SOLID STATE RELAY REQUIRES ONLY 50uA DRIVE CURRENT
This circuit demands a control current that is 100 times smaller than that
needed by a typical optically isolated solid state relays. It is ideal for battery
powered systems. Using a combination of a high current triac and a very sensitive
low current SCR, the circuit can control about 600 watts of power to load while
providing full isolation and transient protection.

Simple Circuit Drives Latching Relays - 02/01/96 EDN-Design
Ideas....Figure 1 shows a low-parts-count circuit that can drive one- or
two-coil latching relays. Latching relays are useful in sensitive analog
designs. The 74ACT174 hex flip-flop has ample capability to drive the Aromat
TQ2E.... [Design Idea by Roy McCammon, 3M Austin, TX] |

Smartcard-controlled Relay - From a designer's perspective, there are
no "good" or "bad" circuits. This article will show how to transform a

Soft-Start Circuit For Power Amps - Although the soft start circuit can be added
to any sized transformer, the winding resistance of 300VA and smaller transformers is
generally sufficient to prevent a massive surge current. Use of a soft start circuit is
definitely recommended for 500VA and larger transformers.... [Rod Elliott (ESP)] |

Solenoid trip circuit works at battery's end of life - 8-Jul-04 Issue of EDN
This Design Idea involves a low-power motion-detector circuit that operates from battery
power for extended times. Part of the design includes a solenoid-operated trip mechanism
that triggers whenever it detects motion. The drive circuit for the solenoid in the
original design worked fine as long as the battery was fresh but failed as the battery got
into the middle of its life, even though suf.... [Design Idea by Brad Peeters, Theta

Solid-state Relay Saves Battery's Life - 09/01/94 EDN-Design Ideas....The
circuit in Fig 1 uses a low-resistance p-channel FET, Q4, to disconnect a load from the
battery when the battery's voltage drops below a certain value. After you disconnect the
circuit, it remains off until you remove and replace the battery.... [Design Idea by Tom

Solid-State Tesla Coil, #1 - Nikola Tesla is considered by some to be the
greatest inventor of our modern electrical age, and many experts consider him to be the
true father of radio. However, today he is best remembered for his fascinating wireless
power-transmission experiments, using his famous Tesla Coil. The high-frequency
air-core, oscillating Tesla Coil is just as exciting today as it was back in 1899....

Solid-State Tesla Coil, #2 - Tesla coils have been around for almost 100 years
and, with th exception of vacuum-tube driven coils, not much has changed from the way
Nikola Tesla invented them. This article describes a new type of Tesla coil: a true
solid-state Tesla coil. One thing that makes our Tesla coil unusual is that the coupling
to the secondary coil is by a direct electrical connection rather than by magnetic
fields.... [rewritten by Tony van Roon] |
Square Tesla Coil - Figure 1 shows the schematic diagram of the Tesla Coil
circuit. The circuit consists of little more than a few coils, a step-up power
transformer, and a capacitor. Power from an AC wall receptacle is fed to transformer T1 (a
small neon-sign transformer) which steps the voltage up to about 3000-volts AC.…. [Tony
