Very Low-Power Inrush-Current Limiter Protects Hot-Pluggable Apps - Inrush current occurs in many circuits that are hot-plugged into a power supply or battery, causing the input load capacitor to experience a sudden surge of current. This surge can damage or degrade the input capacitor, generate a __ Designed by Narek Pezeshkian
Volt/F Converter Draws Flea Power - 04/24/97 EDN-Design Ideas The V/F converter in Figure 1 is unique because it draws less than 30 µA from one unregulated supply while converting bipolar input voltages. It produces three CMOS

Voltage Limiting with a Supercapacitor - Supercapacitors are working their way into more and more applications where electrical energy needs to be stored. These robust devices can be charged and discharged 1000s of times and will typically outlast a battery . . . Hobby Circuit designed by David A. Johnson P.E.-March, 2010
Voltage Monitor - This voltage monitor circuit is based on an Elektor design with a 555 timer IC in the book 302 Circuits, which uses two LEDs (red and green) to indicate whether the voltage is within range. must register on this site __ Designed by Published in Elecktor July/Aug, 2014
Voltage Monitor - When the input voltage is 0 the LED glows. The LED stops glowing when the voltage rises to the level determined by R2. Reverse + and, pins to reverse operating mode. To set voltage at which LED goes __ Contact: IQ Technologies
Voltage Monitor for a 9v Battery - Nine voltage batteries are used in a wide variety of electronic devices. But, you often don’t know when it is time to change the battery until the device stops operating. The hobby circuit below provides a visual indication when the battery needs to be . . .

Watt-Hour Meter Monitor - Have you ever wondered how much power your house or apartment is using? Most watt-hour meters are like the one shown below. Some newer ones have a digital display but there millions of these older models still in use . . . Hobby Circuit designed by David A. Johnson P.E.-September, 2008
Wide VIN Range Step-Down Regulators Consume Only 2.8μA Input Current - Battery life is paramount in modern battery-powered systems. portable applications, such as remote sensors, require voltage regulators which have low current standby states and also able to provide bursts of high power. Linear Technology’s LT®3970/LT3971 lead the industry in low current standby mode by consuming only __ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, John Gardner-Design Engineer Power Products May 23, 2011
Wire Loop Security Alarm - A wire is looped through various objects which are to be monitored. The loop wire is typically an aircraft cable but could also be any insulated stranded wire. The loop is attached to a table or desk. Should the loop be cut, the alarm is sounded . . . Hobby Circuit designed by Dave Johnson P.E.-December, 2004
