This Design Idea offers a practical approach to cascading two or more Johnson counters together with a bare minimum of parts. The CD4017 Johnson decade counter finds use in simple circuits ranging ...

I got some Geiger tubes a few days ago and built a very simple Geiger counter circuit that is powered entirely through the microphone jack (microphone connection provides a little power for things ...

Implementing standard UART communication required use of Silego’s GreenPAK analog and digital blocks, with the end result being a Geiger counter that offers real-time radiation measurement. The Geiger ...

Although they’ve been on the shelves of many online retailers for quite a few years now, Geiger-Tubes have been conspicuously absent from hobby electronics magazines/websites. It has to be said that ...

The challenge in measuring low frequencies is that the counter gate time is often too short for the signal relatively long period. This non-critical circuit automatically multiplies an input single ...

Hamamatsu Photonics introduce the new multi-pixel photon counter (MPPC), the S10362-11 series. The device features brand new technology utilizing a Geiger-mode avalanche photodiode structure for ultra ...
