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 […]
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. […]
100A AC Load Monitoring Circuit using Arduino, Watt Limit, LCD, Alarm, Auto Shutdown
In this project we are going to make one very useful grid power protection circuit. This will be like a power guard system which we can use in homes or apartments to monitor the wattage of the load and also to cut off the load automatically if it starts taking too much wattage, more than […]
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.
