TPS24710/11/12/13 Hot-Swap Controller Circuit Explained
When we talk about hot-swap controllers, it is basically an electronic device or integrated circuit (IC) that allows you to the insert or/and remove circuit boards, modules or parts within an active system without having you to switch off the system. It regulates the surge current whenever a component is installed and protects from short […]
High Current Transformerless Power Supply Circuit
The simple configuration of a transformerless power supply circuit presented below is able to provide high current at any assigned fixed voltage level. The idea seems to have solved the problem of deriving high current from capacitive power supplies which earlier seemed a difficult proposition. Introduction I have discussed a few transformerless power supply circuits […]
Adjustable 0-100V 50 Amp SMPS Circuit
The high power adjustable switching power supply is perfect for the purpose of laboratory work. The topology used to design the system is switching topology – half controlled bridge. Written and Submitted by: Dhrubajyoti Biswas Warning: The following circuit design works with a direct 220 V Mains AC without any isolation at the input side, […]
Single Phase Variable Frequency Drive VFD Circuit
In this post I have explained a single phase variable frequency drive circuit or a VFD circuit for controlling AC motor sped without affecting their operational specifications. What is a VFD Motors and other similar inductive loads specifically do not “like” operating with frequencies that might be not within their manufacturing specs, and tend to […]
Understanding Capacitor Codes and Markings
In this article I will comprehensively explain everything regarding how to read and understand capacitor codes and markings through various diagrams and charts. The information can be used for identifying and selecting capacitors correctly for a given circuit application. By Surbhi Prakash Capacitor Codes and associated Markings The various parameters of the capacitors such as […]
