timer was designed by Hans Camenzind in 1971. It can be found in vast variety of electronic devices. 555 […]
Definition of Active components: “Active components are those who has the ability to control flow of electrons either by using voltage or by using another current.” Voltage-controlled devices are MOSFETs, vacuum tubes, while current-controlled devices are bipolar junction transistors which allow one current to control another. Active components can be of different types like semiconductor […]
In this blog you will see how to make Flashing LED with 555 timer. 555 IC can work in three modes Astable, Monostable, and Bistable, out of which we will be using Astable mode of working. Watch this video to understand better Overview: In astable mode 555 timer continuously oscillates between 0 and 1 ( […]
In this article, I am going to talk about Arduino Uno pinout and its features Let’s start… The Arduino Uno board: In Italian Uno means one. The Arduino Uno is an open-source microcontroller-based development board. ATmega328p is the microcontroller used in Arduino Uno. Its software is also open-source. It is simply ideal for hobbyists as […]
You can see Shockley diode symbol it is a four-layer (P-N-P-N) semiconductor device. Like pn junction diode It conducts in forward bias and stops conducting in reverse bias. The main difference between a conventional diode and a Shockley diode is, it starts conducting when the forward voltage crosses its breakdown voltage. It is an active component. It […]
The definition of diode is very simple, “A diode is a two-terminal polarized electronic component which mainly conducts current in one direction and blocks in other direction”. Its resistance in one direction is low (ideally zero) and high (ideally infinite) resistance in the other direction. There are various types of Diodes like Zener, Schottky, tunnel, […]
