[Glitch] got his hands on a slew of relays which are meant for use in industrial equipment. They are designed to operate at 24V. He wanted to use these with common microcontrollers and instead of ...

[Bart] built a couple dozen Pololu compatible relay drivers. If you have a Reprap, you’re probably familiar with the Pololu stepper motor driver. These tiny pieces of kit provide stepper motor control ...

Traditional relay drivers involve multiple discrete components to drive the relay and protect against damage to the microcontroller or other devices that can be caused by the voltage spike generated ...

A simple and convenient way to interface 2 relays for switching application in your project. This relay driver boosts the input impedance with a regular BC547 NPN transistor (or equivalent). Very ...

Active clamp structure prevents overvoltage when inductive load is switched off TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO: 6502) today announced that it has launched a MOSFET, "SSM3K337R", ...

The addition of a components and an unused NC contact to a dc supply provides a power-reducing feature to a relay driver circuit. Electromagnetic relays need much less power for holding than they do ...

Relays usually are driven using optocouplers, which offer isolation between analog and digital grounds to ensure that switching currents in the relay coils do not affect the noise margin of the ...
