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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I ...

Most switching power-supply controllers provide non-latching fault protection. Satisfying a requirement for a latchoff response to a fault often requires the addition of excessive and redundant ...

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, ...
