Diode Rectification: Half-Wave, Full-Wave, PIV
In electronics, rectification is a process in which a rectifier diode converts an alternating full cycle AC input signal into a half cycle DC output signal. A single diode produces half wave rectification, and a network of 4 diodes produces a full wave rectification In this post we will analyze both half wave and full […]
Laughter Sound Simulator Circuit
As the name suggests, this device generates electronic sound, resembling human laughter. BASIC DESIGN To enable the circuit start the proposed operations, it must have a fundamental sound input or frequency for processing. This basic frequency is established through a simple oscillator operating at 1 kHz frequency. The next, requirement would be to process this […]
LED Obstruction Light Circuit
Obstruction lights are warning lights that we see at the top of tall structures like towers and skyscrapers, installed for indicating the aircrafts and other flying objects about these obstructions. These lights alert the flying aircrafts regarding the minimum height they should maintain above these tall structures to avoid a possible collision and accidents. Obstruction […]
Rotating LED Chakra Circuit for God Idols
LED Chakra is an ornamental lighting system which depicts or imitates a rotating wheel like appearance, by means of sequentially shifting Illuminated LED arrays. Indian subcontinent is a land of festivals and celebrations which mostly start from the month of August and continues until the New Year. All these festivals have one fundamental thing in […]
P-Channel MOSFET in H-Bridge Applications
Implementing P-channel MOSFETs in an H-bridge circuit may look easy and enticing, however it may require some stringent calculations and parameters for achieving an optimal response. P-channel MOSFETs are usually implemented for load ON/OFF switching. The ease-of-use of P-channel options on the high side allows them to be very convenient for applications like Low-Voltage Drives […]
