We many times think that how we can make a SMPS circuit, and we feel that this is very complex. But that is not so because we can do this by following simple manual calculations step by step. We only need to know that SMPS design is always starting from the transformer. We cannot make […]

IC IR2111 H-Bridge Inverter Circuit with Shut Down
This circuit is basically a H bridge inverter where two IC IR2111 are working for driving four MOSFETs that are connected in H bridge way. We also see that there is a overload and over current shut down using BC547 small transistors. So what happens is that we can run a load with AC waveform […]
Modified Inverter Circuits using 4049, 4093 ICs
The following inverter designs are unique modified sine wave inverter concepts designed me. The entire unit along with the oscillator stage and the output stage can be easily built by any electronic enthusiast at home. The present designed will be easily able to support 500 VA of output load. Let’s try to understand the circuit […]
Adjustable RMS Modified Inverter Circuit using BJTs
A very interesting circuit of a RMS controlled modified sine wave inverter is discussed in this article which incorporates just ordinary transistors for the proposed implementations. The use of transistors typically makes the circuit easier to understand and more friendly with the new electronic enthusiasts. The inclusion of a PWM control in the circuit makes […]
RC Snubber Calculator for MOSFETs, Relay Contacts and Triacs
This calculator is basically finding out two things: …so that we can make a perfect RC snubber for killing high voltage spikes across: Now let us break down everything it’s calculating. RC Snubber Calculator Application Type: MOSFETTRIACRelay Contact Peak Voltage (V): Peak Current (A): Rise Time (µs): Calculate Snubber © homemade-Circuits.com Basic Snubber Formula Logic […]
Shunt Resistor Calculator for Ammeters
Ok so here we have one simple calculator which can help us to calculate the shunt resistor value that we need to connect across a normal ammeter when we want to use that ammeter to measure high current, more than its actual range. So normally, ammeter can measure only small current, like 1 amp or […]
