Figure 1 gives the basic circuit of a transformer coupled CE amplifier stage. In figure 1, a current source Is having shunt source resistance Rs drives the amplifier through a transformer TR1. Load resistance RL is fed from the collector output circuit through a transformer TR2. A transformer coupled CE amplifier finds following applications: As input stage of a multistage simplified and usually driven by a microphone. As output stage feeding the load impedance and As intermediate stage Transformer coupling permits impedance matching thereby resulting in greater power gain. The…

Security is a major concern in today’s world. Criminal minded people, who find robbing as a better way of earning, are increasing more day by day. Previously, we had posted Accident Detection and alert system using arduino which also works on same logic. Automobiles are more vulnerable to theft since there are tons of vehicles left unused and the fact that each part of the system provides quite a good amount of money makes it more fascinating. Among many other automobiles, cars top the list of being stolen globally. Thieves…
Read MoreTouch Switch Circuit using Transistor
Today, I have come up with another simple but very applicable project ‘Touch Switch Circuit using Transistor’. With this simple project, you can modify your existing electrical/ electronic appliance with a modern touch facility. A few days earlier I bought a reading lamp from one of the Chinese stores, the design of the Chinese product is quite impressive. The thing that motivates me to write this post is touch facilities i.e. you can on and off the lamp by simply touching the touch plate. The circuit posted here used two…

How to interface the 4×4 keypad and atmega32 with a single pin? While working with most of the electronic projects, you might have noticed one thing in common; they involve several multiple connections between the components used and the microcontroller. Well, it does seem a necessity too, since doing some hardware work in a certain way is not a piece of cake. Because of this, we are compelled to remove some components or include an additional microcontroller in the project which makes it bulkier and less convenient. To address this…
