Within the next few years we may find all conventional capacitor-start type of ceiling fans getting replaced with BLDC ceiling fan circuits, since the concept allows the operation to be extremely efficient and save power by more than 50%. Replacing Capacitor Start Fan with BLDC Fan Just as the traditional incandescent lamps today are almost […]
Newly Updated Circuit Projects:
50V 3-Phase BLDC Motor Driver
This yet another versatile 3-phase driver device in the form of IC L6235 from ST Microelectronics allows you to drive a 50V 3-phase BLDC motor with extreme efficiency.The chip also includes all the required protection features built-in, along with an easy to configure external speed control stage. How the IC L6235 BLDC Driver Works The IC […]
120 Watt Amplifier Circuit using TDA 2030 IC
An impressive 120 watt amplifier circuit can be built by cascading a couple of TDA 2030 IC in a bridged tied load (BTL) configuration and through a few current boosting transistors. Advantage of a BTL Amplifier Topology The main objective of a BTL configuration is to enable a two way operation of the load which […]
GSM Car Ignition and Central Lock Circuit Using Arduino
In this post I will show how to construct a GSM based car security system using Arduino, which can lock and unlock car’s ignition system and central lock by sending a password SMS to car from your cellphone Car theft can be a heart break; it feels like your loved one got kidnapped. It hurts […]
Compact 3-Phase IGBT Driver IC STGIPN3H60 – Datasheet, Pinout
In this post I have explained the datasheet, and the pinout specification of the IC STGIPN3H60 from ST microelectronics, which is perhaps the slimmest and the smartest 3-phase IGBT driver IC featuring in-built IGBTs, rated to work with 600V DC bus and upto 3 amp current, that’s equivalent to almost 1800 VA handling power. 3-Phase IGBT […]
How to Control a Servo Motor using IC 555
In this project I have explained the basic specifications of a servo motor and also how to control a Servo Motor using a 555 timer IC, and just two push buttons. WHY SERVO? Servo Motors are used in variety of fields. These are mainly used as actuators in those areas where we need a precise […]
