In the digital logic scenario, the output is completely a function of the current input. In a consequence of this process, logic gates that are used to represent digital circuits are categorized as sequential logic … [Read more...]
Basics of SCR : Construction, Working & Its Applications
The electric name of Silicon controlled or the semiconductor controlled rectifier (SCR) is Thyristor. These are the four-layered semiconductor devices where three terminals are known as the anode, the cathode, and the gate. Based on the triggering applied at the gate the device can be treated as a switch or used as a rectifier. These SCRs are unfit for amplifications. SCRs are responsible for conducting the flow of current in a single direction. Hence it is also a unidirectional device. It … [Read more...]
Ohmmeter Circuit Diagram and Working Principle
While testing, repairing or troubleshooting electronic equipment, you use different meters and different types of test equipment to test proper circuit currents, resistances, voltages and to decide whether the wiring is faulty. Without knowing the operation of the Ohmmeter, it is not possible to connect this instrument to a circuit to test the component. However, to be a competent technician, we need to be competent to do more than merely read a test instrument. For that we need a basic … [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...]
