Simple circuit to detect mobile phones

Cell phones typically send and receive signals in the frequency range 0.9 to 3GHz. This article provides a simple circuit that detects the presence of an activated mobile phone by detecting these signals.
The basic principle of the mobile phone detector circuit is to detect radio frequency signals. In Schottky diode circuits, Schottky semiconductors are used to detect mobile phone signals because of their unique properties of being able to correct low-frequency signals with low noise rates. When an inductor is placed near an RF signal source, it receives the signal through mutual inductance. This signal is rectified by a Schottky diode. This low-power signal can be amplified and used to power any indicator light, such as an LED in this case.

Output Short-Circuit Protection Reference Design for TPS61088 Boost Converter

This reference design provides an output short-circuit protection solution for the TPS61088 boost converter. This function is implemented through the overcurrent protection (OCP) circuit. When the output is shorted to ground or the load current is higher than a certain value, the OCP circuit will disconnect the TPS61088 from the corresponding load. This solution only requires an additional low-cost comparator, a sensing resistor and a small N-MOSFET. By adding this small amount of circuitry, the TPS61088 is protected from output short circuit and overload conditions.
