This UC2842 IC based SMPS design is simple, cheap and efficient kind of isolated power supply. We can use it in off-line stuff like AC-DC adapters, battery chargers and all those small power supplies. What is cool? It takes that high voltage AC then steps it down and then keeps input and output fully isolated […]

How to Measure Transformer’s Current Capacity
We can use a shunt resistor and ammeter concept to find out how much maximum current a transformer can give, in other words, we are trying to know the current rating or amp capacity of a transformer. If you do not wish to read the full article below, you can feel free to watch the […]
Simple H-Bridge Inverter Circuit using IR2184 ICs
In this post we will try to understand this full bridge or H-bridge inverter circuit using IR2184 ICs. Let us begin breaking it down section by section. If you do not want to read the full article, you can simply watch the following video instead: What This Circuit is Doing: So here basically we are […]
Single Ended nOOds, 300mm long Flexible LED Filament, Warm White 3V
So here we are talking about this cool looking thing called Single Ended nOOds, basically it is a type of flexible LED filament which is 300mm long which means around 30 cm, like one standard scale. It glows in warm white color and works nicely with just 3V DC. What is it, actually? This LED […]
50A High Current Sensor IC ACS758: Circuit Diagram
So in this post we will try to understand everything about ACS758 current sensor, how this works, how we can use it, what is the technical specs, what is inside this IC and how to use in real circuits etc. This ACS758 is actually made by Allegro Microsystems and this is a very strong and […]
Explained: Snubber Circuit for MOSFET H-Bridge
Here we are going to talk deeply about snubber circuits and why we must use them with MOSFET H-bridge circuits. Because if we do not put snubber in H-bridge then that MOSFETs might blow off during switching. Specially when we drive inductive loads like transformer, motor, relay, solenoid, etc. then this thing becomes very serious. […]
