Over my almost 60 years in the auto repair industry as an ASE and GM Master Technician, and vocational education automotive technology instructor, I have seen firsthand how vehicles have evolved from ...

Automotive electronic control applications require robust input power conditioning. The circuitry must absorb 100-V transients on one hand, while providing a stable dc bus for a few hundred ...

Many integrated circuits have undocumented features or abilities. This is one of them. The TLC555 output (pin 3) can sink a 100mA load to 1.28V. The open drain transistor reset (pin 7) can sink 100mA ...

This circuit prevents over-discharge of a lead-acid battery by opening a relay contact when the voltage drops to a predetermined voltage (lower voltage threshold). When the battery is recharged to a ...

In electronic and industrial automation systems, relay modules play a crucial role by allowing low-power control signals to switch high-power devices. Selecting between a 5V relay module and a 12V ...
