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. What This Circuit is Doing: So here basically we are using two IR2184 ICs for driving two half-bridge stages which finally together become a full H-bridge inverter. This […]

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. What Is Our Goal? We have one transformer, maybe old, maybe no label, or maybe we made it […]
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 […]
SCR and Triac Gate Resistor Calculator
Here is a SCR and Triac gate resistor calculator along with the full detailed explanation. This will help users to calculate the right value of gate resistor for triggering an SCR or TRIAC safely. Calculator by homemade-circuits.com SCR / TRIAC Gate Resistor Calculator Gate Trigger Voltage (Vgt): Gate Trigger Current (Igt): Trigger Supply Voltage (Vs): […]
Understanding CMOS IC 4035 Datasheet – 4-Bit Parallel In Parallel Out Shift Register
So now we are talking about this digital IC called 4035 which is made using CMOS technology, that means it will use very low current and will give us high noise immunity. Inside this IC we have got 4 flip-flops which are arranged in such a way that they can hold and shift 4-bit data. […]
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 […]
