An amplifier is a device used to amplify the power of the output signal, although with some additional noise whereas a preamplifier is a device used to change a weak electrical signal into a noise-tolerant clear output signal. These two amplifiers utilize voltage to enhance the power of sound signals, and although they perform it in different ways & they have different functions. When preamplifiers are normally used to increase the microphone recordings level without increasing its noise … [Read more...]
Occupancy Sensor : Working, Circuit, Types & Its Applications
Generally, lighting systems operate with lighting control devices by switching on & off the lights. So there are thousands of lighting systems used in offices and commercial buildings but the operation cost of lighting systems is more so every year many organisations insure losses by paying to work on lighting systems even when there is no one in the office to work. To overcome this problem, the best solution is to adopt an automatic lighting control switch that controls the light by turning … [Read more...]

N76E003AT20 Microcontroller: Pin Configuration, Features & Its Applications
Major companies such as Texas Instruments, PIC, ST, and others provide many microcontrollers with different features and prices. But when it comes to differentiating these microcontrollers based on features and form factor versus price, choosing the right MCU for application between them will be very difficult. However, in 2008, a Taiwan-based semiconductor company called Nuvoton which was spun off as a subsidiary of Winbond offered many useful cost-effective microcontrollers, cutting-edge … [Read more...]
IRFZ44N MOSFET : Pin Configuration, Circuit, Working, Interface Arduino & Its Applications
In the 1980s, the advent of high-power MOSFETs made power switching more efficient and faster. Almost all modern switching power supplies use some form of power MOSFET as the switching element. MOSFETs are preferred due to their low conduction and switching losses, and the DC gate current is zero because gate MOSFETs are made up of capacitors. IRF series N-channel Power MOSFETs are developed to control DC fans, the light intensity of LED strips, and DC motors without a relay. This article gives … [Read more...]
MPF102 JFET : Pin Configuration, Circuit, Working & Its Applications
In many electronic circuits like small signal amplifier circuits, switching circuits, transfer circuits, etc. Junction Field Effect Transistors (JFETs) are commonly used electronic components due to their high input impedance and low power consumption.
