A previous Design Idea outlined a relatively simple circuit in which a momentary pushbutton could be made to function like a latching, mechanical switch. The article generated a good deal of reader ...

For some of us, there are few sounds more satisfying than the deep resonant “thunk” of a high quality toggle switch slamming into position. There isn’t an overabundance of visceral experiences when ...

This project is an electronic circuit based on a 555 timer that functions as an on/off latch switch. A single button is used to turn an electrical load (such as a lamp or fan) on and off without the ...

This is a simple clap switch circuit with high sensitivity. The only unusual component is the single coil latching relay. While there are numerous means of generating the latching function, the ...

Overview This is an Arduino-based latching power switch with an automatic shut-off feature. Pressing the button turns the output ON. After 10 seconds, the system shuts off automatically. Pressing the ...

Abstract: Power management for handheld devices often employ dc-dc converters which use large switching arrays to supply stable voltages. Switching of the output driver arrays produce significant over ...

Electronic devices are built from many different parts. Understanding how these components work together is key to understanding electronics. Circuit diagrams use symbols to represent each component, ...
