I want to have some fun with my LED christmas lights. They are wired antiparallel, so putting a diode in the line causes only one half to light.
I want to use two diodes to seperate the ac cycles so I can control them seperatly.
I'm having a bit of a mental road block as to how to do this with transistors or fets.
I imagin there are similar circuits out there, but I can't figure out what to google.
Can this be done with only NPNs and diodes? Or will I need a PNP too?
Is there a term I can google that might bring up some relivent circuits? Is this a common way of doing anything else?
