The water level alarm circuit is a simple mechanism to detect and indicate the level of water in the overhead tank and also in the other containers. Nowadays, all the householders/owners are storing the water in overhead tanks by using the pumps. When the water is stored in the tank, no one can identify the level of water and also, no one can know when the water tank will fill. Hence there is an overflow of water in the tank, thus there is a wastage of energy and water. To resolve this type of … [Read more...]
What is RISC and CISC Architecture with Advantages and Disadvantages
Central Processing Unit Architecture operates the capacity to work from “Instruction Set Architecture” to where it was designed. The architectural designs of CPU are RISC (Reduced instruction set computing) and CISC (Complex instruction set computing). CISC has the ability to execute addressing modes or multi-step operations within one instruction set. It is the design of the CPU where one instruction performs many low-level operations. … [Read more...]
Different Types of Arduino Boards and Its Uses
Arduino board was designed in the Ivrea Interaction Design Institute intended for students without a background in electronics and programming concepts. These Arduino boards started altering to adapt to new requirements and challenges, separating its present from simple 8-bit boards to products for IoT (Internet of Things) applications, 3D printing, wearable, and embedded applications. All boards are entirely open-source, allowing users to build them separately and finally adapt them to their … [Read more...]

IC 741 Op-Amp Tutorial and Characteristics
The acronym of the term Op-Amp is an operational amplifier and it is a one type solid state integrated circuit. In the year 1963 the first op-amp is manufactured by “Fairchild Semiconductors”. The op-amp is the basic building blocks of analog electronic circuits that perform a various types of analog signal processing tasks. Operational amplifiers use external feedback to control its functions and these are the multipurpose devices in all electronic devices. Op-Amp has two inputs and one output … [Read more...]
8051 Microcontroller Architecture and Block Diagram with Applications
The 8051 Microcontroller is one of the basic type of microcontroller, designed by Intel in 1980's. This microcontroller was based on Harvard Architecture and developed primarily for use in embedded systems technology. Normally, this microcontroller was developed using NMOS technology, which requires more power to operate. Therefore, Intel redesigned Microcontroller 8051 using CMOS technology and their updated versions came with a letter C in their name, for instance an 80C51 it is an 8 bit … [Read more...]
Basic FPGA Architecture and its Applications
Electronic industry has simulations and prototyping as their important segments since a long period. Electronic companies design the hardware dedicated to their products with their standards and protocols which makes it challenging for the end users to reconfigure the hardware as per their needs. This requirement for hardware led to the growth of a new segment of customer-configurable field programmable integrated circuits called FPGAs. In this article, we discuss FPGA Architecture and … [Read more...]
Step by Step Procedure of PLC Programming in Industries
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are the major components in industrial automation and control systems. The controlling nature of PLC is ranging from simple- push button switching to a single motor to several complex control structures. The PLC programming is an important task of designing and implementing control application depending on customers need. A PLC program consists of a set of instructions either in textual or graphical form, which represents the logic to be implemented for … [Read more...]
